Coffee and a real smile

Coffee and a real smile. Reference adult in their own casual outfit at a cafe window, holding one ceramic cup below the face. A distinct composition with practical lighting, framing and reference-preservation guidance.

The magic prompt

REFERENCE PRESENT: The attached person/persons are authoritative. Preserve every person's recognizable facial identity, age, facial structure, distinguishing facial characteristics, skin tone, ethnicity, natural body proportions and hairline. Preserve the number and identity of people in couple/group references. Never copy the preview model's face, complexion or identity. The preview supplies styling, pose, expression, wardrobe, composition, lighting and environment only. Cultural settings and styles, including K-drama, European editorial and retro Bollywood, do not determine ethnicity. Hair may be adapted when essential to the requested transformation; preserve the hairline and recognizable identity. Otherwise preserve or gently arrange the existing hair colour, length and texture. NO REFERENCE PRESENT: Default to an appropriate fictional Indian/South Asian adult man. Use believable diversity in Indian appearance, complexion, age and hair, with ordinary natural proportions; do not repeat a stereotypical face. Match age and number only where essential to this concept. CREATIVE DIRECTION: Create a 4:5 editorial photograph. Scene: reference adult in their own casual outfit at a cafe window, holding one ceramic cup below the face. Lighting and composition: soft open window light; 85mm chest-up portrait. Keep faces, defining clothing and major accessories within the frame; use a deliberate central crop for a vertical preview. Styling and identity: Use comfortable, natural body positioning. Preserve actual body shape and facial asymmetry; do not beautify by changing identity. Pose and expression: choose the resting moment at the start of this action, not a collage of positions: The person lowers the cup slightly and smiles towards someone just beside the camera, then holds naturally. Express warmth or focus appropriate to the activity; use natural hands and relaxed joints. Retain realistic texture, plausible contact shadows and clear subject separation. No added text or watermarks. Suggested camera directions describe a look, not guaranteed tool controls. REFERENCE COMPATIBILITY: Preserve the reference age and all intended group identities. If a child, infant, maternity or group-specific concept conflicts with the supplied people, ask for suitable complete references rather than changing age, inventing pregnancy or replacing anyone.

A little help getting started

How should I use a reference photo?

Label each identity reference clearly. The supplied people determine face, age, ethnicity, skin tone and body proportions. Without references, the prompt defaults to fictional Indian/South Asian subjects; a style category does not change ethnicity.

Which details matter most for this concept?

Use comfortable, natural body positioning. Preserve actual body shape and facial asymmetry; do not beautify by changing identity. Keep the setting, clothing and major props shown in the scene distinct and unobscured.

What if the tool leaves out a detail?

Ask for a focused revision of the missing feature while keeping the rest of the image or clip unchanged. Compare identity, hands, important accessories and product details to the references; results vary by tool.
