Romantic Garden Couple Portrait
Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.
The complete prompt
Use the uploaded personal photo as the **ONLY source of the subject’s identity** and use the provided reference image strictly as the visual blueprint for the scene, pose, expression, styling, composition, and environment. Preserve the uploaded person’s exact recognizable identity: facial structure, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, chin, natural skin tone and texture, hairline, distinctive facial characteristics, and natural proportions. Do not copy the identity of either person in the reference image, do not blend identities, and do not beautify, redesign, slim, age, de-age, masculinize, feminize, or otherwise alter the uploaded person’s identity. The uploaded photo determines WHO the subject is; the reference determines HOW the subject appears and behaves in the scene.
Recreate the reference as a realistic, high-end outdoor couple portrait in a sunlit garden walkway beside a tall white stucco/plastered wall. Match the reference composition closely: a full-body vertical photograph with two people standing close together, occupying the central-left portion of the frame, with the white wall running diagonally along the left side and a bright leafy garden extending into the background on the right. Preserve the same overall framing, body scale, camera distance, perspective, spacing, and visual balance. Use a vertical 2:3 portrait aspect ratio.
The primary identity subject should adopt the exact body posture and physical positioning of the corresponding person in the reference. The person stands relaxed against/near the white wall with the upper back and shoulder close to it, torso facing generally toward the camera, shoulders relaxed. One hand rests naturally inside the trouser pocket while the opposite arm is positioned around the companion’s shoulders/upper back in an affectionate, protective pose. The legs are naturally crossed at the ankles, with one leg extending slightly forward and the polished shoe visible near the bottom of the frame. Keep the exact relaxed posture, arm placement, hand position, shoulder angle, hip position, leg crossing, and overall silhouette from the reference.
The companion should remain positioned immediately beside the primary subject, leaning comfortably into them. One hand rests naturally against the primary subject’s chest/upper arm area, while the other arm and hand follow the reference composition naturally. Preserve the affectionate closeness and relaxed romantic body language without changing the identity of the uploaded person.
Match the reference facial behavior precisely. The primary subject has a calm, confident, relaxed expression with a subtle neutral/soft expression, lips naturally closed, relaxed eyebrows, and a composed gaze directed toward the camera. The head is held slightly angled/tilted in the same manner as the reference, with the face turned toward the camera while maintaining the same relaxed posture. Do NOT transfer the expression from the uploaded identity photo; reconstruct the reference expression on the uploaded identity.
The companion has a bright, genuine, warm smile directed toward the camera, with naturally raised cheeks, relaxed eyes, and a cheerful affectionate expression. Preserve the same head tilt, face orientation, eye openness, eyebrow position, mouth shape, smile intensity, and gaze direction visible in the reference. Both subjects should appear naturally engaged with the camera rather than looking elsewhere.
Wardrobe must closely reproduce the reference styling. The primary subject wears a sophisticated all-black formal/semi-formal outfit: black tailored blazer, black button-up shirt underneath with the upper buttons naturally open, black tailored trousers, a simple dark belt with a metallic rectangular buckle, and polished black leather dress shoes. Preserve the clean fitted silhouette, fabric appearance, collar arrangement, blazer structure, and understated elegant styling.
The companion wears a deep emerald/dark forest-green traditional South Asian saree with a sheer flowing fabric, intricate silver/cream floral embroidery and an ornate embroidered border. The saree drapes naturally from the shoulder down to the floor with realistic folds and translucency. Include matching green bangles on the wrist and elegant traditional silver jhumka-style earrings. Preserve the delicate floral embroidery, decorative border, fabric texture, draping pattern, jewelry placement, and overall refined festive appearance. If the uploaded identity belongs to the person represented by the companion, preserve that identity exactly while applying this styling; if it belongs to the person represented by the primary subject, preserve that identity exactly and apply the black formal styling. Never change gender or identity merely to imitate the reference.
Set the scene in a beautiful sunlit residential/garden pathway. The left side contains a tall warm-white textured wall covered with green climbing vines and leaves. Behind and above the subjects are dense green foliage with numerous small vivid pink/magenta flowers. The right side opens into a softly blurred garden walkway with additional plants, trees, pale architectural elements, and patches of sunlight. Include subtle fallen pink flower petals and leaves on the paved ground. Maintain the same peaceful, romantic, elegant garden atmosphere.
Lighting should closely match the reference: warm natural late-morning/afternoon sunlight coming from the upper/right side, creating soft highlights on faces, hair, clothing, wall, and foliage while producing gentle natural shadows. Preserve the beautiful dappled sunlight filtering through leaves, with subtle highlights and shadow patterns on the white wall and ground. Skin should remain naturally rendered with realistic texture and accurate tones, never overly smooth or plastic.
Use a professional full-frame portrait-camera perspective at approximately eye level, with a natural short-telephoto portrait perspective around 50–70mm equivalent. Keep the camera far enough away to capture both subjects from head to feet while retaining intimate visual presence. Avoid wide-angle distortion. Maintain the same vertical framing, slightly elevated natural perspective, subject placement, and visible ground area as the reference.
Use realistic shallow-to-moderate depth of field: both primary subjects remain sharp and highly detailed, while the distant foliage, flowers, pathway, and architecture gradually fall into a soft creamy blur. Preserve realistic optical bokeh and natural background separation without excessive artificial blur. Fine details such as hair strands, eyelashes, fabric embroidery, jewelry, clothing texture, leather shoes, leaves, flower petals, and wall texture should remain photorealistic.
The final image should look like an authentic professionally photographed couple portrait, not an AI illustration. Use natural skin texture, realistic anatomy, accurate hands and fingers, physically correct clothing folds, believable contact between arms and bodies, realistic shadows, consistent sunlight, natural hair strands, and accurate proportions. Do not add extra people, extra limbs, duplicated fingers, distorted hands, artificial facial features, text, logos, watermarks, or unrelated objects.
Most importantly: **USER PHOTO = IDENTITY ONLY. REFERENCE IMAGE = EXPRESSION, EMOTION, GAZE, HEAD POSE, BODY POSE, CLOTHING, COMPOSITION, LIGHTING, ENVIRONMENT, CAMERA, AND STYLE.** Preserve the uploaded person’s identity exactly while reconstructing the reference image’s visual behavior and photographic composition as faithfully as possible.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
