Prompt
Use the uploaded photo, or photos, as the reference for me and my friends; 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. Keep everyone's ages as they are in the photo.
Scene: a retro yearbook-style page with one square portrait per friend in a neat grid, each first name under its square: Asha, Ravi, Meera, Kabir.
Pose: classic yearbook head-and-shoulders poses, each with their own smile.
Clothing: 1990s outfits and hairstyles, each in their own hair colour.
Light: soft flat studio flash.
Style: printed yearbook page, slightly faded colours, paper texture; everyone keeps their current adult age; no text other than the first names.
Format: vertical 4:5
Avoid: making anyone look younger, adding or removing people, changing anyone's face or skin tone, skin lightening, other text, logos, watermarks.
