IDENTITY AND GENDER ACCURACY ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Use every attached reference image as the identity reference for exactly one person. If there are 3 reference images, the final image must contain exactly those same 3 people — no substitutions, no reinterpretation, no gender changes.

Preserve each person's real gender presentation exactly as shown in their reference. Do NOT turn any woman into a man, do NOT masculinize any woman, and do NOT reinterpret a person's identity based on the clothing, pose, hairstyle or scene.

Preserve each person's exact face and identity: facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, skin tone, hairline, hairstyle, distinctive features and natural appearance. Do not merge faces, swap identities, beautify, reshape, age, de-age or masculinize/feminize anyone.

Create a 9:16 vertical photorealistic 1980s Indian group photograph using ONLY the people from the references.

Now design the entire scene around those exact people. Their clothing, hairstyles, accessories, poses, expressions and props should be creatively designed to suit the chosen 1980s scene, but their identity and gender presentation must remain unchanged.

Give them a funny, exaggerated, slightly chaotic 80s friends-group pose, with each person interacting naturally and having a distinct pose. Make it feel like a real candid studio photograph from the era rather than a modern photoshoot.

Use authentic 1980s Indian fashion and environment appropriate to the scene: period-correct denim, colorful tops, oversized jackets, jewellery, vintage accessories, retro props, warm studio lighting, 35mm film grain and slightly faded photographic colors.

IMPORTANT: Styling is allowed to change. Identity is NOT.
Three female references = three female characters in the final image.
Never invent a male character or convert any reference person into a male character.
Exactly one final person per reference image. No extra people. No duplicated people.
