"Cozy Rainy Balcony Couple Portrait"

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

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.
