The complete prompt
IDENTITY LOCK: Do not change either subject's facial bone structure,
eye shape and color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, or skin tone in
any way — keep both 100% identical to the original uploaded photo.
Body build and proportions unchanged for both individuals. Non-
negotiable.
DO NOT COPY FROM REFERENCE: This is a full re-render, not a direct
edit of the original photo. Only carry over the facial identity (bone
structure, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone) for both subjects
from the reference photo — do NOT copy the original photo's
expressions, eye gaze direction, head angles/tilts, or body poses.
Treat expression and pose as completely open and generate them fresh
based on the scene described below, not based on what the reference
photo shows.
LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light —
low golden-hour sun over the ancient boulder-strewn ruins of Hampi,
acting as a strong warm backlight from directly behind at a low angle.
Fill — soft ambient light bouncing off the sun-baked stone ruins,
gently lifting shadows on both faces at roughly a 2:1 ratio so they
don't go silhouette-dark. Rim light — the low sun creates a bright
golden rim along both subjects' hair and shoulder edges. Catchlights
in both sets of eyes should be warm and soft.
LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/1.8 — flattering facial
compression, background rendered as a soft dreamy wash of golden
bokeh from ancient temple pillars and giant boulders, gentle fall-off
in sharpness away from the focal point, faint natural vignette at the
corners.
FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Warm ancient-heritage film response — sunset
highlights bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted gently
with a warm stone-dust tint rather than crushed black, rich amber-
gold midtones throughout, both skin tones staying natural and true
against the glowing ruins.
Style: Coordinated earthy-toned travel outfits — the woman in a
flowing cotton dress or kurta in rust or mustard, the man in a linen
shirt in a complementary earthy shade, both looking relaxed and
sun-kissed.
COUPLE BIOMECHANICS (real physical interlock, not a generic pose):
Sitting together on a large ancient stone boulder, one partner's arm
wrapped around the other's shoulder, free hands resting naturally on
the warm stone between them with relaxed finger placement. Bodies
leaning into each other, one partner's head resting gently on the
other's shoulder, weight settled together as two real people relaxing
after a day of exploring would — freshly generated for this scene,
not matching the reference photo's original poses.
EXPRESSION: A quiet, content closeness — soft gazes toward the ancient
ruins in the distance rather than the camera, gentle genuine smiles
with the corners of both mouths lifted slightly and asymmetrically,
shoulders relaxed from the day's journey — freshly generated, not
copied from the reference photo's expressions.
RETOUCH PIPELINE: Frequency-separation-style retouching — smooth
tonal transitions on skin while fully preserving fine pore-level
texture and natural color variation under the strong backlight.
Subtle dodge-and-burn to retain natural facial planes for both
subjects, no flattened or washed-out glow.
FINISHING: Fine film grain overlay at low opacity, very slight
chromatic softness at the frame edges as a real lens would render, no
digital sharpening halos, natural imperfect crop as if not perfectly
composed in-camera.
Ensure zero facial distortion, anatomically correct hands with
natural finger placement for both subjects, and consistent backlit
shadow direction across both people and the ancient ruins.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
