AI Couple Wallpaper Portrait Prompt – Realistic 3:4 Lock Screen Photo
A close-up couple shot made for a phone lock screen, with warm light, natural skin texture and soft blur. Use ChatGPT and a reference photo to recreate it.
Prompt
IMAGE EDIT / FULL REPLACEMENT PROMPT
Use Reference Image 1 as the exact visual/composition reference and Reference Image 2 or 3 as the character identity reference.
Recreate the visual concept of Reference Image 1 as a highly realistic photographic portrait while replacing the original people with the person/people from the supplied character reference.
SUBJECT & IDENTITY
Preserve the exact facial identity, facial proportions, skin texture, hairstyle, hairline, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, facial hair, earrings/accessories and other defining physical characteristics of the supplied character reference.
If the supplied identity reference is male, keep the male appearance.
If the supplied identity reference is female, keep the female appearance.
Do NOT create a generic AI face. The character must clearly retain the specific identity and physical characteristics from the supplied reference sheet.
COMPOSITION — PRIORITY
Match Reference Image 1 extremely closely.
Create an intimate extreme close-up two-person portrait, with the two faces occupying almost the entire frame and positioned very close together.
The composition should reproduce the same:
- face placement
- crop
- camera distance
- relative scale of both faces
- eye placement
- head positioning
- facial orientation
- negative space
- framing
- perspective
- visual balance
The subject's eyes and head must face in the same direction and at the same angle as the corresponding person in Reference Image 1.
Do not randomly change the gaze direction, head tilt, eye angle, facial rotation or facial expression.
POSE & BODY POSITION
Preserve the exact visible pose and positioning from Reference Image 1.
Keep the hand/arm position identical to the reference wherever hands are visible.
Do not invent a new pose.
Do not alter the gesture simply to make the image aesthetically different.
The final result should look as though the person from the supplied character reference was naturally photographed in the exact scene and pose of Reference Image 1.
LIGHTING
Reproduce the lighting from Reference Image 1:
- warm golden-hour illumination
- soft directional sunlight
- realistic highlights on skin
- natural facial shadows
- subtle sunlight/shadow patterns across the face
- warm amber skin tones
- soft cinematic contrast
- realistic reflected light
- gentle highlights in the hair
- physically believable light falloff
Lighting must interact naturally with the replacement person's facial structure.
CAMERA & PHOTOGRAPHY
Use a professional smartphone-camera / premium portrait-photography aesthetic.
Extreme close-up framing.
Natural perspective.
Realistic lens characteristics.
Very shallow depth of field.
Subtle optical softness toward the background and peripheral areas.
Realistic skin pores, tiny facial imperfections, fine hair strands and natural texture.
Avoid excessive HDR, artificial sharpening, plastic skin or overprocessed beauty retouching.
The result must look like a real photograph captured with a modern flagship smartphone, not an AI-generated artwork.
COZY BLURRED LOOK
Apply the same cozy, warm, slightly blurred photographic treatment visible in Reference Image 1.
Use:
- soft cinematic diffusion
- subtle lens softness
- warm tonal grading
- gentle background blur
- natural bloom around bright highlights
- slight photographic grain
- realistic depth
- soft shadows
Keep the image polished but not artificially perfect.
REALISM REQUIREMENT
This is a photorealistic identity-preserving image replacement, not a creative reinterpretation.
Avoid:
- generic AI facial features
- waxy skin
- overly smooth skin
- exaggerated eyes
- distorted pupils
- unnatural teeth
- duplicated facial features
- malformed ears
- incorrect hair strands
- artificial facial symmetry
- CGI appearance
- illustration-like rendering
- excessive cinematic effects
- unrealistic skin colors
- face morphing artifacts
- inconsistent identity
Every facial feature must remain anatomically coherent.
HAIR
Preserve the hairstyle and hair characteristics from the supplied character reference.
Individual hair strands should remain naturally detailed.
Hair must interact realistically with the warm light and shadows.
Do not replace the reference hairstyle with a generic hairstyle.
BACKGROUND & ENVIRONMENT
Reproduce the same visual environment, color atmosphere, depth and blurred background treatment as Reference Image 1.
Keep the background visually subordinate to the faces.
Do not introduce unrelated objects, scenery or decorative elements.
TEXT / LOCK-SCREEN ELEMENT
Keep ONLY the lock-screen time/date typography from Reference Image 1.
Display:
7:40
Sunday, 7 September
Keep the typography:
- white
- thin
- clean
- centered
- minimal
- similar in scale and placement to Reference Image 1
- naturally integrated into the photograph
Remove everything else from the original social-media screenshot.
REMOVE ALL UNNECESSARY UI
Strictly remove:
- Instagram interface
- profile picture
- username
- Follow button
- likes
- comments
- share icon
- save icon
- navigation icons
- captions
- post indicators
- carousel indicators
- notification icons
- status bar
- phone navigation bar
- unnecessary lines
- borders
- logos
- watermarks
- creator names
- usernames
- social-media text
- interface elements
The final output must look like the clean original wallpaper/photograph, NOT a screenshot of Instagram.
FINAL IMAGE
Make the final photograph feel naturally captured in one shot.
The identity reference controls who the person is.
Reference Image 1 controls composition, pose, camera angle, lighting, framing, expression direction, visual atmosphere and overall photographic style.
Do not compromise either reference.
OUTPUT FORMAT: 3:4 VERTICAL INSTAGRAM POST — MANDATORY.
High-resolution, photorealistic, natural skin texture, realistic optics, professional photography, seamless integration, anatomically correct, identity consistent throughout the entire image.
About this image
Two faces are cropped so tightly that each shows only one half, his on the left and hers on the right, touching in the middle of the frame. He wears black rectangular sunglasses with curls falling over the forehead and a short beard, and she looks straight into the lens with one brown eye, long hair across her cheek. Warm light throws soft shadow patterns across both faces. A lock-screen clock, 7:40 and Sunday, 7 September, sits in thin white type at the top.
Upload this image first in ChatGPT, then a clear photo of the man or woman you want to swap in. The prompt keeps the crop, light and gaze from the scene and only keeps the clock text, removing everything else from the screenshot.
You can change the time and date in the prompt to a day that means something to you, like an anniversary.
Creator's tip: the prompt asks for 3:4, so if you want it on a phone lock screen, ask for a taller 9:16 version too.
