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: old stone ghat steps by a calm lake at blue hour, a few lamps glowing on the water. Pose: sitting together on the steps, one leaning on the other's shoulder, both looking at the water. Clothing: one in a maroon silk saree with a gold border with a simple blouse and small gold earrings; the other in a cream cotton kurta; each person's own hair colour and hairline. Light: cool blue-hour sky with warm lamp glow on the faces. Style: vintage cinematic portrait, soft film grain, warm-cool contrast, shallow depth of field. Format: vertical 4:5 Avoid: adding people, changing either face or skin tone, skin lightening, heavy beauty filters, text, logos, extra fingers, watermarks.
Customise
For example: maroon silk saree with a gold border.
