Apply only an Instagram Flash filter-style effect to the uploaded image. Do not regenerate, redesign, crop, reframe, beautify, retouch, or change any content. Preserve the exact same person, face, expression, pose, outfit, hairstyle, objects, background, framing, and composition. Change only the filter treatment: night conversion, direct flash behavior, color grading, visible noise, and film grain. Convert the image into a darker night-like / low-light version of the same scene. Make the environment cooler, moodier, and richer, with a strong green-cyan / teal ambience and deeper night density, while keeping the original scene recognizable. The background should become darker and cooler than the subject, but not muddy or fully black. The subject treatment is critical: light the subject with a strong direct on-camera frontal flash that is clearly visible in the result. The flash must dominate the subject more than the ambient light. The face, skin, hair, and clothing facing the camera should look brighter, flatter, more directly flash-lit, and slightly lifted in exposure. The subject should appear more illuminated and more separated from the surroundings, like a real camera-flash snapshot, not a softly relit portrait. Keep the skin warm, bright, glowing, and flash-washed, while the surroundings stay cooler and darker. If reflective, glossy, metallic, leather, glass, polished, or shiny surfaces are present, show realistic small flash reflections / specular pops where appropriate. If the scene geometry naturally allows it, include a believable subtle hard-edged flash shadow behind the subject or nearby objects, but only where it would occur naturally. Match the overall look of a rich Instagram Flash-style photo: stronger night mood, cooler green-cyan ambience, brighter flash-lit subject, slightly punchier contrast, and a more obvious filtered look. Add visible digital noise and fine 35mm color-negative film grain across the whole image. Keep the noise and grain clearly visible, especially in darker areas, smooth surfaces, and the background. If the original image already contains noise or compression texture, do not clean it up — blend it naturally into the overall grain structure. The final result should look like the same original photo captured at night with a strong direct camera flash, featuring richer green-cyan ambience, a much more obviously flash-lit subject, visible film grain, visible noise, and a filtered Instagram Flash look. Avoid: soft studio lighting, weak flash on the subject, polished portrait lighting, over-clean denoising, overly neutral colors, dull flat skin, muddy blacks, or changing the image content.
