The complete prompt

AUTHENTIC 1990s COUPLE PHOTOGRAPH — IDENTITY LOCKED

Create a realistic early-to-mid 1990s photograph using the uploaded photos as the EXACT identity references for both people. Preserve their exact facial structure, face shape, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, natural features and body proportions. Do not beautify, redesign, age, slim, enlarge, or replace either person.

COMPOSITION:
Create a completely different natural pose from the reference. The couple is seated closely together at a relaxed indoor social gathering. The man sits slightly behind and to the left, turned toward the woman with a genuine warm smile. The woman sits beside him, leaning slightly toward him while laughing naturally, with one hand resting casually near her face. Their shoulders are close but the pose feels spontaneous rather than staged. Capture them from a slightly close, eye-level perspective with natural candid body positioning.

1990s FASHION:
The man wears a charcoal-gray oversized 1990s blazer over a simple black crew-neck shirt, with relaxed dark trousers. Short, naturally styled dark hair with a subtle 1990s finish and realistic facial hair.

The woman wears an elegant minimalist white 1990s slip-style dress with thin shoulder straps and a softly fitted silhouette. Her dark hair is pulled back into a simple low ponytail. Add long delicate silver drop earrings and a simple silver bracelet. Makeup is natural and understated, typical of a 1990s formal evening photograph.

SETTING:
A realistic 1990s indoor evening event with softly blurred people and dark neutral architectural surroundings in the background. Subtle warm ambient lighting and shallow depth of field. The background should feel like a real wedding, reception or formal social gathering from the 1990s.

PHOTOGRAPHIC CHARACTER:
Make it look like an actual photograph taken in the 1990s on a consumer/professional 35mm film camera, not a modern image with a retro filter. Slightly warm neutral color balance, modest saturation, gentle contrast, natural skin tones, soft highlights, subtle analog grain and mild optical softness. Preserve facial detail while avoiding modern ultra-sharp digital clarity.

OLD PHOTO FEEL:
Slightly faded colors, fine film grain, tiny natural photographic imperfections, mild softness and subtle aging. The image should feel like a genuine photograph taken in the 1990s and later preserved in a family photo album.

Keep the image realistic and moderately soft — recognizable details but not perfectly crisp.

NEGATIVE:
No modern fashion, smartphones, modern hairstyles, contemporary photography, HDR, ultra-sharp DSLR look, excessive bokeh, plastic skin, beauty filter, artificial glow, excessive saturation, heavy sepia, CGI, illustration, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, altered facial identity, altered body proportions, or duplicated people.

PRIORITY:
EXACT IDENTITY + EXACT FACIAL STRUCTURE + EXACT BODY PROPORTIONS first.
1990s authenticity second.
Natural candid pose and realistic photography third.
