The complete prompt
Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of the main subject’s identity**. Preserve the user’s exact recognizable facial identity, facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, hair characteristics, and all distinctive facial features. Do not copy or blend the identity of either person from the reference image into the user. Do not beautify, reshape, slim, masculinize, feminize, age, de-age, or otherwise reinterpret the user’s face. The final main subject must remain unmistakably the person from the uploaded user photo. The user’s original expression, gaze, and head pose are NOT to be copied; identity comes only from the user photo, while expression, pose, styling, and scene come from the reference.
Recreate the reference image as a nostalgic vintage outdoor couple photograph at a scenic mountain viewpoint. Preserve the overall composition, proportions, framing, atmosphere, clothing style, body language, and photographic character of the reference. The main user subject stands in the foreground slightly left of center, full body visible from head to shoes, leaning casually against a weathered stone parapet. The user subject has a relaxed, elegant posture: the torso is mostly upright with a subtle natural lean, the left arm extends downward and outward with the left hand resting flat on the top edge of the stone wall, while the right arm is bent upward toward the chest/shoulder area, with the right hand lightly holding or touching the clothing near the collar/upper chest. One leg remains relatively straight while the other crosses slightly in front, creating the relaxed fashion-pose stance visible in the reference.
Position a second companion beside the user on the right, recreating the reference’s two-person arrangement and interpersonal body language without copying the companion’s identity. The companion stands very close to the user, slightly behind and to the right, with one arm naturally placed around or behind the user’s shoulder/upper back area. Their bodies should feel naturally connected and comfortable, as in a candid travel photograph. The companion’s head is turned toward the user, creating an intimate conversational gaze. The user’s head should also turn toward the companion, with the face angled slightly upward toward them. Reconstruct the reference facial behavior: a soft, calm, affectionate, slightly playful expression, relaxed eyes, natural eyebrows, gently closed or subtly parted lips, and a warm interpersonal mood. The user should look toward the companion rather than toward the camera. Do not use the expression or gaze from the uploaded source photo.
Recreate the clothing faithfully in the reference style: the main subject wears a colorful retro patterned long-sleeve button-up shirt with a vivid multicolor geometric/floral-style print, sleeves naturally rolled or pushed slightly upward, tucked into high-waisted loose magenta/pink trousers. Add a wide brown leather belt with a prominent rectangular buckle. Include small classic earrings, slim bracelets/bangles on the wrist, and simple light-colored low-profile shoes. Keep the clothing relaxed, authentic, slightly vintage, and naturally fitted to the user’s actual body proportions rather than changing the user’s physique. The companion wears a retro short-sleeve horizontal-striped polo shirt in cream/off-white with dark navy and muted burgundy stripes, tucked into high-waisted loose cream/off-white trousers with a brown leather belt and rectangular buckle, paired with white casual sneakers. Add dark aviator-style sunglasses and a classic wristwatch. Keep the companion visually secondary to the main user subject.
Set the scene on an elevated historic stone viewpoint or terrace overlooking a large mountainous valley. The foreground consists of a thick, aged stone parapet with rough weathered texture, patches of discoloration, chipped edges, and a naturally old architectural appearance. Behind the couple is a sweeping panoramic landscape: densely forested green hills descending into a valley, scattered buildings and settlements visible across the distant terrain, layered mountain ridges extending toward the horizon, and a large hazy blue-gray mountain range in the far background. Include subtle atmospheric haze that makes distant mountains progressively softer and lighter.
Frame the photograph vertically in approximately a **4:5 aspect ratio**, matching the reference’s tall portrait orientation. Use a full-body environmental portrait composition with both people completely visible from head to shoes and enough surrounding scenery to establish the mountain viewpoint. Keep the couple occupying the central-lower portion of the frame, with the main user subject slightly left and the companion slightly right. Leave visible sky and distant mountains above their heads. Include leafy tree branches entering naturally from the upper-left corner, framing the scene without obscuring the subjects.
Use an eye-level to slightly elevated camera position, approximately a 50–70mm equivalent lens perspective, producing natural human proportions with minimal distortion. Camera is positioned several meters away at approximately chest-to-eye height relative to the subjects. Keep the couple sharply detailed while the distant valley has moderate natural atmospheric softness rather than an artificial blur. Preserve realistic depth, scale, perspective, and full-body proportions.
Lighting should reproduce the reference’s warm natural daylight: soft-to-moderate sunlight coming from the upper/front side, gentle highlights on faces and clothing, natural shadows beneath arms and clothing folds, and slightly warm late-morning or afternoon tones. Avoid dramatic studio lighting, harsh flash, excessive contrast, or modern cinematic color grading. Maintain subtle faded highlights, muted vintage saturation, warm earthy tones, and slightly washed photographic colors.
Give the image the appearance of an authentic **late-20th-century vintage travel photograph**, with slightly faded colors, soft film grain, gentle texture, mild softness, subtle analog imperfections, and a naturally aged photographic print aesthetic. Include very subtle worn/aged edges around the photograph and slight film-like color variation, but keep the people and scenery clear and realistic. Avoid excessive artificial scratches, heavy damage, exaggerated grain, or cartoon effects.
The final image must look like a genuine candid travel photograph captured at this scenic mountain location, not a digitally constructed fashion shoot. Preserve realistic skin texture, natural fabric folds, believable hands and fingers, anatomically correct limbs, accurate footwear, realistic stone texture, and coherent interaction between both people. Do not add text, logos, watermarks, modern objects, vehicles, or unrelated people. Most importantly: **USER PHOTO = WHO THE MAIN PERSON IS; REFERENCE IMAGE = HOW THAT PERSON LOOKS, POSES, EXPRESSES THEMSELVES, DRESSES, AND EXISTS WITHIN THE SCENE.** Preserve the user’s identity exactly while transferring the reference’s body pose, head orientation, affectionate expression, gaze toward the companion, clothing, composition, environment, lighting, camera perspective, vintage photographic character, and overall visual mood.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
