Use the uploaded reference photo as the primary identity reference. Preserve the subject’s exact facial identity, facial proportions, hairstyle, hair color, skin tone, body shape, clothing, pose, and natural expression without unwanted identity changes.

Transform the photograph into a dark, emotional Instagram heartbreak memories edit with a cinematic black-and-grey aesthetic.

Create a faded, softly blurred black-grey background with atmospheric depth. Behind the subject, integrate a large semi-transparent Instagram-inspired profile interface. Show a minimal default profile avatar, the username "{username}", and recognizable profile-style controls for Profile, Search, Mute, and Options. Keep the interface slightly faded and naturally blended into the background so it supports rather than overwhelms the portrait.

Position the subject prominently at the bottom center of the composition. Preserve realistic anatomy, natural skin texture, facial details, clothing texture, and the original photographic character. Add a subtle soft rim glow and realistic diffused shadow around the subject to separate them from the background without creating an artificial cutout appearance.

Add large, bold white typography reading:

"{headline_text}"

Directly underneath, add:

"..."

Include small 💔 😔 emotional elements and subtle faded chat-message overlays in the background to suggest memories of an ended relationship. Keep these secondary details partially obscured and atmospheric.

Apply fine cinematic film grain, floating dust particles, very subtle motion blur, soft vignette, controlled highlight bloom, deep blacks, muted grey tones, low-saturation moody color grading, high contrast, and dramatic cinematic lighting.

The final result should feel like a premium emotional social-media edit or Instagram Reel cover: intimate, nostalgic, melancholic, polished, and photorealistic.

Ultra-realistic photography, realistic skin pores and facial texture, natural human proportions, professional photo compositing, cinematic depth, premium editorial finish, 4K detail.

Avoid: altered facial identity, face reshaping, different hairstyle, changed clothing, artificial skin, excessive smoothing, distorted hands or anatomy, duplicate body parts, oversaturated colors, cartoon styling, anime styling, illustration, plastic-looking face, obvious AI artifacts, cluttered interface, unreadable main typography, excessive glow, or unrealistic compositing.

Prompt Architecture & Anatomy
1. Identity Preservation

The prompt begins with a strong reference-image constraint so the generation/editing model prioritizes the original subject's facial identity, hairstyle, body proportions, clothing, pose, and expression.

2. Emotional Visual Direction

Terms such as dark emotional, heartbreak memories, nostalgic, low saturation, and black-grey establish a consistent emotional art direction.

3. Social-Media Storytelling

The oversized profile interface and faded chat overlays communicate the relationship-memory concept without requiring a complicated scene.

4. Subject Separation

A restrained rim glow, diffused shadow, and background blur help the subject remain visually dominant while avoiding an artificial sticker/cutout appearance.

5. Photorealism Controls

Skin texture, realistic anatomy, controlled lighting, film grain, and explicit negative constraints reduce common AI-generated portrait artifacts.

Reference-image identity accuracy, exact typography, emoji rendering, and complex social-media UI elements may vary by image model. Some generators may produce inaccurate interface text or icons; post-generation typography/compositing may provide more reliable results. Reviewed By (Author Entity) Sushil Joshi
