Three-Layer Sunset Couple Portrait
Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.
The complete prompt
Use the uploaded user photo(s) as the ONLY identity reference for the human subjects. Recreate a warm, romantic three-panel seaside photo collage matching the reference composition as closely as possible while preserving the uploaded person or couple’s exact recognizable identities. If two people are supplied, preserve each individual independently and consistently across every panel: exact facial structure, face shape, proportions, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, cheekbones, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, hairstyle characteristics, facial hair, eyewear, and distinctive features. Never copy the identities of the reference models, never blend the two identities together, and never beautify, redesign, age, de-age, slim, enlarge, or reinterpret their faces. The uploaded photo determines WHO each person is; the reference composition determines their expressions, gaze, head pose, body pose, styling, lighting, framing, and scene.
Create a vertical 3:4 portrait collage divided into three wide horizontal photographic strips with almost no visible border between them. Maintain the same nostalgic, intimate, candid vacation-photo feeling throughout. Use strong golden-orange sunset grading, soft highlights, slightly hazy warmth, subtle analog softness, natural skin texture, gentle grain, low-to-moderate contrast, and a dreamy late-evening coastal atmosphere.
TOP PANEL: Show the female subject alone at the shoreline during golden sunset, framed approximately from the waist/chest upward in a medium shot. Her torso is turned mostly away from the camera toward the sea while she twists her upper body and head back over her shoulder toward the camera. Her head is slightly tilted, eyes looking directly toward the viewer, with a soft affectionate closed-mouth smile and relaxed eyebrows. Her expression should feel gentle, playful, and naturally happy rather than posed. Her hair appears long, dark, wet, and loosely hanging down her back and around her shoulders as though she has just been in the water; adapt length and texture naturally when necessary while preserving her identity. Dress her in a loose pale yellow/cream lightweight beach shirt or kurta-style top with softly wrinkled fabric. Behind her, show moving ocean water with pale foamy waves, warm sunset reflections, and a softly glowing horizon. Place large out-of-focus orange-brown fingers/hands extremely close to the lens in the foreground, partially obscuring the upper-left, left, lower-left, right, and upper-right edges so they form an irregular heart-like opening around her. The fingers must be heavily blurred from shallow depth of field and illuminated by orange sunset light. Keep the woman sharpest within the opening while the sea remains gently soft.
MIDDLE PANEL: Create an extremely tight intimate close-up of both subjects’ faces pressed closely side-by-side, cropped dramatically so only the central facial regions are visible. Position the male subject on the left and female subject on the right. Their temples/cheeks nearly touch. Crop the male so the frame includes his forehead, eyes, eyeglasses if appropriate to the reference styling, upper nose, cheeks, and only a small portion of mustache/beard near the bottom; much of his chin and lower face should fall outside the frame. Give him rectangular black/dark-framed eyeglasses matching the reference unless preserving an essential identity-specific accessory requires adjustment. His gaze points calmly toward the camera with relaxed eyes and a subtle content expression. Crop the female equally tightly, showing mainly her forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose bridge, upper cheeks, and only a hint of her smile at the bottom edge. Her eyes look slightly sideways toward the male/near the camera rather than perfectly straight ahead, with subtly raised relaxed brows and a tiny warm smile. Use warm amber/orange indoor-like sunset toning across their skin, minimal visible background, very close smartphone-style perspective, slight softness, realistic pores, and affectionate candid chemistry. Do not make this a conventional centered portrait; preserve the intentionally extreme crop.
BOTTOM PANEL: Show the male subject alone at the same beach during sunset in a medium shot from approximately mid-torso upward. Place him near the center, body angled slightly toward one side rather than square to the camera. His head is tilted downward and turned gently toward his lower left, eyes looking down rather than toward the camera. Give him a small shy closed-mouth smile, relaxed eyebrows, and a quiet reflective romantic mood. Keep his natural hairstyle/identity while matching the reference’s slightly tousled casual appearance. Use dark rectangular eyeglasses consistent with the middle panel. Dress him in a loose light beige, pale gray, or off-white collared button-up shirt with an open relaxed neckline and soft lightweight fabric. Behind him, show the ocean and glowing horizon with the setting sun creating a strong bright golden reflection across the water. Again use large blurred fingers/hands extremely close to the lens around the left, upper-left, upper-right, and right edges, creating an irregular heart-shaped opening centered around him. The fingers should appear dark orange/brown from backlighting, extremely out of focus, and partly translucent at their brightest edges.
LIGHTING AND COLOR: Reproduce intense warm golden-hour illumination with orange, amber, honey, peach, and muted beige tones. The ocean should contain soft silver-gold highlights and foamy cream-colored waves. Use sunset backlighting, gentle facial fill, mild highlight bloom, slightly faded blacks, subtle film grain, natural lens softness, and smartphone/analog snapshot character. Avoid modern blue/cyan grading, crisp commercial studio lighting, artificial HDR, excessive sharpness, plastic skin, or dramatic artificial bokeh.
CAMERA AND COMPOSITION: Vertical 3:4 final image, three horizontal strips stacked evenly from top to bottom. Top and bottom are medium beach portraits photographed roughly at eye level with a natural 35–50mm-equivalent perspective and shallow-to-moderate depth of field; the blurred foreground fingers sit only centimeters from the lens. Middle panel is an extremely close wide crop captured from very close distance with a smartphone-like perspective. Preserve the reference’s imperfect candid framing rather than making the subjects geometrically centered or overly polished.
CRITICAL EXPRESSION AND GAZE RULE: Ignore the expressions, gaze directions, and head poses in the uploaded identity photos. Top female must look back over her shoulder directly toward the camera with the reference’s gentle smile; middle couple must maintain the intimate side-by-side close-up with relaxed affectionate eyes; bottom male must look downward with the reference’s shy subtle smile. These expressions and poses must override those in the uploaded photos while the uploaded faces and identities remain unmistakably preserved.
FINAL QUALITY: Photorealistic, emotionally intimate, natural anatomy, realistic facial proportions, coherent identities across all panels, believable wet hair and fabric, accurate ocean texture, authentic sunset light, subtle vintage grain, soft nostalgic vacation-memory aesthetic. No text, captions, logos, borders, watermarks, extra people, duplicated faces, distorted hands, altered identity, face blending, mismatched skin tones, artificial beauty filters, exaggerated smiles, or unrelated objects.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
