"Cozy Rainy Balcony Couple Portrait"

The complete prompt
CRITICAL RULE #1 (read first, applies above all else): Both faces in
the output MUST be the exact same two people as the uploaded reference
photo. Do not generate new faces, do not beautify, do not idealize, do
not blend either face with a generic face. If you are unsure whether a
face matches, default to making it MORE identical to the reference,
not less.
IDENTITY LOCK (exact match required for both subjects): Match the
reference photo exactly for each person: face shape and bone structure,
eye shape/size/color/spacing, eyebrow shape, nose shape and width, lip
shape and fullness, chin and jawline shape, cheekbone structure, skin
tone and undertone, any visible marks, moles, or asymmetries. These
are not suggestions — they are hard constraints. Zero deviation
allowed for either person.
DO NOT COPY FROM REFERENCE (only these things should change): both
subjects' expressions, eye gaze directions, head angles/tilts, and
body poses should NOT match the reference photo — generate these
freshly based on the scene below. To be clear: FACE IDENTITY (both
people) = locked exactly. EXPRESSION/POSE/ANGLE (both people) = freely
generated and different from the reference.
EMOTIONAL INTENT (design goal): This should feel like a quiet, intimate
"just us two" moment — the kind of photo a couple would want to
remember a lazy rainy evening together at home. Real warmth and
comfort, not a staged glamour shoot. Both partners must look equally
flattering — neither should outshine the other.
LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light —
warm indoor lamp light from just inside the balcony door, acting as a
soft golden key from camera-right at chest height. Fill — soft cool
grey daylight from the overcast rainy sky, gently balancing the warm
key at close to a 2:1 ratio. Rim light — the rain-lit sky behind them
creates a soft cool-toned rim along both subjects' hair and shoulders.
Catchlights in both sets of eyes should be soft and warm, picking up
the indoor lamp glow.
LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/2.0 — flattering facial
compression, background rendered as soft creamy bokeh with rain-
streaked balcony glass and a blurred wet street below, gentle fall-off
in sharpness away from the focal point, faint natural vignette at the
corners.
FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Warm-cool cozy film response — lamp highlights
bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted gently with a faint
cool-grey tint rather than crushed black, warm amber midtones on both
faces held steady against the cooler rainy backdrop, natural true-to-
reference skin tones for both.
Style: Cozy, wearable loungewear — oversized sweaters or a shared
blanket wrapped around both, minimal or no makeup, natural relaxed
hair — realistic and relatable, this is about comfort, not glamour.
COUPLE BIOMECHANICS & NEW POSE (must differ from reference, face
identity unchanged for both): Sitting close together on the balcony
floor or a small bench, wrapped in one shared blanket, one partner
leaning their head on the other's shoulder, both holding warm mugs
with hands resting naturally near each other, knees gently touching,
bodies settled into each other's warmth rather than posed apart.
NEW EXPRESSION (must differ from reference, face identity unchanged
for both): A calm, quiet contentment — soft half-smiles, eyes gently
watching the rain rather than the camera, completely relaxed and at
ease, not stiff copied expressions from the reference.
RETOUCH PIPELINE: Smooth tonal transitions while fully preserving fine
pore-level texture and each reference face's exact proportions. No
flattening, no waxy skin, no facial reshaping of any kind for either
person.
FINAL VERIFICATION (mandatory self-check before output): Compare each
generated face side-by-side against its corresponding reference photo
face shape, eyes, nose, lips, and jawline. If either person's facial
features do not match their reference, discard and regenerate that
face to match exactly — only expression, pose, and angle are allowed
to differ for both.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
