Prompt
Use the uploaded photo, or photos, as the reference for me and my partner; everyone shown has 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: both of us together in front of a plain white curtain, shown as a single instant-film print with a wide white bottom border, lying on a plain table.
Pose: a warm side hug, heads close, both looking at the camera with natural smiles.
Clothing: the outfits from the photos.
Light: direct on-camera flash, slight soft shadow on the backdrop, gentle falloff at the edges.
Style: candid instant-film photo, slightly soft focus, faint grain, true-to-life skin tones.
Format: vertical 4:5
Avoid: changing either face or identity, merging the two people, extra fingers, writing on the border, text, logos, watermarks.
