FACE ACCURACY IS THE TOP PRIORITY.

Use every person from the attached reference images. Preserve each person's exact facial identity, facial structure, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, hairline, beard/moustache and distinctive features. Never beautify, reshape, merge, or alter their faces.

Create a 9:16 vertical photorealistic vintage group portrait, matching the feel of an iconic old-school gang/friends formation photograph.

GROUP FORMATION

Arrange everyone as one cohesive group:

2–3 people standing/leaning in the back

others seated or crouching naturally in front

some leaning against a vintage car

varied heights and overlapping positions

balanced triangular composition

every person fully visible and clearly recognizable

GAZE & POSE — IMPORTANT

Give the entire group a coordinated, intentional gaze.

Everyone should look toward the same camera position, as if a photographer is directly in front of them taking the group photograph. Keep eyes naturally aligned toward the camera, with realistic head angles.

Vary the poses and head tilts slightly so they don't look identical, but do not let anyone look randomly away, at another person, or in different directions.

Natural confident expressions: subtle smiles, neutral cool expressions, relaxed faces. No exaggerated expressions.

Body direction, shoulders, heads and eye gaze should all feel physically consistent with the same camera and same moment.

VINTAGE LOOK

Authentic 1980s/90s Indian film photograph:
vintage casual clothing, denim, sunglasses, classic car, weathered wall/street, warm sunlight, faded colors, analog 35mm film grain, subtle scratches and aged-photo texture.

Photorealistic faces, realistic anatomy, natural proportions, cinematic composition.

The final result should look like the exact people from the attached references were photographed together in one real vintage photograph, not like separate faces pasted into a group.

PRIORITY:

1. Exact face identity → 2. Correct gaze & head direction → 3. Everyone included → 4. Natural group formation → 5. Vintage aesthetic.

How to use this prompt

To achieve the best results, provide clear reference images of all individuals to ensure accurate facial representation. Specify the poses you’d like, along with details about the background and clothing style. Maintain a focus on consistent expressions and glares for a unified look across the group.
