💡 Tips (For Best Results)
Use a clear, well-lit photo with the face looking straight at the camera. Avoid side angles, blur, or low-light images.
The hairstyle reference image should clearly show:
- Front view
- Side view
This helps the AI understand the hairstyle accurately.
Keeps the original face exactly the same. Facial features like face shape, eyes, nose, lips, skin tone, and age remain unchanged.
Applies the hairstyle naturally without over-stylizing. Prevents face distortion or unnatural results.
What the Prompt Does
This prompt transforms the uploaded man and woman into ultra-realistic, high-resolution outdoor lifestyle portraits celebrating the traditional South Indian Pongal harvest festival. The portraits preserve the subjects’ facial features and identities while depicting authentic festival rituals, attire, and cultural context.
The young man is seated casually on a low stone platform in a village courtyard, sitting cross-legged with one knee slightly raised. One hand reaches behind his neck in a relaxed gesture, the other rests loosely in front. He looks slightly off-camera with a calm, proud, and festive expression. He wears a fitted deep violet short-sleeve cotton shirt, a white veshti (dhoti) with a prominent gold zari border, and simple brown leather sandals. Sunlit highlights naturally enhance his medium warm brown skin tone, lean athletic build, thick black hair, and well-groomed facial hair.
The young woman is depicted kneeling outdoors in a village courtyard, holding a spoon and stirring a clay Pongal pot on a traditional brick stove. She wears a rich red silk saree with a subtle golden border, draped traditionally, paired with a matching blouse. Her hair is neatly tied in a traditional bun adorned with fresh jasmine flowers. She is accessorized with authentic South Indian gold jewelry including a maang tikka, layered necklaces, jhumka earrings, stacked bangles, and a small black bindi. She smiles joyfully, looking directly at the camera while performing the ritual, with natural, festive makeup.
Both subjects are set in an authentic Pongal festival environment: sugarcane stalks, banana leaves, turmeric plants, clay pots with overflowing rice, decorative kolam patterns, and lush foliage softly blurred in the background. Natural morning or daylight creates warm, soft highlights and gentle shadows, enhancing the festive and cultural atmosphere.
Professional photography settings are implied: DSLR quality, 85mm lens look, f/2–f/2.8, shallow depth of field, medium-full body framing, creamy bokeh, ultra-realistic skin texture, and cinematic natural light. Vibrant natural colors, rich textures, and magazine-quality realism are emphasized.
Negative Prompt Considerations
To maintain photorealism and cultural authenticity, the prompt explicitly excludes: cartoon, anime, illustration, CGI, over-stylized effects, plastic skin, harsh lighting, grain, blur, watermark, logos, text, cropped body or head, modern kitchen or urban backgrounds, western clothing, heavy glam makeup, artificial lighting, extra fingers, distorted hands, and bad anatomy.
