Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values
before using this prompt. See parameters
and defaults below.
Use two uploaded photos as references: the person in ${reference-photo-1} is on the right in the foreground, and the person in ${reference-photo-2} is on the left, immediately behind them. Any gender and age, in any combination. Strictly preserve each person's individual appearance: face, features, proportions, age, hair, and hairstyle. Do not blend the faces or make either person look younger or older.
Create an ultra-photorealistic black-and-white close-up portrait of the two people positioned very close together, with their faces filling the frame. The first person's face is turned slightly toward the camera and partially cropped by the right edge of the frame; the second person's face is partially hidden behind the first, with one eye fully visible. The visible eyes of both people must be on exactly the same horizontal line and looking into the lens. Preserve natural face sizes and adjust their poses to accommodate any height difference. Keep clear, separate contours without merging facial features.
Use calm, natural expressions that convey closeness and trust. Preserve natural, age-appropriate skin texture, including moles, freckles, and other distinctive details from the references; do not add makeup or adult features to children.
Use soft, dramatic side lighting, deep shadows with preserved detail, and delicate highlights; both visible eyes must be clearly discernible. Use high-contrast monochrome, rich blacks, a broad range of midtones, and subtle film grain. Professional editorial photography, full-frame camera, 85 mm lens, both faces and their visible eyes in sharp focus, and a dark, blurred background. No beauty retouching or plastic-looking skin.
Vertical 9:16 frame, compact centered composition, 8K detail. Exactly two people, with no extra faces, distortions, text, or watermarks.
