# Y2k Denim Lovers Portrait

> 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.

## 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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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-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 (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:

```bash
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-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):

```bash
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 '{}'
```
