Prompt Text
Ready to copy & executeCreate an ultra-realistic, DSLR-quality vertical photograph that recreates the provided reference image as closely and naturally as possible.
REFERENCE & COMPOSITION
Use the uploaded image as the primary reference for the exact composition, framing, camera angle, perspective, crop, subject positioning, poses, body posture, hand placement, clothing, environment, lighting, color grading, and overall mood.
Maintain the same vertical 4:5 aspect ratio and smartphone-photography perspective.
Keep both main subjects in the same relative positions, scale, and seated arrangement as the reference.
Preserve the natural candid composition: the male subject seated slightly behind/left, looking toward the female subject, while the female subject is in the foreground/right, turned toward him.
Reproduce the visible hands and cup positions accurately, including the small tea cups being held by the subjects.
Do not rearrange, add, remove, or dramatically alter any major object or background element.
FACE REFERENCE / IDENTITY
Use the provided face reference image for the applicable subject.
Preserve the reference face's identity and recognizable facial structure as accurately as possible: facial proportions, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, hairline, and natural facial characteristics.
Do not beautify, reshape, age, de-age, or stylize the face.
Keep the face photorealistic with natural skin texture, pores, subtle imperfections, and realistic lighting.
Ensure the face integrates naturally with the head angle, perspective, shadows, and warm ambient lighting of the scene.
SUBJECTS & CLOTHING
Male subject: natural dark, slightly tousled/wavy hair, wearing a loose off-white/cream traditional-style shirt/kurta, seated casually and holding a small tea cup.
Female subject: long dark hair, partially tied/flowing naturally, wearing an elegant off-white/cream traditional outfit with a soft draped fabric, traditional dangling earrings, thin bangles, and a delicate necklace.
Preserve the clothing folds, fabric texture, jewelry placement, and natural proportions from the reference.
ENVIRONMENT
Recreate the same atmospheric nighttime courtyard/heritage setting.
Large warm-toned historic architectural structure on the left.
Old architectural buildings and textured walls in the background.
Decorative warm string/fairy lights, illuminated panels, potted plants, and greenery behind the subjects.
Include the distant people naturally in the background with realistic depth-of-field blur.
Preserve the stone/tiled courtyard and steps exactly in the same visual arrangement.
LIGHTING & CAMERA
Warm golden-orange nighttime illumination from practical lamps and decorative lights.
Natural mixed lighting with warm highlights and soft shadows.
Slightly soft smartphone-camera exposure while retaining DSLR-level realism.
Realistic low-light photography, subtle lens glow around bright lights, natural highlight roll-off, and authentic ambient shadows.
Shallow-to-moderate depth of field: main subjects sharply detailed while the distant background is softly blurred.
35–50mm full-frame-equivalent perspective, natural facial proportions, no wide-angle distortion.
High dynamic range, realistic skin tones, detailed hair strands, authentic fabric texture, and physically accurate reflections.
PHOTOREALISM
Make the final image look like a genuine candid photograph taken at night rather than AI-generated artwork. Preserve natural skin texture, realistic anatomy, authentic facial expressions, believable hands and fingers, realistic hair, fabric folds, lighting falloff, shadows, and depth.
NEGATIVE PROMPT
No cartoon, anime, illustration, painting, CGI appearance, plastic skin, excessive skin smoothing, face distortion, altered identity, exaggerated beauty filter, unrealistic eyes, extra fingers, missing fingers, malformed hands, duplicated objects, warped jewelry, distorted cups, incorrect anatomy, oversaturated colors, excessive HDR, artificial sharpness, heavy noise, excessive blur, fake bokeh, duplicated people, or major changes to the original composition.
FINAL REQUIREMENT
The result should look like the exact same real-life moment captured in the reference photograph, with the same composition, pose, environment, lighting, clothing, expressions, and perspective, while using the supplied face reference accurately and naturally.Introduction
This structured prompt is designed for generating highly specific, photorealistic images that recreate a provided reference photo while maintaining exact subject identities and compositions. It provides precise instructions covering aspect ratio, face preservation, traditional attire, atmospheric lighting, and camera settings. The detailed constraints ensure the output resembles an authentic, candid smartphone or DSLR photograph rather than stylized AI art.
Prompt Details
Concept & Creative Objective
To accurately replicate a reference photograph of a couple in a traditional heritage setting while retaining authentic facial identities, poses, clothing, and warm nighttime courtyard lighting.
Why This Prompt Works
The prompt enforces strict adherence to visual reference material by explicitly defining camera focal lengths like 35-50mm, specific aspect ratios, and detailed subject placements. It utilizes granular descriptions of lighting sources, fabric textures, and depth of field to guide the AI toward realistic photography rather than generic generation.
Prompt Breakdown
The instructions are divided into clear operational sections including reference and composition, face identity preservation, subject descriptions with traditional clothing, environmental details, lighting and camera parameters, and a comprehensive negative prompt to prevent artifacts like extra fingers or plastic skin.
Instructions
Customization Tips
Modify the clothing color descriptions or the specific architectural elements in the environment section if you need to adapt the scene to different cultural contexts or outfits while keeping the structural layout intact.
Generation Best Practices
Ensure you supply clear, high-quality reference images for both the overall composition and the individual faces to achieve the most accurate and recognizable identity integration.
