Prompt Details
Concept & Creative Objective
To accurately replicate an uploaded reference photograph of a couple taking a close-up airport selfie, preserving their exact facial identities, clothing, and candid smartphone aesthetic.
Why This Prompt Works
The prompt breaks down the generation process into highly specific categorical instructions covering face preservation, precise composition, wardrobe details, and background architecture. Directives like maintaining skin imperfections, natural facial asymmetry, and smartphone camera lighting help avoid overly polished, artificial outputs.
Prompt Breakdown
The instructions enforce strict facial identity preservation without beautification or redesign. It specifies exact placement for a male subject on the left (partially cropped) and a female subject on the right, details their casual clothing and jewelry, outlines a bright architectural airport ceiling background with natural daylight, and mandates a vertical 9:16 smartphone HDR aesthetic.
Instructions
Customization Tips
To adapt this prompt for different subjects or settings, modify the facial identity references, update the descriptions of the male and female clothing items, or adjust the background architecture details while keeping the structural layout and smartphone framing instructions intact.
Generation Best Practices
Ensure you upload a clear reference image that matches the composition described in the text. Select an AI tool or model that supports advanced image-to-image or reference-guided generation to successfully utilize the detailed layout and facial preservation instructions.
