Common Output Problems
Issues you may encounter and how to fix them
One person's face is preserved correctly while the other looks different or generic+
Why it happens
Dual-subject identity preservation is significantly harder than single-subject — most models prioritize the face they detect first and treat the second as optional.
Fix
Specify separate identity-preservation instructions for each person (e.g., "person on the left must match reference face A, person on the right must match reference face B") and use a higher-quality reference photo for each.
The warm tones become oversaturated or the background blows out with too much brightness+
Why it happens
Golden hour lighting instructions can push models toward extreme orange/yellow saturation, especially when combined with "warm" or "amber" descriptors.
Fix
Add "natural warm tones, avoid oversaturated oranges, retain background detail in bright areas" to keep the golden-hour effect balanced and photorealistic.
The depth of field doesn't match the lens specifications described in the prompt+
Why it happens
AI models don't physically simulate lens optics — they interpret depth-of-field instructions as general blur rather than accurate f-stop rendering.
Fix
Be explicit about what should be sharp vs. blurred: "tack-sharp focus on the face, gradual blur beginning at the shoulders, creamy circular bokeh highlights in the background."
Customize This Prompt
Adapt these elements to fit your vision
Swap the Black shirt for a pink alternative to shift the mood — different fabric colors dramatically change the overall tone of the portrait.
Move the setting outdoors to a park or urban location to add environmental context and natural lighting variation.
Replace the golden hour lighting with cool blue-hour tones for a more moody, twilight atmosphere.
Remove the wristwatch for a cleaner, less accessorized look, or swap it for a different style to match your branding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you copy this prompt
Do I need to upload a reference photo to use this prompt?+
Yes, this prompt is designed for reference-image workflows. Upload a clear, well-lit photo of the subject. If you remove the identity-preservation instructions, the model will generate a new face instead.
How do I get both people to look like their reference photos?+
Use separate reference photos for each person and specify which reference corresponds to which person in the prompt. For example: "the woman must match reference photo A, the man must match reference photo B." Quality reference photos with clear facial features work best.
Can I change the outfit or setting without breaking the prompt?+
Yes. Replace the specific clothing items and setting details with your preferred alternatives while keeping the lighting, composition, and camera instructions intact. The overall mood will shift but the portrait quality should remain consistent.
How do I get more dramatic lighting on the face?+
Specify the light position and intensity: "dramatic key light from 45-degree angle, deep shadows on the opposite side, subtle fill light to prevent total blackness" for more cinematic, moody studio lighting.
