Chota Imambara in Winter Light AI Photo Prompt
Soft winter light at Chota Imambara - same faces, elegant winter clothes, heritage courtyard calm.
The Prompt
chota-imambara-in-winter-light.md
Use the uploaded photograph(s) as the primary identity reference.
LOCK (do not change):
- Exact facial identity of every subject - eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, face shape, skin tone, age cues, freckles/moles, and natural asymmetry
- Body proportions, height cues, and build of the same person(s)
- Recognizable hair color / density (you may restyle length/part for wind, rain, fog, or the scene)
CHANGE for the scene (required):
- Outfit and footwear appropriate to this specific Lucknow moment
- Pose, gesture, and body language for this story beat
- Environment, props, weather, and lighting
- Hairstyle details when weather or activity needs it
Do not paste the uploaded outfit, pose, or background into the new scene. Do not invent a new face or swap in a generic model.
Place them in the grounds / courtyard area near **Chota Imambara** in soft winter daylight.
Pale sun, long gentle shadows, intricate heritage architecture secondary to the people. Quiet walk or pause near ornate detail - respectful, observational.
Dress in elegant winter / light ethnic layers. Pose: walking or standing mid-conversation - not a stiff monument photo.
CAMERA - FULL-FRAME DSLR / CINEMA STILL
Full-frame DSLR, 50mm, f/2.8, ISO 200 - 400. Soft winter daylight, high micro-contrast on stone carving, natural skin, restrained grade. Avoid oversaturated “travel brochure” color.
Final check: faces and body proportions must match the upload; clothing and pose must match THIS Lucknow scene, not the upload. Photoreal full-frame DSLR / cinema still only - no illustration, anime, cartoon, or soft phone snapshot. No face swap, no de-aging, no plastic AI skin.
QUALITY: hyperrealistic skin with visible pores and natural sheen, subtle catchlights in the eyes, optically clean shallow depth of field, restrained cinematic color grade, fine natural film grain - never over-smoothed AI skin or mushy phone softness.
Single photoreal frame. No collage, no grid, no duplicate person, no readable brand text or watermarks.Negative prompt
