The Prompt

rumi-darwaza-blue-hour.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 the couple near **Rumi Darwaza, Lucknow** during blue hour, shortly after sunset.

Stand them slightly off-center beneath the monumental arch - heritage mass behind private moment. He looks up at the architecture; she watches him with an amused expression.

Include evening pedestrians, distant vehicle lights, old stone texture, muted traffic, subtle haze. Stone catches cool sky light; small warm street lights appear around.

Dress in simple evening city / light ethnic-casual clothes. Pose: standing, looking - not arms-around tourist selfie.

CAMERA - FULL-FRAME DSLR / CINEMA STILL
Full-frame DSLR, 50mm prime, f/2.2, ISO 640 - 1000. Architecture readable but subjects sharp. Cool blue-hour key + warm practical accents. Fine stone micro-texture, natural skin, restrained grade. Avoid postcard wide-angle distortion and phone haze.

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.
