The complete prompt
Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of the final subject’s identity and facial appearance**. Preserve that person’s exact recognizable facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, hairline, eyebrows, natural eye shape, nose, lips, mouth structure, jawline, cheeks, cheekbones, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hair characteristics, 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 face. The user’s identity must remain unmistakably recognizable. Treat the user photo as WHO THE PERSON IS, while this reference image determines HOW that person appears and behaves in the scene.
Recreate the reference photograph as accurately as possible: a vertical, realistic indoor mirror-selfie of a young couple standing closely together in front of a large wall mirror. Preserve the intimate, relaxed couple composition and the full-body framing from approximately head to below the knees/near the lower legs. The primary foreground subject stands slightly right of center and holds a smartphone vertically in the raised right hand directly in front of the mirror, partially covering the right side of the face. The second subject stands closely behind and to the left, slightly offset backward, with their upper body leaning naturally toward the foreground subject. Maintain the same overlapping arrangement, scale relationship, proximity, and casual candid appearance.
The foreground subject’s pose must match the reference precisely: torso facing generally toward the mirror/camera, shoulders relaxed, head turned slightly toward the left side of the frame, chin naturally positioned, with a soft, calm, subtly affectionate expression. Eyes should look toward the phone/mirror area rather than directly into the camera, matching the reference gaze. Reconstruct the same gentle closed-mouth/slight-smile expression, relaxed eyebrows, natural eyelid openness, and facial muscle tension. The raised right arm holds the smartphone near face level; the wrist and fingers wrap naturally around the phone. The opposite arm crosses casually in front of the waist, with the hand resting over the draped fabric around the midsection. Preserve the natural hand placement and relaxed fingers.
The background subject stands close behind the foreground subject’s left shoulder, with the body mostly facing the mirror but the head turned toward the foreground subject. Reproduce the affectionate sideways glance toward the foreground subject, with a soft subtle smile and relaxed expression. Keep the head slightly lowered/angled toward the other person and preserve the same intimate body positioning without changing the user’s identity. If the uploaded user photo represents either subject, apply that identity only to that subject while keeping every other visible person’s identity distinct and generic.
Recreate the clothing and styling shown: the foreground subject wears an elegant cream/off-white traditional South Asian saree with a warm golden-yellow tint and subtle woven texture, a translucent/lightweight drape crossing the upper torso, delicate gold-toned border detailing, and layered pleats falling vertically down the front. The saree should look naturally wrapped and realistically folded, with soft fabric translucency and fine textile texture. Include the visible gold-toned bangles/bracelets on the raised wrist and small traditional earrings. The second subject wears a dark navy/black long-sleeve button-up shirt with the sleeves casually rolled to around the forearms and loose white traditional trousers, maintaining the same simple understated styling. Clothing should follow the reference’s proportions, folds, colors, and natural fit.
The smartphone must be visible in the raised hand as a modern vertically oriented phone with a light-colored protective case featuring a decorative patterned design similar to the reference. The phone partially obscures the foreground subject’s face in the same location and orientation. Preserve realistic reflections and the phone’s physical scale. Do not add text, logos, watermarks, or unrelated objects.
Recreate the environment exactly: an indoor mirror selfie taken against a large textured gray-brown wall with a soft mottled stone/concrete-like surface. Behind the subjects is dark gray decorative wall paneling/wainscoting with rectangular recessed molding, extending horizontally across the lower portion of the wall. The lower edge of the scene includes a dark polished floor/baseboard area with subtle reflective marble-like texture. Keep the background simple, elegant, muted, and uncluttered.
Lighting should match the reference: warm indoor ambient illumination coming primarily from above/front, producing soft highlights on the faces, hair, saree fabric, phone, and wall while retaining gentle natural shadows beneath the chin, around the clothing folds, and behind the subjects. The cream/gold saree should catch warm light with subtle luminous highlights. Preserve realistic skin tones, natural contrast, and the slightly warm color temperature of the original photograph.
Camera perspective must imitate a real handheld smartphone mirror selfie: vertical portrait orientation, approximately 4:5 to 3:5 framing, camera positioned around chest-to-eye level and relatively close to the subjects, with a natural smartphone wide/standard lens perspective and minimal distortion. The mirror reflection should remain physically coherent: body proportions, phone position, hand placement, gaze, reflections, and clothing folds must all align correctly. Keep the subjects large in frame, with the entire upper bodies and most of the clothing visible, while maintaining the same amount of surrounding wall and lower background as the reference.
Photorealistic photography, authentic smartphone-camera quality, realistic skin pores and fine facial details, natural hair strands, physically accurate fabric texture, believable hands and fingers, realistic mirror reflections, subtle depth, soft indoor shadows, warm muted tones, candid social-media photograph aesthetic. Do not make it look like a studio portrait, fashion campaign, painting, illustration, CGI, or artificial AI-generated image.
CRITICAL IDENTITY/EXPRESSION RULE: the uploaded user photo determines ONLY WHO the person is. The reference determines the facial expression, emotion, gaze direction, head rotation, head tilt, body posture, hand positions, clothing, environment, lighting, framing, and photographic style. Never transfer the reference person’s identity onto the user. Never allow the user source photo’s original expression, gaze, or pose to override the reference. The final result must preserve the user’s exact recognizable identity while reproducing this reference image’s intimate mirror-selfie composition, relaxed expressions, affectionate interaction, clothing, pose, lighting, environment, and overall visual appearance as faithfully as possible.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
