Cozy Couple Selfie

Use the uploaded photo as the **only source of the main subject’s identity**. Preserve that person’s exact recognizable facial identity, facial structure, proportions, skin tone, natural features, hairline, and other distinctive characteristics without beautifying, redesigning, or changing their identity or gender. Do not copy the identity of anyone in the reference image. Treat the uploaded photo as WHO the person is, while the reference image controls HOW they appear and behave.
Recreate the reference as a realistic vertical smartphone selfie of two people sitting/standing very close together indoors. Place the uploaded person as the **primary foreground subject on the left side of the frame**, occupying most of the left and center portion of the image. Their upper body is visible from approximately the chest upward, with the body angled naturally toward the camera. The head is positioned near the upper-left/center area and slightly tilted, with the face close to the camera. Reproduce the reference's relaxed, confident, soft expression: relaxed eyelids, naturally raised/neutral eyebrows, closed lips with a subtle gentle smile, calm and friendly emotional mood. The eyes should look directly toward the camera lens, matching the reference gaze. Do not use the expression, gaze, or head pose from the uploaded source photo; transfer only the identity from it.
Match the reference head orientation precisely: face turned generally toward the camera with a slight natural tilt, chin relaxed, neck naturally positioned, and shoulders comfortably aligned with the selfie composition. Preserve realistic facial proportions while adapting the uploaded identity into this exact pose and expression.
Include a second companion positioned closely beside the primary subject on the **right side of the frame**, with their head leaning slightly toward the primary subject and their face partially lower than the primary subject's face. The companion should have a relaxed, warm, subtle smile and look directly toward the camera. Their pose should feel affectionate and naturally close, with the two heads almost touching/overlapping visually. Do not use the companion as a source for the uploaded person's identity; the uploaded person's identity must remain completely unchanged.
Recreate the clothing and styling from the reference composition: the primary subject wears a simple black traditional-style kurta with a short buttoned placket and several visible dark buttons, loose natural fabric folds, and a clean understated appearance. The companion wears a light cream/beige traditional outfit with delicate embroidered detailing and subtle floral patterns around the neckline and upper chest. Keep the clothing realistic and naturally fitted without exaggeration.
The camera is held very close at approximately arm's length, producing an intimate smartphone-selfie perspective. Use a slightly elevated eye-level camera position, with the lens facing the subjects almost directly from the front and a very mild perspective distortion typical of a modern phone's front-facing camera. Use a vertical **9:16 portrait composition**. Crop tightly around the two people: the primary subject's body extends toward the bottom edge, while the companion is partially cropped on the right and lower edge. Keep the primary face prominent and sharply detailed.
The background is a simple plain warm beige/taupe indoor wall with no distracting objects, decorations, furniture, or scenery. The environment should feel like a quiet indoor room. Use soft, warm, diffused ambient lighting coming primarily from the front/upper-front, creating gentle illumination across both faces with soft natural shadows under the chin, nose, hair, and clothing folds. Avoid harsh flash, dramatic studio lighting, strong rim light, or cinematic colored lighting.
Match the reference's natural photographic appearance: realistic smartphone photography, high facial detail, natural skin texture, subtle pores, realistic hair strands, accurate fabric texture, gentle tonal contrast, slightly warm white balance, clean exposure, and authentic everyday selfie aesthetics. Use moderate shallow depth of field so the faces and foreground remain sharp while the plain background is softly subdued, but do not create an extreme artificial bokeh effect.
Preserve realistic anatomy, natural facial asymmetry, authentic skin texture, individual hair strands, realistic eyes and teeth, and believable proportions. Do not make either person look like a model, do not over-smooth skin, do not alter facial structure, and do not apply beauty filters.
Most important: **uploaded photo = identity only; reference image = expression, emotion, gaze, head angle, body pose, clothing, companion placement, framing, camera perspective, lighting, background, and overall visual style.** The final image must unmistakably preserve the uploaded person's identity while reproducing the reference composition and visual behavior as closely as possible.
