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

The complete prompt

Create a highly realistic candid photograph using the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of the subject’s identity**. Preserve the user’s exact recognizable facial identity, facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and distinctive facial characteristics. Do not copy the identity of either person in the reference image. Do not beautify, reshape, slim, age, de-age, masculinize, feminize, or reinterpret the user’s face. The user’s identity must remain unmistakably their own. Use the reference image only to determine the scene, pose, expression, gaze, clothing, composition, camera perspective, lighting, and atmosphere.
Recreate the reference as a candid couple photograph inside a modern commuter train carriage. The main user subject is seated on the right side of the frame in a blue upholstered train seat, wearing a light beige/cream hooded sweatshirt with visible drawstrings. Their upper body faces generally forward toward the camera while their head is naturally angled slightly downward and toward the smartphone held in both hands. Their expression is calm, relaxed, subtly content and absorbed in the phone, with a gentle closed-mouth expression and naturally lowered gaze toward the screen. Reproduce the exact relaxed head position and eye direction from the reference rather than using the expression or gaze from the uploaded identity photo.
A second person sits closely beside the user on the left, leaning affectionately against the user’s shoulder and upper arm. Preserve the second person as a natural companion without copying any identifiable facial identity from the reference. Their head rests gently against the user, tilted slightly toward the user, with a soft affectionate expression and relaxed eyes directed toward the camera. Their long dark hair falls naturally over the shoulder and torso. They wear a dark gray-and-black horizontal striped long-sleeve top. Their left arm rests across the user’s lower torso/arm area, with the hand naturally visible near the user’s forearm; include a subtle ring on one finger and a small white wireless earbud in the visible ear.
The user holds a modern dark-colored smartphone vertically in both hands near the lower-right/center portion of the frame, looking down at its screen. Reproduce realistic finger placement, grip, hand anatomy, and natural interaction with the phone. Their posture should be comfortable and slightly relaxed into the seat. A dark padded winter jacket is draped across the lower foreground/lap area, creating layered folds and texture.
Match the reference composition closely: vertical portrait framing, approximately 4:5 aspect ratio, camera positioned directly in front of the seated subjects at approximately eye/chest level, close-to-medium distance, with both people occupying most of the frame. The companion occupies the left half and leans inward toward the user; the user occupies the right half. Keep the train interior clearly recognizable in the background while maintaining the subjects as the primary focus. Do not make the composition overly symmetrical or studio-like.
Recreate the modern train carriage environment: blue fabric seats with small dotted patterns, pale gray/white interior panels, overhead fluorescent-style rectangular ceiling lights, luggage/ventilation fixtures, vertical poles and structural panels, windows along the side, and several softly visible passengers seated farther down the carriage. Include realistic train signage and illuminated information displays in the background as environmental details, but keep background text naturally integrated and secondary rather than making it the focal point. Preserve the sense of a real busy commuter train.
Use soft natural indoor ambient illumination mixed with cool-white overhead train lighting. Maintain realistic skin tones, gentle highlights on the faces, soft shadows, subtle reflections on the smartphone and train surfaces, and slightly warm natural color balance. The image should feel like an authentic spontaneous smartphone photograph rather than a posed professional portrait. Use realistic photographic depth of field: the two foreground subjects are sharp and detailed while distant passengers, seats, signage, and carriage details become progressively softer but remain recognizable.
Preserve realistic anatomy, natural body proportions, authentic skin texture, individual hair strands, fabric fibers, hoodie folds, jacket quilting, seat texture, and believable hand/finger details. Avoid plastic skin, excessive retouching, artificial symmetry, exaggerated bokeh, oversharpening, warped hands, duplicated fingers, distorted facial features, or AI-looking artifacts.
The final image must communicate quiet affection, comfort, companionship, and an ordinary candid moment during a train journey. Prioritize: **1) exact identity from the uploaded user photo, 2) reference facial expression, emotion, gaze and head pose, 3) reference body positioning and affectionate interaction, 4) reference composition and clothing, 5) train environment, lighting, camera perspective and photographic realism.**
