Painterly Couple Portrait

OUTPUT ONLY THE IMAGE ITSELF — a clean, full-bleed standalone portrait. No phone screenshot, no social-media interface, no status bar, no username, icons, borders or frames.

FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY — ABOVE POSE, WARDROBE, LIGHTING AND STYLE. The man and the woman are the exact couple from the attached reference photo(s) — not lookalikes. Copy each face feature by feature: for him — hairline, hair volume and texture, brow shape, eye shape and spacing, nose width and bridge, lips, smile shape, jawline, cheek structure, beard and moustache pattern and density, skin tone; for her — hairline, parting, hair texture, brow shape, eye shape, spacing and lash line, nose width and tip, lips, smile shape, cheeks, chin, jawline, skin tone and undertone, any moles or marks. Every proportion identical, so anyone who knows them recognises them instantly. Do not beautify, slim, whiten, lengthen, reshape or genericise either face, and do not change their age. The painterly style and styling must never alter the underlying faces. From the reference keep only the faces and hair; clothing, background and lighting are rebuilt as described here.

STYLE: a rich, semi-painterly couple portrait — photoreal faces and fabrics with a soft, polished digital oil-painting finish, like a premium commissioned portrait. Fresh, warm and modern.

BACKGROUND: an abstract hand-painted textured backdrop of loose, expressive oil-paint brushstrokes — deep teal and peacock blue on the left, blending into indigo and soft violet across the middle, with a glowing warm peach-coral light breaking through on the upper right, fading into dark navy-black at the edges and bottom corners. Visible palette-knife texture and paint strokes, no objects, no furniture, no text.

POSE — BOTH STANDING: both are standing upright on their feet, side by side, posture tall and relaxed, shoulders level — no sitting, no chairs, no stools, no crouching, no leaning on anything. Cropped just above the knees so their standing posture is clear, their faces in the upper third of the frame. Both face the camera directly with both eyes clearly visible. The woman stands on the left in front, slightly shorter, body angled a little toward him, head tilted gently, a soft warm smile, hands resting together loosely in front of her at hip level. The man stands on the right just behind her shoulder, slightly taller, his left arm resting around her shoulders with his hand relaxed on her far shoulder, his other hand tucked casually in his trouser pocket. He has a calm, gentle smile and looks straight into the lens. Both faces are close, large and clearly readable, neither face blocked.

WARDROBE — HIM: a dusty slate-blue cotton button-up shirt with a classic collar, top button open, sleeves rolled to the forearm, worn untucked and relaxed, with soft natural creases; straight-fit off-white cream chinos; clean white sneakers; his hair styled with volume as in his reference, beard full and sharply groomed.

WARDROBE — HER: a white sleeveless cotton kurta with thin straps and a straight A-line cut falling to the knee, hand-block-printed with small navy-blue floral motifs scattered across it and a navy printed border at the hem; matching white straight pants with a navy block-print border at the ankle; a soft chiffon dupatta draped over one shoulder and falling down her side, in an ombré that fades from white at the top through powder blue into deep navy at the bottom; small silver oxidised jhumka earrings; nude-tan block-heel sandals. Her hair is open and free — long, soft natural waves falling over her shoulders and down her back, a few loose strands framing her face but never covering it. Light, natural makeup true to her reference.

LIGHT: soft, warm frontal studio light evenly lighting both faces, faces the brightest part of the image with clear catchlights, gentle shadows only, warm glow on skin, the peach-coral light in the background adding a soft warm rim on their hair and shoulders. Rich colour grade — the white, slate-blue and navy outfits reading crisp and clean against the painted background — while skin tones stay true to the references.

DETAIL: natural skin texture under the painterly finish, individual hair and beard strands, open hair with natural flyaways, cotton shirt weave, block-print motifs and chiffon dupatta sheen rendered true, accurate jewellery, natural hands with correct fingers and nails, natural body proportions for two standing adults. Only these two people. No text, no watermark, no logos anywhere. Vertical 9:16 full-screen frame, built for Instagram stories and reels.

FINAL CHECK: the image is only the portrait, with no app interface; both are standing; both face the camera; her hair is open; and both faces match the reference exactly — if any feature differs, it is wrong.
