Use the uploaded reference photos for both the man and the woman as the strict facial identity source. Preserve their faces with 100% fidelity — facial proportions, skin tone, hair texture, eye shape, and smile. No beautification, no smoothing, no AI face alteration. Create a vintage 1970s analog film aesthetic scrapbook collage in a 4:5 aspect ratio. The composition shows six polaroid-style photos tacked onto a warm beige cork board with small thumbtacks, washi tape strips, and tiny handwritten paper notes scattered between them. Polaroid 1 (top-left): Wide shot — the couple holds hands while walking down a quiet retro street with parked classic cars (a beige Premier Padmini, a sky-blue Vespa). He wears a brown corduroy jacket and bell-bottom jeans. She wears a flowing yellow midi dress with a small daisy print and round sunglasses pushed up on her head. Polaroid 2 (top-right): Close-up — both laughing while sharing a vanilla milkshake with two paper straws in a small retro diner booth. Sunlight pours through window blinds, casting striped shadows across their faces. Polaroid 3 (middle-left): The man behind a vintage Polaroid SX-70 camera pretending to photograph her. She covers her face shyly with both hands, smiling through her fingers. Polaroid 4 (middle-right): The woman leaning her head on his shoulder on a wooden park bench, autumn leaves scattered on the ground, both reading the same book together. Polaroid 5 (bottom-left): Slow-dancing on a quiet rooftop at golden hour, his hand on her waist, her arm around his neck. Soft sun flare. Polaroid 6 (bottom-right): Sitting on the hood of a beige vintage scooter, her arms wrapped around him from behind, both grinning at the camera. Each polaroid has the classic thick white border with a handwritten caption in faded dark-blue ink along the bottom margin — "first date", "us", "ours", "always", "forever", "you". Small extra scrapbook elements scattered: dried pressed flowers, a small ticket stub, a faded movie ticket, a heart drawn with red pen on a torn page. Style: subtle Kodachrome color shift, slight chromatic fringing, gentle color fade, fine grain, warm magenta cast in shadows, creamy highlight roll-off. The entire collage has a soft natural shadow under each polaroid, giving real depth on the cork board. Aspect ratio: 4:5.
