Turn this couple photo into a magical New Year midnight portrait. Place us on a rooftop terrace at midnight, city lights glittering below, fireworks bursting in the night sky behind us in gold and white. We wear elegant party outfits — she in a shimmering dress, he in a dark suit — caught mid-laugh, champagne glasses in hand. Dramatic night lighting on our faces from the fireworks' glow, shallow depth of field, cinematic photorealistic detail. Keep both faces, expressions and likeness exactly as in the original photo — change only outfits, setting and lighting.

01What this prompt does
Nobody actually photographs well at midnight on a crowded rooftop — the light is terrible and everyone's shouting. This prompt gives you the moment without the chaos: fireworks frozen mid-burst, city glitter below, you two mid-laugh with champagne. The AI keeps both faces locked and stages the entire countdown around them. The ‘caught mid-laugh’ direction is doing quiet work here — genuine expressions read as real, posed smiles read as generated. Generate twice and keep the frame where the fireworks sit behind you, not on your faces.
02Tips to get the best result
Use a couple photo with both faces clear and reasonably large.
Mid-laugh beats posed — tell the prompt the mood, not just the pose.
Keep fireworks behind you (‘in the night sky behind us’) — bursts over faces look like explosions.
Champagne glasses give hands something natural to do.

Which app?+
Gemini, for night lighting and two-person likeness.
