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.

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.
