Prompt
Create an informal two-person editorial portrait photographed extremely close with a fisheye lens at a brick doorway. Use a 9:16 portrait canvas.
OPTIONAL INPUTS
• Personal photographs for either or both adults: [Optional]
• Clothing photographs: [Optional]
• Location name or photograph: [Optional]
IDENTITY RULES
Preserve every supplied person’s recognizable facial features, skin tone, age, hairstyle, facial hair, and body proportions. Do not replace them with the reference actors or copy their identities.
Without identity photographs, create two distinct original adult men: a taller man with tousled sandy hair at left and a shorter man with neatly styled dark hair at right.
Default clothing: a worn cognac leather jacket over a loosely patterned shirt for the left subject; a charcoal suit, ivory shirt, and loosened dark tie for the right. Remove branding. Treat blank fields as absent.
LOCATION
Use a real-looking brick doorway with a pale painted frame, dark interior, and shallow curved porch canopy. If a location is named, research its actual appearance using credible photographs before generating. If browsing is unavailable, request visual references rather than inventing a specific place.
COMPOSITION
Place both adults close together at the threshold, photographed from roughly chest height at a distance of approximately one meter.
The taller subject stands left, looking into the lens with one index finger raised near the lips. The shorter subject stands right, shoulders slightly lowered, looking directly toward the camera.
Optional adult smoking details may include a cigar held naturally by each subject, with a small irregular plume rising toward the canopy. Keep smoke translucent and locally concentrated; do not obscure faces or fill the whole image with fog.
CAMERA AND LENS
Simulate a full-frame Canon EOS 5D-series camera with an approximately 8–15mm fisheye zoom set near 12mm.
Use pronounced barrel distortion: the canopy curves across the top, brick edges bow outward, and the frame corners fall toward black. Keep both faces close to the optical center so their identities remain recognizable.
Suggested exposure character: approximately 1/125 second, f/5.6, ISO 800. Focus on the nearer eyes; retain useful detail in both faces and jackets, with softer doorway edges and a darker, unresolved interior.
LIGHTING
Use overcast daylight from in front of the doorway, supplemented by a small camera-mounted flash bounced or diffused lightly. The flash provides modest frontal definition, not glossy beauty lighting.
Do not add rim lights, studio catchlight patterns, or dramatic background illumination.
COLOR AND FINISH
Use slightly cool green-gray shadows, warm leather, natural skin, and deep interior blacks with gradual tonal transitions.
Apply restrained, fine organic grain consistent with a high-ISO photographic file or modest film scan. Grain must vary naturally with tone, not resemble a dirty texture layer. Preserve pores and ordinary facial imperfections without artificially sharpening them.
OUTPUT
One finished photograph with no text, logos, signatures, or watermark.
AVOID
Famous-actor face substitution, identical faces, oversized hands, duplicated cigars, solid white smoke, sharp detail across every surface, waxy skin, aggressive clarity, excessive teal grading, and a clean architectural perspective that removes the fisheye concept.
