AI-generated The prompt
Keep each person's face, features, skin tone and expression exactly as in the uploaded photo of the two of them; change only outfits, pose, setting and light. Seat the older couple side by side on a carved wooden bench in a whitewashed courtyard. She wears a cream Kanjivaram-style silk saree with a maroon-gold border, small diamond studs and her own grey hair in a neat bun; he wears an off-white kurta, a maroon wool shawl and his own spectacles. Their hands rest together on her lap. Rows of lit diyas sit on the low wall behind them and a brass oil lamp burns beside the bench. Warm 2000K light, gentle fill from the evening sky. 85mm f/2, eye level, tender documentary feel, soft film grade. Keep wrinkles, grey hair and age exactly; no de-aging. 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.
Holding a thali
She holds a brass aarti thali with a lit diya and he rests a hand on her shoulder; same courtyard and diyas.
With adult child
Add their adult son or daughter standing behind the bench with hands on both their shoulders, in coordinated maroon ethnic wear.
