The complete prompt
Use the uploaded user photo as the ONLY source of the primary subject’s identity. Preserve that person’s exact recognizable facial identity, facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, hair characteristics, facial hair if present, and all distinctive facial features. Do not copy the identity or facial characteristics of either person in the reference image. Do not beautify, reshape, slim, masculinize, feminize, age, de-age, or otherwise reinterpret the user’s identity. The final primary subject must unmistakably remain the person from the uploaded photo. Treat the uploaded photo as WHO the person is, while the reference image determines HOW that person appears and behaves in the scene.
Recreate the reference as a photorealistic full-body two-person fashion portrait. Place the primary user subject standing on the LEFT side of the frame, closely beside a second companion on the RIGHT. Preserve the reference’s intimate, relaxed couple-style composition and natural physical closeness. The primary subject stands upright with the torso facing generally toward the camera, shoulders relaxed, one arm hanging naturally downward with the hand near the trouser pocket/hip area, while the opposite arm is raised around the companion’s shoulders. Keep the arm placement, elbow bend, hand position, stance, weight distribution, and overall posture closely matched to the reference. The companion stands slightly angled toward the primary subject, leaning subtly inward, with both hands naturally brought together around the lower waist/front of the body. Maintain the exact relative spacing, height relationship, body orientation, and overlapping silhouettes seen in the reference.
Match the reference facial behavior precisely. The primary subject should have the calm, relaxed, mildly confident expression shown in the reference, with a subtle closed-mouth expression rather than an exaggerated smile. Reconstruct the reference’s head position with a slight natural tilt and relaxed neck posture. Match the reference gaze direction and eye openness: the primary subject looks toward the camera from beneath dark sunglasses, with a composed expression. The companion has a soft, gentle expression with a subtle closed-mouth smile, head tilted slightly toward the primary subject, and eyes directed toward the camera. Do not use the uploaded user photo’s original expression, gaze, or head angle; use only the reference for expression, emotion, gaze, and head pose while retaining the user’s identity.
Dress the primary subject in the same overall styling as the left-side reference subject: an olive/army-green casual button-up shirt with a relaxed fit, sleeves rolled to approximately the forearms, several upper buttons naturally open, paired with loose white traditional-style trousers. Add clean white low-top sneakers. Include dark rectangular sunglasses with a natural fit on the face, while keeping the underlying facial identity completely unchanged. The clothing must follow the reference’s proportions, fabric behavior, folds, draping, and relaxed contemporary South Asian fashion aesthetic.
Dress the companion in an elegant off-white/ivory traditional outfit matching the reference: a long embroidered or subtly patterned kurta/tunic with loose white wide-leg trousers, a lightweight matching dupatta/scarf draped naturally around the shoulders and sides, delicate embroidery and lace-like detailing near the hem, and a small cream/off-white shoulder handbag hanging naturally from one shoulder. Include the simple wristwatch and understated jewelry visible in the reference. Keep the companion’s styling refined, modest, soft, and natural.
Recreate the exact environment: a plain warm beige textured plaster wall occupying almost the entire background, with subtle uneven surface texture and gentle tonal variation. The subjects stand directly against the wall on a dark gray stone/tile floor with visible horizontal tile seams near the bottom of the frame. No furniture, plants, decorations, signs, text, or unnecessary objects. Keep the minimalist architectural setting clean and uncluttered.
Match the reference lighting: soft natural daylight coming from the front-left/upper-left direction, producing gentle illumination across the faces and clothing with soft, realistic shadows against the beige wall and beneath the subjects. Preserve the warm neutral color palette, natural skin tones, slightly muted fashion colors, subtle highlights on the white clothing, and realistic fabric texture. Avoid harsh studio lighting, dramatic contrast, artificial glow, excessive HDR, or oversaturated colors.
Use a vertical 4:5 composition, full-body framing from the top of the heads to the shoes, with both subjects completely visible and neither feet nor clothing cropped. Position the pair centrally with a small amount of comfortable headroom and floor visible beneath the shoes. Camera approximately at chest-to-eye level, straight-on with a very slight natural perspective, roughly equivalent to a 50mm full-frame portrait lens. Keep facial proportions and body proportions realistic; avoid wide-angle distortion. Use moderate depth of field so both people and their clothing remain sharply detailed while the simple background remains naturally soft but still visibly textured.
Preserve the reference’s casual smartphone/editorial photography character: realistic skin texture, authentic fabric wrinkles, natural hair strands, subtle imperfections, believable anatomy, accurate hands and fingers, realistic shadows, and understated color grading. The image should feel like a genuine high-quality lifestyle photograph rather than a heavily retouched fashion render.
CRITICAL IDENTITY RULE: The uploaded user photo controls ONLY the primary subject’s identity. The reference controls the primary subject’s expression, emotion, gaze, head position, body pose, clothing, accessories, composition, lighting, environment, camera perspective, and photographic style. Never let the reference replace or alter the user’s facial identity. If the user is male or female, preserve the user’s natural gender presentation and identity regardless of the reference. The second companion must remain a separate person and must not be given the user’s facial identity. Do not merge faces or facial features between the two subjects.
NEGATIVE INSTRUCTIONS: no identity replacement, no face swapping from the reference, no facial redesign, no beauty-filter face, no altered jawline, no changed nose, no changed eyes, no changed lips, no gender change, no age change, no distorted anatomy, no extra fingers, no missing fingers, no duplicated limbs, no malformed hands, no cropped feet, no cropped heads, no excessive blur, no artificial skin, no plastic texture, no exaggerated smile, no different pose, no different gaze, no dramatic background, no text, no watermark, no logos.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
