Close-Up Selfie of a Cute Young Couple Posing Together

The complete prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the ONLY source of the primary subject’s identity. Preserve that person’s recognizable facial identity exactly: facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and distinctive features. Do not make the primary subject resemble, morph into, or borrow the identity of anyone in the reference. Do not beautify, redesign, feminize, masculinize, age, de-age, or otherwise alter the identity. The uploaded person remains the same person regardless of their gender, appearance, or original expression. Treat the reference image strictly as a guide for pose, expression, gaze, composition, clothing, lighting, environment, and photographic style.
Recreate the reference as a candid, intimate close-up two-person selfie photographed indoors at night. The primary subject is positioned in the foreground, occupying most of the left and lower portion of the frame, with their face turned slightly toward the companion and pressed very close against the companion’s cheek. Their head is tilted subtly toward the companion. Their eyes are gently closed, with relaxed eyelids and a playful, contented expression; cheeks slightly raised, lips softly closed in a small natural smile/smirk. Do NOT copy the expression or gaze from the uploaded identity photo; reconstruct this exact reference expression on the uploaded person’s face. Their attention is toward the companion rather than the camera. One arm extends forward and diagonally across the lower-right foreground as if holding the phone/camera for the selfie, creating the visible sleeve/arm sweep across the bottom of the composition.
Place a second companion immediately behind and to the right of the primary subject, very close to their face. The companion has a youthful masculine presentation, dark tousled curly hair, and wears a dark/black top; treat this companion as a generic non-identifiable person and do not reproduce any recognizable real-person identity. Their head is upright with a slight lean toward the primary subject. Their eyes are open and directed toward the camera lens with a mildly playful, pouty expression: lips pushed forward slightly in a subtle kiss/pout, relaxed eyebrows, neutral-to-playful demeanor. Their face is partially overlapped by the primary subject’s face and hair, emphasizing the intimate proximity of the two subjects.
Composition: vertical portrait orientation, approximately 4:5 aspect ratio. Extremely close camera distance, handheld smartphone front-camera selfie perspective, roughly eye-level with the subjects and slightly below the upper subject’s eye line. The primary subject’s face is dominant in the left foreground; the companion’s face occupies the upper-right/central-right area. Their faces nearly touch and overlap visually. Crop tightly around both heads, shoulders, and the primary subject’s extended arm; do not show full bodies or legs. Keep the framing casual and slightly imperfect rather than studio-symmetrical.
Clothing and styling should follow the reference composition: primary subject in a dark/black outfit with a semi-sheer or lightweight dark sleeve visible along the extended arm; subtle dangling/sparkling earrings if compatible with the reference styling, while preserving the uploaded person’s identity. Companion in a plain dark/black top. Keep hair natural and slightly tousled; adapt the reference hairstyle only as styling, never as an alteration of the uploaded person’s identity-defining hairline or facial characteristics.
Environment: dim indoor nighttime setting with a dark, indistinct background. A dark doorway or wall is faintly visible toward the upper-left, with mostly deep brown-black and charcoal tones behind the subjects. No prominent objects, text, decorations, or recognizable location. The background should remain subdued and unobtrusive.
Lighting: direct on-camera smartphone flash in a dark room, producing bright illumination on the faces against the darker background. Preserve realistic flash falloff, soft-to-moderate facial shadows, subtle highlights on skin and hair, and natural contrast. The primary subject’s face should be clearly illuminated, while the background and outer edges fall into darkness. Maintain realistic skin texture rather than airbrushing. Slight flash sheen and natural photographic imperfections are desirable.
Camera/rendering: realistic modern smartphone photograph, close focal perspective approximately equivalent to a 24–28mm full-frame lens, shallow-to-moderate depth of field with the faces sharply readable and the background softly subdued. Natural perspective distortion consistent with a close selfie, realistic proportions, authentic skin texture, subtle digital noise, slight low-light grain, and unretouched candid-photo character. No cinematic color grading, no glamour retouching, no artificial bokeh, no illustration or painting aesthetics.
CRITICAL IDENTITY/EXPRESSION SEPARATION: uploaded photo = WHO the primary subject is; reference image = HOW the primary subject poses, looks, gazes, expresses emotion, dresses, and interacts with the companion. Preserve the uploaded person’s identity while reconstructing the reference’s closed-eye playful expression, slight smile, head tilt, cheek-to-cheek proximity, body orientation, extended-arm selfie pose, and exact framing. Never transfer the reference person’s facial identity onto the uploaded subject. Do not use the uploaded photo’s original facial expression, gaze, head angle, or pose.
Final image should look like an authentic spontaneous close-range smartphone selfie captured with direct flash: intimate, playful, slightly messy, dark indoor atmosphere, natural skin and hair detail, faithful pose and composition, with the uploaded person unmistakably recognizable as themselves.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
