Create an image using the uploaded reference photograph or photographs.
IDENTITY AND FACIAL PRESERVATION:
Use the uploaded photograph as the primary facial identity reference. Preserve each subject's exact recognizable facial identity, natural skin tone, apparent age, facial proportions, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, hairline, hairstyle, and distinctive characteristics. Maintain authentic skin pores, fine lines, natural facial texture, and realistic anatomy. Do not de-age, excessively beautify, reshape, or replace anyone's face. If two reference photographs are uploaded, preserve both individuals' identities independently. If only one person is uploaded, preserve that person's identity for the foreground subject and create a naturally complementary adult companion with a distinct, realistic face.
STYLE AND ATMOSPHERE:
Create an ultra-photorealistic, intimate luxury studio portrait of an elegant couple, inspired by high-end editorial photography, sophisticated fashion campaigns, cinematic celebrity portraits, and timeless romantic portraiture. The atmosphere should be intimate, confident, understated, elegant, emotionally connected, and quietly dramatic. Emphasize natural beauty, authentic facial expressions, subtle physical affection, and extraordinary photographic realism.
COMPOSITION AND POSING:
Create a vertical 4:5 close-up studio portrait featuring two adults positioned closely together. The masculine-presenting subject occupies the left foreground, facing directly toward the camera with squared shoulders, upright posture, and a calm, serious expression. The feminine-presenting companion stands immediately behind and slightly to the right, leaning naturally toward the foreground subject. Her face appears close beside his, positioned slightly higher, with direct eye contact and a composed, confident expression.
The companion's arms wrap affectionately around the foreground subject's shoulders and upper chest. One hand rests delicately across the upper chest near the shoulder, while the opposite arm crosses diagonally lower across the torso. Fingers are naturally separated and anatomically correct, with realistic skin folds, joints, and fingernails. The embrace should appear comfortable, intimate, and spontaneous rather than artificially posed.
Keep both faces unobstructed and looking directly into the camera, without head tilts or exaggerated smiles. Frame from above both heads to the lower chest and embracing arms, with the faces dominating the upper composition. Maintain balanced overlapping silhouettes, intimate spacing, and natural body proportions.
FACIAL DETAILS AND HAIR:
Capture extraordinary fine details, including individual eyelashes, intricate iris patterns, realistic eye reflections, subtle under-eye texture, natural lip lines, tiny facial imperfections, peach fuzz, realistic pores, and delicate variations in skin pigmentation.
Preserve each person's natural hairstyle and recognizable features while introducing subtle professional editorial grooming. Render individual hair strands, realistic hair density, dimensional highlights, natural flyaways, soft volume, and authentic hair texture. Facial hair, if present, must show individual short hairs, realistic density, and natural growth patterns.
WARDROBE AND ACCESSORIES:
Dress the foreground subject in a luxurious fitted black ribbed turtleneck sweater with a high folded collar. Show extraordinary fabric detail, including fine knitted fibers, ribbed patterns, subtle folds, delicate stitching, soft textile shadows, and realistic material tension.
Dress the companion in elegant minimalist dark clothing, largely concealed behind the foreground subject, leaving the neckline and arms naturally visible. Include delicate, understated jewelry where appropriate, such as small polished gold hoop earrings. Preserve a sophisticated monochromatic fashion aesthetic.
LIGHTING AND COLOR:
Use controlled premium studio beauty lighting, with a large softbox positioned slightly above and camera-left, creating beautifully diffused illumination across both faces. Add subtle frontal fill light to retain shadow detail and soft directional light from camera-right for facial dimension.
Create gentle sculpted shadows beneath cheekbones, along jawlines, around noses, beneath chins, and between overlapping bodies. Maintain luminous natural skin highlights, realistic catchlights, subtle hair reflections, and soft transitions from light to shadow.
Use a color palette of deep charcoal, graphite gray, rich black, warm natural skin tones, muted bronze undertones, subtle golden highlights, and soft neutral shadows. Avoid excessive orange grading, harsh contrast, artificial skin smoothing, and oversaturation.
BACKGROUND:
Use a seamless matte charcoal-gray studio backdrop with subtle tonal gradients, faint background illumination, and natural light falloff. Keep the environment minimalist, distraction-free, and softly out of focus. Include no scenery, furniture, patterns, text, or decorative elements.
CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SETTINGS:
Use professional full-frame portrait photography with an 85mm prime lens at approximately f/4, ISO 100, and a 1/160-second shutter speed. Position the camera at eye level, perpendicular to the subjects, to produce natural facial proportions with minimal perspective distortion.
Keep both faces and important hand details sharply focused. Maintain a shallow but controlled depth of field with smooth background separation, subtle optical falloff, natural lens rendering, and realistic photographic microcontrast.
FINAL IMAGE QUALITY:
Create ultra-high-resolution photographic realism, precise anatomy, authentic skin textures, beautifully detailed eyes, realistic hands and fingers, natural facial proportions, finely rendered clothing fibers, cinematic tonal depth, and professional editorial color grading. Avoid plastic skin, distorted fingers, extra limbs, unnatural expressions, artificial facial symmetry, excessive retouching, painterly effects, and CGI appearances.
Use a vertical portrait composition with full-frame height emphasis and a cinematic poster layout. Aspect ratio: 4:5.
