Create an original, natural, unretouched documentary photograph in vertical 9:16 format. Capture a quiet morning in a real contemporary home, with spontaneous body language, authentic materials, natural light, and believable physical proportions.

HUMAN SUBJECT — REFERENCE-BASED IDENTITY

Use the user's uploaded photograph (${person-reference}) to determine the subject's identity. Preserve recognizable facial features, facial structure, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, hair color, hairstyle, and other distinctive visible characteristics. Do not replace the person with a generic face or alter their identity.

The adult subject has a naturally athletic physique with moderate muscle definition and realistic proportions, without exaggerated musculature. They wear only simple white shorts with natural fabric folds and tortoiseshell-frame eyeglasses. Their hair is slightly tousled without changing its defining characteristics.

The subject sits on the sofa, with legs resting comfortably along the cushions. Their shoulders, arms, hands, and torso remain relaxed and anatomically natural. They hold a simple ceramic coffee mug and look toward the window with a serene, quietly attentive expression. They do not look at the camera.

ANIMAL — REFERENCE-BASED IDENTITY

Use the user's uploaded animal photograph (${animal-reference}) to determine its species, breed or type, appearance, and distinctive characteristics. Preserve its recognizable face, eyes, ears, body proportions, colors, markings, coat patterns, and species-specific features, including fur, feathers, scales, or skin as applicable.

Do not substitute another species or breed, invent identifying markings, or stylize the animal.

Position the animal naturally near the window, looking outdoors with quiet curiosity. Its posture and anatomy must be appropriate to its species and physically believable.

SHARED MOMENT

The subject and animal are looking toward the same general area outside the window, as though an ordinary event has caught their attention. Whatever they observe remains outside the frame.

Their shared attention is conveyed through their gaze and relaxed body language, without exaggerated expressions or theatrical gestures. The moment feels candid and unplanned.

INTERIOR

A minimalist living room with warm off-white walls and a substantial ivory modular sofa featuring rounded cushions, deep seating, and textured woven upholstery. Include realistic seams, fabric fibers, subtle creases, and natural tonal variations.

A large window occupies one end of the room, covered with translucent linen or cotton curtains. Add discreet contemporary abstract wall art in beige, stone, and warm gray, plus a leafy shade plant providing a restrained green accent. A small wooden side table may appear if space allows.

Keep the room uncluttered and comfortable, with subtle signs of everyday use rather than a perfectly staged showroom appearance. The sofa may extend beyond the frame.

NATURAL MORNING LIGHT

Morning sunlight enters through the window and filters through the translucent curtains. A few localized sunbeams may appear where physically plausible.

Maintain consistent light direction, soft but visible shadows, natural skin tones, and realistic highlights on the sofa, clothing, and animal. Preserve detail in bright curtains and ivory surfaces, keeping the walls, upholstery, and white shorts tonally distinct.

The room should feel naturally bright, without theatrical lighting, exaggerated contrast, or artificial-looking light effects.

CAMERA AND COMPOSITION

Vertical 9:16 composition, planned specifically for portrait orientation. Use an environmental three-quarter view showing the subject's upper body, a substantial portion of their relaxed seated posture, the coffee mug, part of the sofa, and the animal near the window.

Keep both subjects recognizable and unobstructed. The plant and artwork remain secondary. Allow natural negative space and accept a partial crop of the sofa rather than compressing the entire room into the frame.

Use a natural perspective comparable to a 35–40 mm full-frame lens, avoiding wide-angle distortion. Maintain sufficient depth of field to keep the subject, animal, and immediate surroundings recognizable.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE

Raw, documentary photograph. Genuine natural-light lifestyle photography, as captured in an actual home. Unretouched appearance, realistic skin texture, natural hair detail, authentic fabric fibers, believable animal texture, physically consistent shadows, neutral white balance, restrained colors, and moderate contrast.

Prioritize photographic authenticity over polish. Preserve the identities established by the uploaded references while integrating the subjects naturally into this new scene.

NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS

No CGI, 3D rendering, digital illustration, concept art, synthetic textures, plastic skin, artificial beauty retouching, exaggerated muscles, generic replacement faces, altered identity, substituted animal species or breed, invented markings, malformed anatomy, distorted hands, extra fingers, duplicated objects, impossible shadows, artificial sunbeams, excessive background blur, theatrical lighting, cinematic color grading, dramatic atmosphere, fashion-model posing, or showroom perfection.

The result must look like a genuine documentary photograph, not digital artwork or a rendered scene.
