Pose Variant 1 – Forehead Touch (Intimate)
Create a hyper-realistic close-up portrait of a young couple using the uploaded reference faces exactly as they are. Do not alter facial structure, skin tone, or expressions in any way.
The framing is intentionally messy and imperfect, cropped very close like a casual candid photo, but both full faces must be clearly visible.
The couple is wearing oversized pink knit sweaters with soft purple heart patterns. They are sitting extremely close, gently touching foreheads. The boy’s left hand rests on the wooden table while his head tilts slightly forward. The girl looks at him softly with a small, natural smile.
The girl has glossy pink lips, glowing skin, and bold silver earrings. The mood is intimate, cozy, and emotional.
Cinematic soft lighting, shallow depth of field, realistic skin texture, ultra-detailed fabric, editorial photography style.
Ultra-high quality, 8K resolution, hyper-realistic textures.
