Written for Gemini. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.

The complete prompt

Create an ultra-realistic vertical 9:16 portrait that looks like a genuine Indian photograph captured and printed in the 1980s.

MOST IMPORTANT REFERENCE RULE:
Use the supplied reference image as the visual composition reference.

CHANGE ONLY THE PERSON'S FACE/IDENTITY.

Preserve as closely as possible:
- hairstyle
- aviator sunglasses
- facial-hair styling
- denim jacket
- cream striped inner shirt
- red paisley neck scarf
- jeans
- brown leather belt
- cigarette placement
- seated pose
- crossed legs
- hand positions
- body proportions
- motorcycle placement
- roadside setting
- old vehicle in background
- wall and Hindi writing
- camera angle
- framing
- lighting
- vintage colours
- analog texture

Do NOT redesign the outfit or pose.

IDENTITY:
Replace the reference face with a completely fresh fictional young Indian male identity, approximately 21–26 years old.

The new person must have:
- clearly different facial structure from the reference
- attractive photogenic Indian appearance
- warm natural wheatish/medium Indian skin
- defined but youthful jawline
- proportionate nose
- natural lips
- realistic facial proportions
- subtle moustache and light stubble
- natural pores and skin texture

Do not resemble any celebrity, influencer or known person.

FACE INTEGRATION:
The new face must look as though it was genuinely photographed in the original scene.

Match:
- original head orientation
- sunlight direction
- shadow placement
- skin exposure
- analog colour response
- film grain
- lens softness
- photographic ageing

Absolutely no obvious face-swap appearance.

HAIR:
Preserve the same retro hairstyle from the reference:
- thick dark black hair
- medium length
- naturally voluminous
- slightly messy side-swept styling
- fuller sides/back
- authentic 1980s masculine hairstyle

SUNGLASSES:
Preserve classic metal-frame dark aviator sunglasses.

Use:
- thin metallic frame
- dark brown/black tinted lenses
- realistic subtle reflections
- authentic 1980s styling

CLOTHING:

JACKET:
Preserve the vintage faded blue denim trucker jacket.

Details:
- authentic heavy denim
- strong faded/stonewashed appearance
- oversized retro silhouette
- large pointed collar
- metal buttons
- chest pockets
- sleeves rolled toward elbows
- visible stitching
- naturally worn edges

INNER TOP:
Preserve the cream/off-white vintage V-neck knit/shirt.

Include the same simple horizontal retro stripe combination across the chest:
- dark navy/blue
- muted red

Keep the fabric slightly aged and naturally textured.

SCARF:
Preserve the red/burgundy paisley scarf tied loosely around the neck.

Include:
- authentic small paisley pattern
- faded red base
- cream and muted detailing
- casual loose knot
- ends hanging naturally over the chest

BOTTOM:
Preserve dark washed high-waisted blue jeans.

Include:
- vintage denim texture
- relaxed 1980s silhouette
- realistic folds
- brown leather belt
- rectangular vintage metal buckle

POSE:
Preserve the same relaxed motorcycle pose.

The man sits casually sideways against/on a vintage motorcycle.

- legs crossed naturally
- one arm relaxed downward beside the motorcycle
- opposite elbow raised
- raised hand positioned near the face
- cigarette held naturally between fingers
- shoulders relaxed
- torso facing mostly toward camera
- head upright
- confident relaxed expression

Do not substantially alter hand placement or body posture.

MOTORCYCLE:
Preserve the classic black vintage Yamaha-style motorcycle appearance.

Show prominently:
- round chrome headlight
- orange rectangular indicator
- black fuel tank
- thin retro red/white pinstriping
- chrome handlebars
- authentic mechanical components
- aged metal reflections

The motorcycle should look genuinely period-correct rather than like a modern retro motorcycle.

ENVIRONMENT:
Create an authentic late-1980s Indian roadside environment.

Include:
- weathered roadside building/wall
- aged cream/yellow plaster
- faded blue paint near lower sections
- old Hindi hand-painted writing
- dusty roadside atmosphere
- mature trees
- softly blurred vegetation
- old boxy Indian vehicle parked in background

No modern cars.
No smartphones.
No LED boards.
No contemporary architecture.

LIGHTING:
Warm natural Indian afternoon sunlight.

Use:
- slightly harsh but beautiful period-style daylight
- warm highlights on face
- realistic shadows under jaw
- sunlight on denim
- metallic reflections on motorcycle
- natural highlights on sunglasses
- warm dusty background atmosphere

80s ANALOG CHARACTER:
This must look like an ACTUAL old photograph, not a modern AI portrait with a retro filter.

Simulate authentic 35mm colour-negative film and aged photographic print.

Include:
- strong but organic fine film grain
- slightly faded colour reproduction
- warm amber/yellow cast
- slightly lifted blacks
- soft contrast
- muted saturation
- creamy highlights
- gentle highlight halation
- slight vintage lens softness
- subtle colour shifts
- minor exposure inconsistencies
- tiny dust particles
- fine hairline scratches
- subtle print stains
- tiny emulsion imperfections
- mild fading caused by age

Keep the face clearly visible and naturally detailed underneath the film texture.

OLD PHOTO BORDER:
Add a clearly visible aged photographic-paper border around all four sides.

Include:
- distressed cream edges
- worn corners
- small cracks
- tiny scratches
- faded brown marks
- irregular print edges
- occasional peeling/emulsion damage

Most physical damage should remain around the borders rather than covering the face.

COLOR PALETTE:
faded indigo denim,
aged cream,
dusty burgundy red,
warm brown,
muted blue,
sun-faded beige,
soft olive green,
warm Indian sunlight.

Avoid modern teal-orange grading, neon colours and excessive saturation.

CAMERA:
Authentic 1980s 35mm film camera appearance
50mm vintage prime lens
f/2.8–f/4
ISO 200 colour-negative film
natural daylight
period-correct optical softness

COMPOSITION:
Vertical medium/three-quarter portrait.

Keep the subject dominant in the frame.

Include:
- full hairstyle
- sunglasses
- complete scarf
- both arms/hands where visible
- crossed legs
- significant portion of motorcycle
- old wall
- Hindi writing
- vintage vehicle in background

BACKGROUND:
Use moderate optical depth of field.

Background should be naturally soft but recognizable.

Do NOT use modern smartphone portrait-mode blur.

CIGARETTE:
Preserve the small cigarette held near the face because it is part of the reference composition.

Keep it understated and realistic, without glamourising or emphasizing smoking.

IMAGE QUALITY:
High-resolution scanned vintage photograph,
realistic Indian skin,
natural facial texture,
realistic hair,
authentic denim fibres,
accurate hands,
five natural fingers,
realistic sunglasses,
detailed paisley scarf,
period-correct motorcycle,
organic film grain,
realistic print ageing.

REMOVE:
Instagram/Facebook story interface,
username,
music sticker,
reaction buttons,
likes,
comments,
phone status bar,
modern UI,
watermarks,
random modern branding.

NEGATIVE PROMPT:
same face as reference, copied identity, celebrity resemblance, different clothing, different hairstyle, different pose, different scarf, missing sunglasses, modern fashion, modern motorcycle, modern vehicle, smartphone, tattoos, plastic skin, beauty-filter face, face-swap artifacts, mismatched skin lighting, malformed hands, extra fingers, duplicate limbs, distorted motorcycle, neon colours, modern HDR, fake film filter, excessive blur, extreme bokeh, CGI, 3D render, illustration, cartoon, social-media UI.

FINAL RESULT:
A convincing old 1980s Indian photograph of a handsome fictional young Indian man casually sitting with a vintage black motorcycle on a dusty roadside. Preserve the original voluminous retro hairstyle, aviator sunglasses, faded denim jacket, cream striped inner shirt, burgundy paisley neck scarf, dark jeans, brown belt, cigarette, crossed-leg pose and hand positions. Replace only the face with a completely fresh fictional Indian identity. A weathered Hindi-painted wall and old boxy vehicle remain in the background. Warm sunlight, faded colours, authentic 35mm grain, analog softness, dust, fine scratches and heavily aged photographic-paper borders should make the result look genuinely photographed and printed in the 1980s.
