The prompt
FACIAL IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE PRIORITY
Keep the uploaded person's face completely unchanged: same bone structure, same eyes, same nose, same lips, same skin tone and texture. Do not slim, smooth, beautify, reconstruct, or reinterpret the face. Do not turn them into a celebrity or generic model. 100% face match to the reference photo — only the outfit, pose, background, and gaze direction change, never the face itself.
CAMERA-FACING ANGLE & DIRECT EYE CONTACT (critical)
Face stays fully forward and centered toward the camera, head level, not tilted or turned away — even during an action pose (riding, walking, holding something). The action comes from the hands, shoulders, and body only, never from turning the head or face.
Both people's pupils are centered and looking straight into the camera lens — direct eye contact with the viewer, like a portrait photographer's direct-gaze shot. Not gazing to the side, not looking past the camera into the distance, not unfocused, not cross-eyed. Even if the uploaded reference photo shows the eyes looking elsewhere (to the side, downward, at each other), redirect the gaze so both people look straight into the camera in the final result — this is the one detail that is allowed to differ from the reference photo.
HAIRSTYLE
Hair is neatly styled and groomed for the scene — flyaways smoothed down, settled, not messy or windblown. Applies to both the man and the woman.
MAKEUP (for female subjects)
Light, natural, everyday makeup — subtle base, softly defined brows, a natural lip tint, and a healthy glow. For male subjects: neatly groomed hair and clean natural skin texture, no visible makeup.
CLEAR SKIN (both subjects)
Both people's skin is clear and even-toned — pimples, acne, blemishes, and dark spots are smoothed away naturally, while keeping real, natural skin texture (visible pores, no plastic or airbrushed look). This applies equally to the man and the woman.
IMPORTANT: This grooming, makeup, skin-clearing, and gaze-redirect enhancement must never change face shape, eyes, nose, lips, or bone structure — it only enhances the existing face and gaze direction, it does not alter identity.

FACIAL IDENTITY — DO NOT CHANGE: Both faces stay completely faithful to their reference photos, no changes to facial structure, skin tone, eye shape, or natural expression whatsoever for either individual. A quiet urban street at blue hour, wide footpath flanked by tall old trees with dim warm lampposts in the far background, the atmosphere cool and cinematic. He stands slightly behind her, one hand resting on her shoulder lightly, posture relaxed and tall. He wears a dark navy structured blazer over a plain white round-neck tee, dark charcoal slim chinos, and clean white leather low-top sneakers. She is in a coordinated deep navy wide-leg trouser set, a fitted sleeveless crop top tucked in, a minimal gold chain at her neck, and pointed ivory mules. Her hair is pulled back into a sleek low bun with a few face-framing strands loose. His hair is neatly styled with a light pomade finish. Both are looking directly into the camera with a calm, unposed expression, confident and still. Captured at 85mm f/1.8 equivalent, the background melting into a cool blue-grey painterly bokeh while both faces stay razor sharp in the foreground. ISO 640, shutter 1/200. Color grading is cool cinematic tones, deep shadows, slight blue shift in the midtones, lifted skin warmth for contrast. Shot in 3:4 vertical aspect ratio. Shot with premium editorial sensibility, clean and classy, platform-safe from every angle, natural skin, cinematic light quality throughout.
