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: three instant-film prints lying slightly overlapped on a dark wooden table, each showing the same moment from a slightly different angle. Pose: in the prints, the people from the photos in small natural variations: a smile, a laugh, a glance at each other. Clothing: the outfits from the photos, the same in all three prints. Light: warm fairy lights around the prints, soft top light on the table. Style: realistic flat-lay photo of printed instant film, slight curl to the prints, natural paper texture. Format: horizontal 4:3 Avoid: changing anyone's face or identity between prints, extra fingers, writing on the borders, text, logos, watermarks.
