The prompt

Edit my uploaded photo so it looks like a real print from a cheap film camera, not a polished digital image. Keep my face exactly as it is: same features, skin texture, pores and expression. Do not smooth my skin or change my face shape. Apply: - Visible but fine film grain across the whole frame, a little stronger in the shadows. - One soft orange-red light leak entering from the [left/right] edge, covering no more than a quarter of the frame. - Slightly lifted blacks and gentle fade, warm highlights, colours similar to an expired consumer colour negative film. - A small amount of softness at the corners and slight vignetting. - Optional: a faint date stamp in orange digits in the bottom-right corner reading "[date]". Keep: the original composition, background and clothing. Nothing is added or removed from the scene. Format: same aspect ratio as my photo. No borders unless I ask, no logos, no watermark. Avoid heavy blur, glitch effects and fake dust that covers my face.
