Prompt
Use the uploaded photo, or photos, as the reference for the two of us; both people shown have agreed to this edit. Preserve each person's recognisable face, natural skin tone, hairline and body proportions as closely as the model permits; check the result against the references. Scene: a city rooftop at blue hour, a soft lilac sky with one bright star, rooftops and distant towers with lights coming on. Pose: standing close, foreheads nearly touching, both smiling. Clothing: the outfits from the photo. Light: direct on-camera flash on both people, soft ambient lavender light behind. Style: dreamy candid flash photo, soft colours, gentle grain, natural skin texture. Format: vertical 9:16 Avoid: changing either face or identity, adding people, standing on the edge, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks.
