## Prompt

```text
Keep the person's face, features, skin tone and expression exactly as in the uploaded photo, so friends recognise them instantly; change only clothing, styling, setting and light. He stands at the counter of an old-city mithai shop, pointing at a tray of kaju katli while holding a stack of gold-and-red sweet boxes tied with string. He wears a sky-blue linen kurta with rolled sleeves and a light shawl. Glass display shelves are packed with silver-leafed barfi, motichoor laddoos, soan papdi and jalebi; brass weighing scales, hanging marigolds and a warm tube-light glow mixed with diya light. Busy blurred customers behind. Light 3500K mixed, slightly green tube cast for realism. 35mm f/2.8, street-documentary angle, punchy natural grade. No shop name text. Photorealistic, real-camera look: visible skin texture and pores, natural catchlights, accurate hands, crisp textile detail, no airbrushing, no cartoon look, no logos or watermark. Aspect ratio 4:5.
```

## Variants

### For women

```text
She holds a sweet box and tastes a piece of kaju katli at the counter, wearing a yellow cotton suit.
```

### For couple

```text
The couple share a laddoo at the counter, both holding sweet boxes, laughing.
```

## Tips

- Name four sweets so the counter looks authentically Indian.
- Background people stay blurred, so only your face needs to match.
