Create a photorealistic portrait that reimagines the man in the uploaded reference as he might have appeared in Kerala during the 1980s.

IDENTITY
Keep his identity unmistakably intact: facial structure, eyes, nose, lips, skin tone, age, expression and natural body proportions must remain faithful to the reference. Use the upload as an identity guide, not as a styling guide.

HAIR AND GROOMING
Replace the present hairstyle with a genuinely period-appropriate 1980s cut selected for his face shape, forehead, hair texture and density. Choose naturally between a full side part, feathered layers, brushed-back waves, a rounded cut, a voluminous side-comb or another credible style of that decade. Do not use a modern fade, undercut or sharp barber line-up.

Respect his natural facial-hair status. If he has a beard, retain a beard but reshape it into a softer, fuller 1980s form that suits his jaw. If he is clean-shaven, keep him clean-shaven or add only an era-suitable moustache when natural. Restyle any moustache and sideburns to match the decade. Avoid boxed beard edges and contemporary stubble design.

CLOTHING
Build a distinct 1980s Indian outfit inspired by the main colours in the reference. Select what suits him: a wide-collar tucked shirt, safari shirt, checked or striped shirt, knit polo, denim layer, pleated high-waist trousers, straight trousers or slightly flared pants. Add a leather belt and suitable period footwear. The styling must read as 1980s immediately, not modern clothing with a filter.

ACCESSORIES
Use only a few natural period accessories—perhaps an analog watch, aviator glasses, a pen in the pocket, restrained gold chain, vintage ring, leather wallet or shoulder bag. Vary the selection and avoid making it costume-like.

KERALA SETTING AND POSE
Choose one believable 1980s Kerala environment that suits his expression, framing and personality: a tiled-house veranda, coconut-lined village road, small-town market, old cinema frontage, college corridor, bus stand, ferry jetty, bakery, tea-shop exterior, monsoon street, coastal road, repair shop or village junction. Period vehicles may appear only when they improve the scene. Do not automatically use an Ambassador car.

Give him a natural pose appropriate to the place—standing confidently, sitting on steps, walking, leaning on a pillar, looking away, adjusting glasses or resting one hand in a pocket. Avoid repeating a stock pose.

PHOTOGRAPHIC FINISH
Make it feel captured on film in the 1980s: warm analog colour, restrained Kodachrome character, fine grain, soft highlights, gentle contrast, realistic pores and fabric, modest optical imperfection, natural cinematic light and accurate period details. The result must be a believable old photograph, not a modern editorial shoot with a retro preset.

Output: vertical 9:16, photorealistic, highly detailed, realistic anatomy and hands, recognisable identity.

Avoid: present-day haircuts, modern beard shaping, smartphones, smartwatches, LED signs, current advertisements, modern cars or buildings, repeated styling, artificial plastic skin, excessive retouching, CGI, illustration, anime, face distortion, extra fingers or limbs, and incorrect proportions.

Create a photorealistic portrait that places the woman from the uploaded reference in a stylish Kerala scene from the 1980s.

IDENTITY
Preserve her recognisable identity: facial structure, eyes, nose, lips, skin tone, age, expression and natural proportions. The uploaded photo guides identity only; completely redesign the styling and surroundings.

HAIRSTYLE
Select a true 1980s hairstyle that flatters her face, forehead, jawline, hair density, texture and length. Possible directions include voluminous curls, a feathered blowout, a soft perm, large bouncy waves, a teased crown, a high side ponytail, crimped texture, a layered shoulder-length cut, rounded curls or a dramatic side part. Make an individual choice instead of applying the same hair to everyone. Avoid sleek modern blowouts, curtain bangs, balayage, wolf cuts and contemporary beach waves.

FASHION
Restyle her in bold western fashion from the 1980s while drawing colour inspiration from the reference. Choose a flattering combination such as acid-wash high-waist jeans, tapered mom jeans, pleated trousers, a retro skirt, puff-sleeve blouse, batwing top, oversized tucked sweatshirt, denim jacket, colourful coordinated set or period jumpsuit. Do not use a saree, kurti, salwar, lehenga or other traditional outfit for this concept. The clothes should be clearly vintage in cut, fabric and proportion—not ordinary modern jeans with a retro colour grade.

ACCESSORIES
Choose a restrained, individual mix: chunky earrings, colourful bangles, a scrunchie, hair clips, wide belt, analog watch, layered bracelet, retro sunglasses or a compact vintage handbag. Accessories should support the outfit without overwhelming it.

KERALA SETTING AND POSE
Place her in one fitting Kerala location from the period: a tiled-roof courtyard, old town street, cinema exterior with hand-painted poster art, bakery frontage, textile lane, railway platform, college corridor, ferry jetty, riverside, market lane, heritage bungalow, monsoon road, seaside street or an old house balcony. Select the environment from her mood and pose; do not default to the same tea shop, railway station or car.

Create natural interaction with the setting. She may walk, lean against a wall or veranda pillar, sit on steps, look back toward the camera, stand near a shop or hold a relaxed candid pose. Keep facial expression authentic.

PHOTOGRAPHIC FINISH
Render the scene like an actual 1980s Kerala photograph with warm film colour, delicate grain, soft highlights, gentle contrast, natural skin, realistic hair and fabric, small analog imperfections, believable era details and available cinematic light. Do not make it look like a current fashion shoot with a vintage filter.

Output: vertical 9:16, photorealistic, cinematic, highly detailed, natural anatomy and hands, accurate identity.

Avoid: modern hair trends, skinny-jean styling, contemporary crop tops, traditional Indian dress for this specific concept, repeated costume or location, smartphones, LEDs, modern signage, current vehicles or architecture, plastic skin, CGI, cartoon or anime rendering, distorted face, duplicate limbs, extra fingers and unrealistic proportions.

Create a photorealistic 1980s Kerala couple portrait using either one photograph containing both people or two separate identity reference photographs.

TWO DISTINCT IDENTITIES
Identify the man and woman separately. Preserve each person’s facial structure, eyes, nose, lips, skin tone, age, expression, height relationship and body proportions. Never blend, swap or average their features. If two photos are supplied, bring the people together naturally in one coherent scene. Treat the uploads as identity references rather than styling references.

MAN: HAIR AND GROOMING
Give the man an individual 1980s hairstyle suited to his face and natural hair—perhaps a full side part, feathered layers, brushed-back waves, rounded volume or a classic longer combed cut. Preserve whether he naturally has a beard. Restyle existing facial hair into a softer, period-accurate beard or moustache with suitable sideburns. If he has no beard, do not force one. Avoid fades, undercuts, sharp line-ups and modern sculpted edges.

WOMAN: HAIRSTYLE
Replace her current hair styling with a flattering 1980s choice based on her face and texture: full curls, feathered volume, soft perm, large waves, teased crown, side ponytail, half-up styling, crimped texture or a rounded short cut. Avoid modern curtain bangs, sleek influencer blowouts, balayage, wolf cuts and beach waves.

COUPLE FASHION
Dress both in authentic 1980s clothing. Use the colour families in their reference images as inspiration, but redesign every garment. Their looks should harmonise without being identical.

For him, consider a wide-collar tucked shirt, safari shirt, checks, stripes, knit polo, denim layer, pleated high-waist trousers or straight/slightly flared pants with a leather belt and period footwear.

For her, create a western-retro outfit such as acid-wash or stone-wash high-waist denim, tapered trousers, a skirt, puff-sleeve or batwing top, colourful blouse, denim jacket, coordinated set or jumpsuit. For this concept, do not use saree, kurti, salwar or lehenga.

Give each person only accessories that genuinely fit: analog watches, aviator or retro sunglasses, subtle jewellery, belt, handbag, scrunchie, bangles, pen or leather shoulder bag. Do not repeat a fixed accessory set.

POSE AND CHEMISTRY
Show warm, tasteful couple chemistry through believable body language. They might walk together, stand shoulder to shoulder, sit on steps, talk casually, lightly hold an arm, lean toward one another or exchange a relaxed glance. Choose a pose that respects their natural height and proportions; avoid an exaggerated romance pose.

KERALA SETTING
Choose a single period-correct Kerala environment that complements both people: a tiled-home veranda, village road, old town market, cinema frontage, bakery or hotel entrance, textile street, college courtyard, bus stand, railway platform, ferry jetty, riverside, heritage corridor, monsoon street, coastal road or village junction. A vintage scooter, bicycle, bus, jeep or Ambassador may appear only when natural to the scene—not as a compulsory prop.

PHOTOGRAPHIC FINISH
The final picture must feel genuinely photographed in Kerala during the 1980s. Use warm analog rendering, restrained Kodachrome-like colour, fine grain, soft highlights, gentle contrast, natural skin, realistic hair and fabric, small film imperfections, period-correct details and believable natural light.

Output: vertical 9:16, photorealistic, cinematic, high detail, natural couple chemistry, realistic anatomy and hands, two accurate identities.

Avoid: merged or swapped faces, altered identity, identical-looking people, modern hairstyles or grooming, contemporary clothing, matching costumes, repeated poses or locations, smartphones, smartwatches, LEDs, current advertising, present-day vehicles or architecture, plastic skin, heavy beauty retouching, CGI, cartoon, anime, distorted faces, extra fingers or limbs, and unrealistic height or proportions.
