The complete prompt
IDENTITY LOCK: Do not change either subject's facial bone structure,
eye shape and color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, or skin tone in
any way — keep both 100% identical to the original uploaded photo.
Body build and proportions unchanged for both individuals. Non-
negotiable.
DO NOT COPY FROM REFERENCE: This is a full re-render, not a direct
edit of the original photo. Only carry over the facial identity (bone
structure, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone) for both subjects
from the reference photo — do NOT copy the original photo's
expressions, eye gaze direction, head angles/tilts, or body poses.
Treat expression and pose as completely open and generate them fresh
based on the scene described below, not based on what the reference
photo shows.
LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light —
thousands of warm bulb lights illuminating Mysore Palace's domes and
archways at dusk, acting as a soft golden key from camera-left. Fill —
soft ambient deep-blue dusk sky light from above, gently balancing the
warm key at close to a 2:1 ratio. Rim light — the palace's glowing
outline behind them creates a soft golden edge along both subjects'
hair and shoulders. Catchlights in both sets of eyes should be warm
and soft, reflecting the thousands of tiny bulbs.
LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/2.0 — flattering facial
compression, background rendered as soft creamy bokeh with the
palace's illuminated domes and arches gently blurred, gentle fall-off
in sharpness away from the focal point, faint natural vignette at the
corners.
FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Warm-cool royal evening film response — bulb-
light highlights bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted
with a faint deep-blue dusk tint rather than crushed black, rich warm
gold midtones held steady against the cooler evening sky for natural
depth separation.
Style: Coordinated elegant evening outfits — the woman in a rich
silk saree or anarkali in royal blue, maroon, or gold with delicate
jewelry, the man in a matching bandhgala or kurta in a complementary
shade.
COUPLE BIOMECHANICS (real physical interlock, not a generic pose):
Standing together on the palace lawn with the illuminated facade
behind them, one partner's hand resting gently in the other's,
fingers naturally interlaced at relaxed waist height. Bodies angled
slightly toward each other, one partner's head turned to admire the
palace while the other watches them, weight shifted naturally onto
one foot each as two real people pausing to take in the view would —
freshly generated for this scene, not matching the reference photo's
original poses.
EXPRESSION: Warm awe and closeness — one partner's face lit with
genuine wonder looking at the palace, the other's face soft with
affection looking at their partner, gentle authentic smiles, shoulders
relaxed — freshly generated, not copied from the reference photo's
expressions.
RETOUCH PIPELINE: Frequency-separation-style retouching — smooth
tonal transitions on skin while fully preserving fine pore-level
texture and natural color variation under the warm bulb-light glow.
Subtle dodge-and-burn to retain natural facial planes for both
subjects, no flattened or washed-out glow.
FINISHING: Fine film grain overlay at low opacity, very slight
chromatic softness at the frame edges as a real lens would render, no
digital sharpening halos, natural imperfect crop as if not perfectly
composed in-camera.
Ensure zero facial distortion, anatomically correct hands with
natural finger interlace between both subjects, and consistent
shadow/light-source logic between the warm palace-light key and cool
dusk-sky fill.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
