Romantic Couple Lock‑Screen Photo Prompt

The Genius Prompt

Use 100% of both faces from the uploaded reference photos. Preserve each person's exact facial identity, facial proportions, eye shape, nose, lips, skin tone, hairstyle, and other recognizable features. Do not blend, replace, beautify, or alter either face.

Create an ultra-photorealistic romantic couple portrait inspired by cinematic iPhone lock-screen photography. A young man and young woman stand extremely close, facing each other, their faces only inches apart. The man is positioned in the upper-left or upper-right portion of the frame, leaning gently toward the woman and looking down into her eyes. The woman is positioned below him, tilting her face upward and gazing into his eyes with a soft, affectionate expression. Their noses are almost touching, creating an intimate, natural romantic moment. Capture their genuine eye contact, subtle smiles, and realistic facial expressions without exaggerated posing.

Composition and camera: Vertical 9:16 portrait, tightly framed close-up, with both faces prominently visible. Capture the side profiles and three-quarter facial angles naturally, with realistic facial proportions and anatomically correct features. Allow some hair and shoulders to extend beyond the frame for an authentic close-cropped portrait. The faces should be the primary focus, with the man above and the woman below, creating a beautiful diagonal composition.

Lighting and atmosphere: Warm golden-hour backlighting mixed with soft amber practical lights in the background. Beautiful circular golden bokeh, softly illuminated hair strands, delicate rim lighting around their faces, and a dreamy, romantic evening atmosphere. Use shallow depth of field with softly blurred background lights, warm brown and honey-gold tones, and natural cinematic contrast.

Realism and skin detail: Preserve realistic skin pores, fine facial hair, natural eyelashes, individual hair strands, subtle under-eye texture, tiny skin imperfections, natural lip texture, and authentic eye reflections. Maintain realistic skin tones without excessive smoothing. No artificial skin, no exaggerated eyes, and no beauty-filter appearance.

Photography style: A realistic high-resolution smartphone portrait that feels like a candid photograph captured on an iPhone. Natural computational HDR, subtle sensor grain, gentle lens softness, realistic exposure, soft highlight roll-off, and lifelike depth. Keep the faces crisp while the background remains beautifully defocused. Professional cinematic color grading, but retain the authenticity of an actual photograph.

Lock-screen aesthetic: Leave enough unobstructed space near the top for an iPhone-style lock-screen clock and date overlay. The image itself must contain no generated text, no watermark, no logos, and no UI elements. The lock-screen interface can be added separately afterward.

Final result: A breathtaking, intimate, photorealistic couple portrait with warm golden bokeh, natural romantic eye contact, lifelike faces, and cinematic depth. It should resemble a genuine photograph taken by a professional photographer using a portrait lens, while retaining the candid warmth of a real smartphone photo.

Strict negatives: No face swapping artifacts, no identity changes, no cartoon appearance, no CGI, no illustration, no plastic skin, no excessive retouching, no distorted facial features, no extra eyes or fingers, no asymmetrical pupils, no unnatural teeth, no fake bokeh patterns, no oversharpening, no artificial skin glow, and no overprocessed AI aesthetic.
