1920s SOUTH ASIAN COUPLE — AUTHENTIC 100-YEAR-OLD PHOTOGRAPH

Use the uploaded photos as EXACT identity references for both people. Preserve their recognizable facial structure, face shape, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, natural skin tone and body proportions. Do not redesign, beautify, age, slim, reshape or replace their identities.

Create a completely new 1920s South Asian couple portrait, photographed around 1925–1930. The couple stands together on the veranda of an old colonial-era South Asian mansion. The woman stands slightly beside the man, holding the edge of her sari naturally, while the man stands upright beside her with one hand resting lightly on a wooden railing. Both look calmly toward the camera with subtle, serious expressions. Natural, dignified posture typical of an old studio portrait.

AUTHENTIC 1920s FASHION:
The woman wears a traditional handwoven cotton sari in muted ivory/cream with a deep maroon woven border, draped in an authentic early-20th-century style, paired with a modest fitted short-sleeved blouse. Her long dark hair is neatly center-parted and gathered into a traditional low bun, with a small bindi and simple antique gold earrings and bangles.

The man wears a period-appropriate cream/off-white traditional kurta with a structured dark waistcoat, loose high-waisted trousers and simple leather footwear. Neatly side-parted, naturally combed hair. No modern tailoring.

SETTING:
An authentic 1920s South Asian colonial residence: weathered plaster walls, tall wooden doors, carved wooden veranda railing, old potted plants and subtle period architecture. No modern objects or decorations.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE:
Make it look like a REAL photograph taken around 1925 on an early large-format glass-plate/early film camera. Soft focus, limited tonal range, warm faded brown-cream monochrome with extremely subtle remaining color, gentle exposure falloff, natural shadows, visible photographic grain and slight optical imperfections.

The photograph must feel genuinely 100 years old, not like a modern AI image with a vintage filter. Slightly faded emulsion, uneven exposure, tiny dust marks, faint scratches, subtle chemical staining and aged paper texture.

Add an authentic physical antique-photo border: irregular yellowed cream paper edges with small worn and slightly torn sections, mild corner damage and uneven aging.

NO modern clothing, modern hairstyle, modern makeup, modern jewelry, smartphones, contemporary architecture, modern furniture, HDR, DSLR sharpness, digital bokeh, plastic skin, excessive sepia, cinematic modern lighting, CGI, illustration, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, altered facial identity or altered body proportions.

PRIORITY:
Exact identity and body structure → genuine 1920s South Asian fashion → historically believable environment → authentic early photographic process → naturally aged physical photograph.
