The Viral Prompt

The Viral Prompt
Google Gemini

Create an ultra-realistic cinematic double-exposure photograph of a young Indian man (20–24 years old) sitting alone on a modern wooden garden bench with black wrought-iron curved armrests and legs, exactly matching the uploaded reference bench. The bench is placed in the middle of a sea-wave beach during golden hour sunset.
The man must have the exact same face, facial structure, and hairstyle as the uploaded reference image, with 100% accuracy. His full face is clearly visible, showing emotional watery eyes, a sad yet hopeful expression, and slightly messy hair blowing naturally in the sea wind. He is wearing a black full-sleeve shirt and light blue jeans. His legs are partially submerged in gentle sea waves touching the base of the bench.
He is holding a small framed photograph of a young Indian girl and looking at it emotionally. Beside him on the bench, place a fresh red rose bouquet wrapped in white paper, carefully arranged.
In the sunset sky behind him, create a large, transparent, faded double-exposure image of the same young Indian girl, using the exact same face as the reference image. She has long black hair, fair skin, and an emotional expression, with one hand gently touching her hair while looking downward sadly. The girl should appear like a soft, ghostly memory naturally blended into the sky.
Use warm orange sunset tones, ocean waves in the background, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, realistic skin texture, natural shadows, DSLR-style photography, ultra-high detail, 8K resolution, emotional cinematic mood.
Negative prompt: cartoon, anime, painting, blurred face, bad hands, extra fingers, deformed body, watermark, logo, low quality, noise, overexposed.
Create the image in 9:16 aspect ratio (Instagram Reel size).
