1980s Cinematic Couple Split Bedroom Editorial

What it does

This prompt instructs an AI image editor to take an uploaded couple’s photo and recreate it as a hyper-photorealistic late-1980s split-room editorial portrait: the pair are separated by a wall yet emotionally connected via vintage rotary phones, with one side lit by cool natural daylight and the other by warm tungsten. It emphasizes exact facial preservation, realistic anatomy, authentic film-era camera/film characteristics and lighting (without artificial grading or stylized artifacts), and outputs a high-resolution vertical cinematic image suitable for editorial or concept use.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

imageInputs

This prompt requires exactly 2 images. You must pass exactly 2 image flags (no more, no fewer), in the order matching the descriptions below.

Models and options

This skill's modality is: image.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "image".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "image" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
  • gender_pair (default: two early-twenties lovers.)
  • outfit_details (default: cream blouse and corduroy shirt with soft retro texture.)
• Required images:
  • Exactly 2 images: image 1 (Upload your portrait photo) and image 2 (Upload your crush/lover portrait photo). Images must be provided in this order.
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview and its available options. Look up gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "image") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview, options {}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If the required images are missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: "Please provide images in this order: image 1 (Upload your portrait photo) and image 2 (Upload your crush/lover portrait photo)".

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use 1980s-cinematic-couple-split-bedroom-editorial).

Command form:

betterprompt generate 1980s-cinematic-couple-split-bedroom-editorial \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-path <path>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• Pass each image using --image-input-url or --image-input-path, in the order matching the imageInputs descriptions (image 1 first, then image 2, etc.).
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate 1980s-cinematic-couple-split-bedroom-editorial \
  --input 'gender_pair=two early-twenties lovers.' \
  --input 'outfit_details=cream blouse and corduroy shirt with soft retro texture.' \
  --image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
  --image-input-path /path/to/image2.png \
  --model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview \
  --options '{}'
