Why this prompt works

Most 'couple' prompts produce glossy engagement-shoot images. This one is written to avoid exactly that: it asks for ordinary, not model-like people, a 35mm eye-level frame with imperfect composition, real skin without retouching, subtle halation and gate weave, and a negative list that bans studio light, HDR, 'AI glow' and posed romance-poster looks. The scene is very specific (Istanbul's Moda seafront, a cherry-print dress, simit crumbs on hands), and that specificity is what makes it believable. Our result shows the couple laughing over their bread with gulls and the sea behind them. Adapt the location, food and clothing for local tourism, cafés or lifestyle brands.

How to adapt it

Variable	What it changes	Examples
Moda seaside in Istanbul	location	a Lisbon tram stop, a Busan beach boardwalk
eating simit	shared food and action	sharing gelato, splitting a baguette
pink dress with colorful cherry pattern / denim and white t-shirt	wardrobe	yellow sundress / linen shirt

Tips

Keep the negative list; it is what removes the polished 'AI couple' look.
Change one detail at a time (location, food, outfit) so the candid style survives.
Use 4:5 for feeds; the prompt is tuned to that ratio.
