Cozy Café Couple Portrait
Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.
The complete prompt
Use the uploaded user photo as the ONLY source of the primary subject’s identity. Preserve the person’s exact recognizable facial identity, facial structure, proportions, skin tone, natural skin texture, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, hairline, and other distinctive features. Do not copy, blend, replace, beautify, redesign, or reinterpret the identity from the reference image. The user’s gender and identity must remain unchanged even if they differ from the reference subject. The user’s original facial expression, gaze, and head position must NOT be transferred from their source photo; use the reference image only for expression, gaze, pose, styling, composition, environment, and visual behavior. Recreate the reference photograph as closely as possible: a warm, intimate lifestyle café portrait showing the primary subject seated on the left side of a small wooden table, positioned very close beside a second companion. The primary subject has an upright relaxed seated posture, shoulders angled slightly toward the companion, torso facing generally toward the camera but turned toward the companion, with the head rotated noticeably toward the companion and the eyes looking directly toward the companion’s face rather than toward the camera. Reproduce the same calm, gentle, affectionate, slightly thoughtful expression visible in the reference: relaxed eyes, naturally lowered/soft eyebrows, closed relaxed lips with a subtle soft expression, no broad smile, no exaggerated emotion. Match the reference head tilt, neck position, facial orientation, eye direction, and degree of eye openness precisely. Reconstruct the primary subject’s body position and arm placement according to the reference, including the relaxed seated posture and natural proximity to the companion. Clothing should follow the reference styling: a light beige/tan casual overshirt or lightweight jacket worn open over a plain white crew-neck shirt, with natural fabric folds and realistic layering. Preserve the user’s own hair identity and natural hair characteristics while arranging the hairstyle naturally to suit the reference silhouette without altering their recognizable features. Beside the primary subject, include a second companion positioned on the right, leaning slightly toward the primary subject with a relaxed seated posture. The companion rests one side of the face gently against one hand, with the elbow supported near the table, and looks upward/sideways toward the primary subject with a soft, affectionate, contemplative expression. Do not reproduce or identify the companion as the real person in the reference; create only a generic supporting person whose appearance is subordinate to the user’s identity. Dress the companion in a cozy light beige/cream knitted sweater with a brown/taupe knit beret or soft textured cap, with long natural dark hair falling around the shoulders. Recreate the intimate couple-like composition and interpersonal body language without changing the primary subject’s identity. The setting is a cozy modern café or restaurant with large floor-to-ceiling glass windows behind the subjects, warm indoor lighting, softly visible architectural details, plants, tables, chairs, and blurred café décor in the background. Through the glass, show softly illuminated outdoor/urban elements and warm daylight filtering through trees or nearby buildings. Place a disposable takeaway coffee cup with a dark lid prominently on the wooden tabletop in the lower foreground, slightly left of center, and include a softly blurred small green plant/floral arrangement at the lower-left edge. Keep the wooden tabletop visible across the bottom portion of the image. Composition should closely match the reference: vertical portrait orientation, approximately 4:5 aspect ratio, medium shot cropped around the upper torso and arms, both subjects filling most of the frame, primary subject occupying the left half and companion occupying the right half, with their heads positioned near the upper-middle area. Camera should be at approximately eye level with the subjects, relatively close, using a natural portrait perspective equivalent to roughly 50–70mm, avoiding wide-angle distortion. Maintain realistic proportions and natural spatial depth. The background must be softly defocused with shallow-to-moderate depth of field while both faces remain clear and detailed. Use warm golden-beige café tones, soft natural window light mixed with gentle warm interior illumination, subtle highlights on the hair and skin, soft shadows, realistic reflections in the glass, and smooth tonal transitions. Reproduce the reference’s cozy, romantic, candid lifestyle-photography atmosphere: natural, slightly soft photographic rendering, realistic skin texture, authentic fabric detail, subtle background bokeh, gentle warmth, and an unposed candid feeling. Do not make the image look like an illustration, CGI render, plastic beauty retouch, fashion editorial, or overly cinematic scene. Preserve realistic anatomy, hands, fingers, facial proportions, clothing folds, object placement, lighting direction, depth, and perspective. Do not copy the reference person’s identity or facial characteristics. The final image must unmistakably preserve the uploaded user’s identity while making that person behave, look, gaze, pose, and express emotion according to the reference photograph.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
