The complete prompt
Use the uploaded user photo as the ONLY source of the primary subject’s identity. Preserve the person’s exact recognizable facial identity, including 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 features. Do not copy the reference person’s identity or facial characteristics. Do not beautify, reshape, slim, masculinize, feminize, age, de-age, or reinterpret the user’s face. The user’s natural gender and identity must remain unchanged. The reference image controls ONLY the scene, pose, expression, gaze, head position, styling, composition, environment, lighting, and photographic treatment. Recreate the reference as a warm, intimate indoor lifestyle photograph: the primary subject is reclining diagonally across a seated companion’s lap on a cozy sofa/bed, with the upper body leaning backward and the head resting near the companion’s lap, creating the same relaxed romantic composition. The primary subject’s torso faces generally upward and slightly toward the camera while the head is tilted back and rotated toward the companion. One arm rests naturally across the torso/abdomen, while the other arm follows a relaxed position along the body. The legs extend toward the lower-right foreground, with the lower body partially cropped by the frame. Reproduce the exact relaxed posture, body angles, limb placement, head tilt, neck position, and spatial relationship between both people. The companion sits upright behind the primary subject, supporting the head comfortably with one hand placed gently in the hair/head area. The companion’s other arm rests naturally around the scene. Preserve the reference’s affectionate, peaceful interaction without changing the identity of the uploaded user. The primary subject’s facial expression must come from the reference rather than the source photo: relaxed, affectionate, slightly dreamy, with softly parted lips and a calm expression. The eyes are directed upward toward the seated companion rather than toward the camera; reproduce the same upward gaze, eyelid openness, eyebrow position, mouth position, and head rotation. The companion looks downward toward the primary subject with a gentle, warm smile and affectionate expression. Do not allow the uploaded photo’s original expression or gaze to override the reference expression. Dress the primary subject in a loose black long-sleeve casual shirt with a few upper buttons naturally open, paired with light cream/off-white trousers. Keep the clothing fit, folds, wrinkles, sleeve length, collar, button placement, and relaxed styling faithful to the reference while allowing the user’s identity to remain unchanged. Dress the seated companion in a light cream/white traditional outfit with delicate blue floral block-print patterns, including a flowing dupatta draped naturally around the shoulders and across the lap. Add a small delicate pendant necklace and subtle earrings. The setting is a cozy warmly lit bedroom/lounge corner with a deep blue upholstered sofa or cushioned seating, layered blue-and-white floral textiles, and soft cream bedding/fabric. Place a small wooden side table in the lower-left foreground holding stacked books, a ceramic mug with the visible words “Good Vibes Only” and a small heart symbol, and a small glowing candle. Behind the subjects, create a warm beige/cream wall decorated with several small framed or pinned sunset photographs and a handwritten-style paper note reading “Better Together” with a small heart underneath. Include wooden shelving on the right side containing books, small potted plants, decorative objects, and a glowing perforated lantern/candle holder. Add a hanging green trailing plant near the left window and another leafy plant around the shelving area. A softly patterned sheer curtain covers the left window, allowing golden late-afternoon sunlight to stream into the room. Use warm golden-hour illumination coming primarily from the left side, producing soft sunlight across the faces, hair, clothing, bedding, and wooden furniture, with gentle natural shadows and warm amber highlights. Preserve the cozy intimate atmosphere, subtle candlelight, soft contrast, and inviting domestic mood. Camera perspective should closely match the reference: vertical portrait orientation, approximately 4:5 aspect ratio, medium-full environmental portrait from a slightly elevated eye-level viewpoint, camera positioned near the front of the seating area and angled slightly downward toward the reclining subject. Use a natural portrait lens perspective around 50mm, avoiding wide-angle distortion. Keep the primary subject large in the foreground, diagonally spanning the lower half of the frame, while the seated companion occupies the central upper portion. Maintain the same layered depth: foreground table and objects, primary reclining subject, seated companion, then wall, photographs, plants, shelves, and window in the background. Use shallow-to-moderate depth of field with the people sharply detailed while distant background objects gradually soften. Preserve realistic skin texture, natural hair strands, authentic fabric texture, accurate anatomy, realistic hands and fingers, believable body proportions, physically consistent shadows, and photographic detail. The final image should feel like a candid high-end lifestyle photograph rather than an illustration or artificial studio portrait, with warm cinematic color grading, natural highlights, soft shadows, subtle film-like texture, and realistic indoor exposure. Do not introduce extra people, unnecessary objects, text, logos, distorted anatomy, duplicate limbs, malformed hands, unnatural facial features, or changes to the user’s identity. FINAL PRIORITY: USER PHOTO = WHO THE PRIMARY PERSON IS; REFERENCE IMAGE = HOW THAT PERSON LOOKS AND ACTS IN THE SCENE. Preserve the uploaded identity exactly while transferring the reference’s expression, emotion, gaze, head pose, body pose, clothing, composition, environment, lighting, and overall visual style.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
