Preserve the couple's precise face identity using the provided reference photo, including their bone structure, eye shape and color, nose, lips, natural skin tone and texture, haircut, hair color, estimated age, body proportions, and any distinguishing traits (moles, freckles, scars, dimples). Their likeness must remain completely identifiable and genuine; do not modify or idealize their appearance.
Scene: Set the couple in a beautifully decorated courtyard set for Diwali, complete with rows of glowing terracotta diyas, a hand-drawn rangoli in warm colors (marigold orange, deep red, gold, and ivory), fresh marigold garlands and petal accents, and strings of festive lights softly blurred in the background by warm bokeh. Instead of being cluttered or ostentatious, the environment should feel sophisticated and culturally authentic.
Wardrobe: Dress the pair in elegant, well-tailored traditional Indian clothing in complimentary jewel-tone or gold-accented hues, such as a matching sherwani or bandhgala for him and a rich silk saree or lehenga with exquisite embroidery for her. Incorporate elegant jewelry with authentic metallic shine and fabric texture (zari, zardozi, or thread embroidery evident in delicate detail), such as jhumkas, a maang tikka, or a statement necklace for her; a discreet brooch or pocket square accent for him.
Pose & Moment: Take a picture of the couple lighting a diya together while keeping their hands near and their gaze on the flame. Then, take a candid follow-up shot in which they turn to face each other and make warm, sincere smiles. Instead of being rigid or symmetrical, poses should feel organic and spontaneous.
Lighting & Lens: To set the pair apart from the background, gentle rim/backlight is added to the warm ambient light from the diyas and string lights. In the manner of high-end Indian editorial and wedding photography, shoot at eye level with an 85mm-equivalent lens length and narrow depth of field (creamy bokeh on the lights and rangoli).
Mood & Finish: Elegant but not unduly staged, festive, graceful, loving, and appreciative of culture. Create high-resolution renders of photorealistic skin texture, cloth weave, jewelry reflections, and diya flame glow that are ideal for social media sharing and printing (greeting cards, framed pictures, and albums).
