Vintage Couple Duo Shot

What it does

This prompt instructs an image generator to recreate a nostalgic early-2000s Y2K mirror-selfie aesthetic by producing a vertical diptych of the same couple in a tiled, yellow-green bathroom setting, shot with harsh compact-digital-camera flash, visible glare, noise, and lo-fi JPEG artifacts. It specifies two stacked panels with different moods—an intimate pose on top and a playful pose on the bottom—while tightly controlling wardrobe, framing, lighting, and color cast to mimic a 2–5 MP consumer camera look. The intended outcome is a photorealistic, imperfect, flash-blown, warm green-tinted double selfie that feels authentic to Myspace-era digital photography, with the couple’s likeness preserved exactly as in the provided references.

Inputs

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:

• Required images:
  • Exactly 2 images: image 1 (Your photo) and image 2 (Photo of your crush, lover or friend). 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 (Your photo) and image 2 (Photo of your crush, lover or friend)".

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use vintage-couple-duo-shot).

Command form:

betterprompt generate vintage-couple-duo-shot \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-path <path>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• 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 vintage-couple-duo-shot \
  --image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
  --image-input-path /path/to/image2.png \
  --model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview \
  --options '{}'
