Intimate Cinematic Romance Portrait

Use the uploaded user photo as the **sole source of identity** for the main subject. Preserve that person's recognizable identity exactly—facial structure, proportions, forehead, eyebrows, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and distinctive facial characteristics. Do not make the subject resemble either person in the reference image, do not beautify or redesign their face, and do not alter their gender or identity. The user's source photo provides **identity only**, never the source for expression, gaze, head angle, pose, or emotional state.
Recreate the reference image as closely as possible: an intimate, cinematic vertical portrait of two adults in a quiet romantic moment. Place the identity-preserved user subject in the same spatial role and physical relationship shown in the reference, with the second adult positioned opposite them. The two subjects are extremely close, their faces only a few centimeters apart, creating a tender, emotionally charged moment immediately before a kiss. Match the reference's exact body arrangement, relative scale, posture, contact points, and framing rather than inventing a new pose.
The primary subject leans diagonally downward and inward from the upper-left portion of the frame toward the second subject. Their torso is angled toward the other person, shoulders relaxed, head lowered and turned toward the partner. One arm reaches around the partner's neck and jaw, with the hand resting naturally along the side/back of the neck and fingers gently curved around it. Reproduce the reference hand placement, wrist angle, arm position, and relaxed finger tension precisely. The partner sits or remains lower in the frame, facing upward toward the primary subject, with their shoulders and upper torso visible.
Reproduce the reference facial behavior exactly: the primary subject has a soft, tender, intimate expression, eyes lowered/mostly closed and directed downward toward the partner rather than toward the camera, relaxed eyebrows, relaxed cheeks, and gently closed lips positioned very near the partner's face. The head is tilted downward and slightly toward the partner. The partner gazes upward directly into the primary subject's eyes/face with a calm, affectionate, serious expression, relaxed eyebrows and mouth, creating clear mutual attention. Neither subject looks at the camera. Do not copy the user's original expression, gaze, or head pose; reconstruct the expression, eye direction, eyelid openness, mouth position, emotional intensity, and head orientation from the reference.
Match the reference composition: portrait orientation, approximately 2:3 aspect ratio, close medium/medium-full framing from roughly the waist/chest upward, with the primary subject occupying most of the left and upper-left frame and the partner occupying the lower-right portion. Keep both faces near the visual center while preserving the diagonal composition. The primary subject's flowing hair extends across the left side and behind the shoulder; the partner's head is slightly below and to the right. Maintain the same crop, camera distance, subject scale, negative space, and relationship between foreground and background.
Match the clothing and styling of the reference. Dress the primary subject in a soft, flowing pale powder-blue traditional South Asian outfit with delicate tonal embroidery and a sheer/light fabric, featuring ornate silver-white scalloped embroidery along the sleeve/edge. Add multiple thin stacked blue/silver bangles on the wrist and a small white flower hair accessory positioned near the upper side of the hair. Preserve the reference's long, dark, loose, naturally flowing hairstyle while adapting it naturally around the user's identity and existing hair characteristics; do not use the reference person's facial identity. Dress the partner in a loose beige/tan button-front shirt with a relaxed collar and slightly open neckline, revealing a subtle dark necklace/cord. Keep the clothing realistic, naturally wrinkled, and physically consistent with the pose.
Recreate the environment as a dim, warm indoor setting with a dark brown/black background and very little visible environmental detail. Include subtle indistinct furniture/interior shapes in deep shadow, but keep the background unobtrusive. The scene should feel private, intimate, warm, and cinematic rather than polished or studio-like.
Use warm directional backlighting/rim lighting from behind and above the subjects, producing a delicate golden halo along the primary subject's hair and shoulders and subtle highlights around the partner's hair. Combine this with soft warm frontal/side illumination that reveals natural skin tones and facial details without flattening the scene. Preserve deep shadows in the background, gentle falloff across the clothing, realistic facial shadowing, and atmospheric contrast. The brightest highlights should appear around the hair edges and selected facial/skin areas. Avoid harsh flash, excessive HDR, artificial glow, or overexposure.
Use a natural photographic perspective resembling a full-frame camera with an approximately 50–70mm portrait lens, moderate shallow depth of field, realistic perspective, and strong but natural background separation. Keep both faces sharply rendered while allowing the far background and portions of the lower clothing to soften slightly. Preserve realistic skin pores, fine hair strands, fabric texture, embroidery, jewelry reflections, and subtle imperfections. Avoid plastic skin, excessive smoothing, uncanny facial reconstruction, exaggerated bokeh, or overly stylized beauty-retouching.
The final image should look like an authentic candid romantic photograph with a raw, intimate, slightly indie-cinematic aesthetic: warm tungsten/amber highlights, muted earthy shadows, natural contrast, subtle film-like grain, soft highlight rolloff, realistic color rendition, and emotionally believable body language. Maintain the reference's quiet tenderness and closeness without exaggerating the romance into a theatrical pose.
CRITICAL IDENTITY RULE: the uploaded user photo determines **WHO the primary subject is**; the reference determines **HOW the primary subject looks, poses, gazes, and behaves in this scene**. Do not transfer the reference person's facial identity, facial proportions, ethnicity, distinctive features, or recognizable appearance onto the user. Preserve the user's identity while accurately reconstructing the reference expression, gaze, head position, body pose, clothing, composition, lighting, environment, camera perspective, and mood. If the user's identity is male, female, or otherwise different from the reference subject, retain the user's identity and gender presentation while adapting the same pose and scene naturally. The result must unmistakably look like the person in the uploaded photo placed into the exact visual scenario of the reference, not like the reference person with a modified face.
