STRICT FACE IDENTITY COPY DNA Create image using the uploaded image only as the facial identity reference for the man and woman. Preserve both faces completely and exactly, including head shape, facial proportions, forehead, hairline, eyebrows, eye shape and spacing, eyelids, nose, cheeks, lips, jawline, chin, ears, skin tone, natural skin texture, apparent age, facial symmetry, and every recognizable identity-defining characteristic. Do not beautify, reshape, smooth, stylize, age, de-age, or alter either face in any way. The uploaded image must not be used as a reference for outfit, pose, background, props, or lighting. VISUAL RECONSTRUCTION DNA Create a photorealistic intimate contemporary couple portrait with a warm, youthful, emotionally connected lifestyle-photography aesthetic. The couple should appear naturally close together, creating a relaxed candid moment rather than a formal posed portrait. SUBJECT & COMPOSITION DNA Use a vertical 9:16 composition. Position the man on the left side of the frame and the woman closely beside him on the right. Frame them from approximately the waist or upper thighs upward, with their faces occupying the central upper portion of the image. Their bodies should naturally overlap, creating a strong visual connection while keeping both faces completely unobstructed. POSE & BODY LANGUAGE DNA The man sits or leans comfortably in the foreground with his torso angled slightly toward the camera. His posture is relaxed, confident, and natural. He looks directly toward the camera with a broad genuine smile. The woman sits or leans closely beside him, resting her head affectionately against his shoulder. Her body angles gently toward him while her face turns toward the camera. She gives a soft, warm, natural smile. Their arms and hands should naturally overlap near the lower portion of the composition, suggesting comfortable intimacy. Maintain realistic anatomy, natural shoulders, believable hand placement, accurate fingers, and physically correct body contact. OUTFIT DNA — MAN Dress the man in a dark navy-to-black premium crew-neck knitted sweater with subtle ribbed texture and realistic fabric depth. Pair it with dark blue casual jeans. Keep the outfit simple, masculine, modern, and understated. Give him naturally tousled thick dark brown hair with realistic individual strands and natural volume. Maintain a neatly groomed but natural appearance. OUTFIT DNA — WOMAN Dress the woman in a soft blush-pink long-sleeve blouse or lightweight knit top with smooth flowing fabric, subtle texture, realistic folds, and a feminine relaxed fit. Her hair should be long, dark brown, smooth and naturally styled, falling over her shoulder and down her back with realistic individual strands. Keep jewellery minimal and delicate, such as small understated earrings. ENVIRONMENT DNA Place the couple in a minimalist contemporary indoor setting with a softly textured muted gray-green wall behind them. The environment should be clean and uncluttered, with no furniture, decorations, text, logos, watermarks, or visible studio equipment. Create subtle tonal variation in the wall so the background feels photographic rather than digitally flat. LIGHTING DNA Use soft cinematic indoor illumination with gentle warm-neutral light falling primarily across the couple’s faces. Create beautiful smooth highlights on the forehead, cheeks, nose, lips, and hair while maintaining soft natural shadows beneath the chin, hair, neck, and overlapping bodies. Give the skin a subtle healthy warmth while allowing the background to remain slightly cooler and muted. Maintain controlled contrast, preserving detail in the dark sweater without making it appear flat. Do not show softboxes, reflectors, lamps, diffusers, light stands, or any lighting equipment. Lighting describes only the resulting illumination, highlights, shadows, contrast, and subtle color atmosphere. CAMERA & OPTICAL DNA Use a professional full-frame portrait camera with an approximately 50–85mm lens at f/2.0–f/2.8. Position the camera approximately at eye level with a natural portrait perspective. Keep both faces exceptionally sharp and detailed while allowing the background to fall into a subtle soft blur. Preserve realistic perspective without wide-angle distortion. COLOUR & MOOD DNA Use a sophisticated palette of deep navy, black, blush pink, muted gray-green, warm natural skin tones, and subtle neutral highlights. The emotional mood should be romantic, affectionate, youthful, relaxed, warm, intimate, and genuinely joyful. PHOTOREALISM DNA Render in 4K Ultra HD, ultra-realistic professional photography quality with authentic skin pores, natural skin texture, individual hair strands, realistic knitted and fabric fibers, accurate shadows, physically correct anatomy, natural expressions, and believable depth of field. Avoid plastic skin, excessive beauty retouching, altered facial identity, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, malformed hands, unrealistic limbs, excessive HDR, oversaturation, artificial glow, cartoon styling, or an obvious AI-generated appearance. FINAL OUTPUT DNA Create a premium intimate lifestyle couple portrait featuring the identity-preserved man in a dark navy-black knitted sweater and the identity-preserved woman in a soft blush-pink top, positioned closely together with her head affectionately resting against his shoulder. Use a muted gray-green indoor background, soft cinematic illumination, natural shadows, subtle warm skin tones, realistic clothing textures, authentic expressions, shallow depth of field, and polished contemporary professional photography aesthetics.
