Sounds magical, right? Want to know how it’s done? Let’s explore the best 20 Gemini AI prompts for couple photos that bring a stunning traditional touch while keeping everything ultra-realistic and natural.
A. Classic Indian Traditional Look
These prompts focus on rich colors, heritage textures, and that royal Indian wedding-style glow.
Prompt 1:
Based on the uploaded photo, apply a hyper-realistic photo-editing filter to enhance textures. Dress the couple in traditional deep-red Indian attire (Lehenga for her, Sherwani for him). Set the scene in a warmly lit indoor palace hall with carved wooden pillars and hanging brass lanterns. Ensure the skin texture and fabric folds are incredibly lifelike, capturing a soft, romantic glow with gentle shadow play.
Prompt 2:
Based on the uploaded photo, transform the scene into a high-detail daytime outdoor portrait with a vintage Indian garden background. Clothe the woman in a light yellow silk Saree and the man in a simple white Kurta-Pajama. Use a sharp-focus realism effect with a slightly bokeh (blurry) background to make the couple pop. Add very subtle, natural sunlight from the side.
Prompt 3:
Based on the uploaded photo, create an ultra-realistic close-up of the couple. Give the photo a rich, painterly, deep-color filter reminiscent of royal portraits. Dress them in heavy embroidered clothing in colors like emerald green and gold. Focus intensely on detailed jewelry and realistic facial expressions. Use soft, studio-quality lighting to minimize harsh shadows.
Prompt 4:
Based on the uploaded photo, edit it to show the couple posing by a traditional Marwari window (Jharokha) at sunset. Clothe them in Rajasthani-style vibrant, mirror-work attire. Apply a highly realistic, cinematic sunset filter with golden and orange tones. Make sure the detail on the window carvings and the clothing embroidery is sharp and clear.
Prompt 5:
Based on the uploaded photo, change the setting to a festive, dimly lit temple courtyard at night. Give the photo an atmospheric realism filter with glowing Diya (clay lamps) light. Dress the couple in simple, traditional cotton attire. The focus must be on the deep, warm shadows and the realistic, flickering effect of the lamp light on their faces.
B. Soft & Ethereal Traditional Look
This section is all about dreamy lighting, natural beauty, and soothing pastel tones.
Prompt 6:
Based on the uploaded photo, give the image an ethereal, ultra-realistic look with soft, diffused natural light. Dress the couple in pastel-colored, traditional Indian wear (light pink, mint green). The background should be a lush, misty forest or riverbank. Apply a very subtle film grain filter for texture and ensure skin tones look incredibly smooth and natural.
Prompt 7:
Based on the uploaded photo, create a high-definition, snowy realism portrait. Dress the man in a traditional heavy shawl and the woman in a velvet Saree or Shawl to suit a cold setting. The background should show realistic, gently falling snow with soft, diffused daylight. Ensure the texture of the warm fabrics is detailed and lifelike.
Prompt 8:
Based on the uploaded photo, transform the image into a realistic indoor portrait set during a morning puja or ceremony. The light must be soft, natural light streaming from a nearby window. Clothe them in white or cream-colored traditional clothing. Use a photo-realism filter that emphasizes the peaceful, clear details of the scene.
Prompt 9:
Based on the uploaded photo, apply an Old World cinematic realism filter with rich, earthy, sepia-toned colors. Dress the couple in simple, handloom-style fabric clothing with a traditional rural village background. The lighting should be harsh, bright midday sun, casting realistic, sharp shadows. Focus on the raw, lifelike textures.
Prompt 10:
Based on the uploaded photo, edit the photo to feature the couple by a traditional stepwell (Baori) at dusk. Dress the woman in a simple, dark-colored cotton Saree and the man in a simple Kurta. Apply an ultra-realistic low-light filter where the deep blue of the sky and the stone texture are clear, using only dim moonlight and soft edge lighting.
C. Regional & Cultural Traditional Styles
India is full of rich regional styles — Bengali, South Indian, Kashmiri, Punjabi, Maharashtrian — each with its own character. These prompts celebrate that diversity.
Prompt 11:
Based on the uploaded photo, create a Bengali traditional look with photorealistic details. Dress the couple in classic red and white attire (White Saree with Red Border, White Kurta). The background should be a traditional courtyard with an old banyan tree. Use a slightly warm, high-contrast filter to highlight the gold jewelry and the deep colors.
Prompt 12:
Based on the uploaded photo, apply a South Indian Kanjeevaram silk look with extreme realism. Clothe the woman in a bright magenta or gold Kanjeevaram Saree and the man in a silk Veshti. The setting should be a temple mandapam with intricate stone carving. Use a brilliant, glossy realism filter to capture the sheen of the silk fabric.
Prompt 13:
Based on the uploaded photo, edit the photo to feature the couple in a Kashmiri traditional setting with ultra-realistic precision. Dress the couple in embroidered Pherans (long traditional robes). The background should be a snow-covered hill or a wooden houseboat (Shikara). Use a cool-toned, bright realism filter to capture the crispness of the air.
Prompt 14:
Based on the uploaded photo, transform the photo into a Punjabi traditional Jago or wedding look. Dress the couple in colorful, heavily-worked Salwar Kameez/Lehenga and Sherwani. The background should be a festive, colorful outdoor tent. Apply an action-shot realism filter with bright, vibrant, slightly moving lighting effects, capturing movement and joy.
Prompt 15:
Based on the uploaded photo, create a Maharashtrian traditional look with a real-life, historical portrait feel. Dress the woman in a traditional Nauvari (nine-yard) Saree and the man in a Pagadi (turban) and Kurta. Set the background as a historic fort wall at midday. Use a high-detail matte finish realism filter.
D. Focus on Unique Artistic Elements
These prompts highlight small but powerful visual details — texture, props, light, and emotion.
Prompt 16:
Based on the uploaded photo, create an ultra-realistic texture-focused edit. Dress the couple in velvet-based traditional clothing in deep jewel tones like sapphire blue. The background should be a simple, dark wall. Use a micro-detail realism filter that makes the velvet texture and the metallic gold thread work look incredibly tangible and deep.
Prompt 17:
Based on the uploaded photo, change the setting to a rainy season (Monsoon) look with photorealistic rain effects. Dress the couple in light, wet-looking traditional clothes. Set them under a traditional stone awning or archway. Use a cool, wet realism filter that captures the shine of the wet stone and the realistic look of water droplets.
Prompt 18:
Based on the uploaded photo, apply a 1940s-style Bollywood glamour filter with deep realism. Dress the couple in classic, tailored traditional wear (flowing Saree, fitted suit/Sherwani). The scene should be a luxurious, dark indoor setting with a single spotlight. Use a dramatic high-contrast realism filter that exaggerates shadows for a film noir look.
Prompt 19:
Based on the uploaded photo, transform the photo into a highly realistic, hand-painted digital art style, while keeping the faces recognizable. Dress the couple in Mughal-era inspired traditional clothing with detailed patterns. The background should be a Persian garden. Use a smooth, detailed digital realism filter that still looks like a very sharp photo.
Prompt 20:
Based on the uploaded photo, edit the photo to have a simple, yet elegant traditional jewelry-focused look. Clothe the couple in simple, plain silk fabrics (cream or beige). The focus must be on ultra-realistic, intricate gold jewelry. Use a bright, clear realism filter where the metal textures and reflections on the jewelry are the sharpest part of the entire image.
