AI-generated The prompt
Identity lock: keep the person's face, features, skin tone and expression exactly as in the uploaded photo, including face shape, eyebrow shape, teeth and natural asymmetry; no face swap, no filter look. Place her beside a tall five-tier brass samai lamp with every wick burning, in an otherwise dark room. She wears a deep wine silk saree with an old-gold border and a heavy antique gold choker, a small red bindi. Her face turns three-quarters toward the flames, which create a Rembrandt triangle of light on the far cheek; the background is near-black with a faint carved wooden door. Single warm source at 1800K, no fill. 85mm f/1.4, tight head-and-shoulders, painterly chiaroscuro, rich blacks, fine film grain. Avoid haze, glow filters and added light sources. Ultra-realistic finish: true-to-life skin with pores and slight imperfections, believable shadows, correct anatomy and hands, no over-sharpening, no plastic skin, no added text. Aspect ratio 4:5.
For men
He wears a dark bottle-green kurta with a gold-thread collar, same tall samai lamp and dark room.
Hands in frame
She adjusts one wick with her fingers, the flame lighting her hands and face; same low-key mood.
Tips
- Low-key light hides detail, so start with a sharp, well-exposed photo.
- If the face is too dark, add "face clearly visible, exposure set for skin".
