Two people who don't exist, photographed in any city on earth. The full GPT Image 2 workflow, word for word, tested before it went in here.
These images show PERSON A and PERSON B. Use them as permanent character references for every image in this series. PERSON A: [name]. Preserve their exact facial structure, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, hairstyle, hairline, body proportions, height and overall appearance. PERSON B: [name]. Preserve the same, exactly. Do not beautify, slim, age, stylise or change either person. Keep natural asymmetry, real skin texture, pores, fine lines, flyaway hairs and realistic body proportions. The same two people must appear consistently in every image that follows. Clothing, location, pose and activity may change. Their identities must remain fixed.
CHARACTER CONSISTENCY: Use the uploaded reference images of PERSON A and PERSON B. They must be recognisably the same two people in every image. Preserve facial proportions, skin tone, hairstyle, hairline, eye colour, body proportions, height difference and age. Do not create approximate lookalikes. Do not merge their features. Do not make their faces more symmetrical or conventionally attractive.
IPHONE REALISM: Photographed casually on an iPhone by a friend. Natural smartphone dynamic range, realistic exposure, slightly imperfect framing and ordinary computational photography. Include subtle imperfections: slight motion blur, occasional soft focus, minor lens distortion, uneven exposure, clipped highlights, digital noise in shadows, flyaway hairs, creased clothing, natural skin texture, pores, under-eye detail and facial asymmetry. Avoid cinematic colour grading, studio lighting, plastic skin, hyper-sharp faces, perfect symmetry, artificial bokeh or polished campaign photography.
Create a candid 9:16 iPhone photograph of PERSON A and PERSON B in [LOCATION]. CHARACTER CONSISTENCY: [paste step 2] SCENE: They are [ACTION]. Their interaction feels spontaneous, affectionate and unposed. They are focused on each other rather than the camera. PERSON A OUTFIT: [top], [bottoms], [shoes], [accessories]. PERSON B OUTFIT: [top], [bottoms], [shoes], [accessories]. ENVIRONMENT: [background details], [time of day], [weather], [local details]. COMPOSITION: [camera distance], photographed from [angle]. Slightly imperfect composition, as though a friend captured the moment quickly. IPHONE REALISM: [paste step 3] Keep the faces and bodies consistent with the uploaded references. 9:16 vertical format.

Replace only the object or food in PERSON B's hand.
Use [SPECIFIC LOCAL FOOD] served in its normal local packaging. Make the portion, texture, shape, grease, crumbs, melting, wrapping and hand contact physically realistic.

Keep both people, their faces, bodies, clothing, pose, lighting, background and composition unchanged.
