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 still from an original, made-up 1970s film; the two of us on a vintage scooter on a seaside road lined with palm trees. Pose: one person driving, the other sitting behind holding on and laughing. Clothing: 1970s clothes: a printed shirt and a chiffon saree with a headscarf. Light: bright daylight, warm sun on faces, a little lens flare. Style: 1970s film still, warm faded colour, visible grain, slight softness, natural skin texture. Format: horizontal 16:9 Avoid: real film titles, real actors, changing either face or identity, adding people, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks.
