Artlist prompt
A woman in her 40s on a phone call by a window, listening with a relieved half-smile, soft daylight, home interior out of focus. Square frame with the subject centered: it is shown inside a circle. Bright, clean lifestyle photograph, soft natural daylight, light and uncluttered background with plenty of open space, genuine smiles and movement, candid and unposed, true-to-life skin tones, one small pop of red in wardrobe or props, shallow depth of field. No text, no logos, no watermarks, no hospital branding.
