Create a high-fidelity photorealistic photograph using ${reference-image}. Strictly preserve the exact facial identity, bone structure, and likeness of both people in the reference. Any deviation from either person’s identity is a failure.
COMPOSITION: Vertical close head-and-shoulders selfie of a couple pressed cheek to cheek, with the woman on the left and the man leaning in, his arm around her shoulder. Center both in the mid-ground and keep both faces sharply focused. Use a natural front-facing selfie perspective at a slight eye-level angle. Capture an unposed moment as they settle into the frame together: warm open smiles and bright gazes directed into and just past the lens, conveying shared happiness. Include visible catchlights in both pairs of eyes. Behind them, show a warm ochre stucco patio wall, terracotta pots, and greenery, with faint atmospheric haze and soft daylight. Add natural optical imperfections and a subtle vignette; avoid dominant foreground bokeh.
STYLING AND ATMOSPHERE: The woman wears a white broderie-anglaise eyelet top with a delicate scalloped neckline and small stud earrings. The man wears a fitted navy mock-neck top and a blue LA baseball cap. Let their hair and clothing respond subtly to a faint breeze. Use soft, warm, directional daylight spilling across their faces and clothing, with cool soft shadows, defined falloff, and one controlled warm accent. Convey easy, sun-warmed intimacy. The man has a broad, athletic, rugged build, with visible muscle density beneath his clothing and strong hands and forearms; his clothing should drape over a realistically substantial frame. Give the woman natural, effortless magnetism through relaxed posture with subtle tension and intentional fabric drape. Keep the image non-explicit, like a cinematic still capturing an unguarded moment mid-breath.
TEXTURE AND GROOMING: Match natural hair flow and organic texture to the reference, with individual strands and fine filaments catching the light; avoid clumping and plastic sheen. Use high-end editorial retouching while preserving visible pore geometry and natural sebum variation. Maintain seamless, radiant skin tone without artificial smoothing or AI skin glow. Preserve both faces’ source identity exactly. Give the woman soft warm makeup, defined brows, gently enhanced eyes with soft lashes, and natural warm-nude lips with a soft finish. Give the man clean natural grooming with light stubble.
OPTICAL CHARACTER: Make the image look captured on an iPhone with a 24mm/35mm prime-equivalent perspective. Use the source’s specified adln-style 5:2 lighting ratio and mlr-processed highlights and specular rolloff. Apply Micro-Surface Geometry Calibration (MSGC), minimal organic grain at texture-level intensity, and an adln-shadow-tint neutral treatment to mid-tones. Use deep focus and Kodak Portra 160 film emulation for balanced natural tones and true skin warmth, without amber overshift or cold bleaching. Add controlled halation and render light sources at ambient temperature. Preserve matte surface integrity; avoid specular overbloom and AI skin smoothing.
Finish with authentic handheld-selfie qualities: fine natural grain, balanced contrast, warm daylight grading with soft cool shadows, soft highlight bloom, and live specular glints in the eyes and on the stud earrings. No beauty filters, CGI, or oversharpening. Render in vertical 9:16 format, as a photograph rather than an illustration or synthetic render.
