What it does
This prompt instructs an image-generation or photo-editing model to produce an ultra-realistic, early-2000s digital-flash couple portrait based on a provided reference image, keeping both subjects’ faces exactly the same while changing the surrounding scene, styling, pose, and camera aesthetics. It specifies an intimate indoor setting with distressed posters, wooden floor clutter, coordinated denim-and-dark outfits, precise body positioning and hand placement, and a harsh compact-camera flash look with warm, slightly washed color and Y2K grain. The intended outcome is a candid-feeling, emotionally grounded, cinematic snapshot-style close-up that preserves identity while delivering a nostalgic editorial result in a horizontal 3:2 frame at very high resolution.

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.
| Index | Required | Description | Allowed CLI flags |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yes | Your photo | --image-input-url <url> or --image-input-path <path> |
| 2 | Yes | Your photo | --image-input-url <url> or --image-input-path <path> |
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 (Your photo). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gemini-2.5-flash-image-previewand its available options. Look upgemini-2.5-flash-image-previewin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"image") and show itsavailableOptionsas: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.
- Present the human with the default model
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 (Your photo)".
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use y2k-denim-lovers-portrait).
Command form:
betterprompt generate y2k-denim-lovers-portrait \
[--image-input-url <url>] \
[--image-input-path <path>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each image using
--image-input-urlor--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
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate y2k-denim-lovers-portrait \
--image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
--image-input-path /path/to/image2.png \
--model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview \
--options '{}'
