Candid Street Romance Film Still Prompt (Bookshop)

A highly detailed JSON prompt for generating an ultra-photorealistic, candid street photography image resembling a film still, set in a Kadıköy second-hand bookshop. It focuses on capturing an intimate, quiet moment between a young couple, emphasizing authenticity markers like real skin texture, slight imperfections, motivated practical lighting, and an imperfect, documentary-style handheld framing (35mm lens).
