📸 WITH PHOTO: Use the uploaded photo as the exact identity reference for the main person. Keep the person's face, facial features, skin texture, hairstyle, age and identity exactly unchanged. Create an extremely realistic 16:9 YouTube food thumbnail in a historic Lucknow street-food lane at night. Use a completely different cinematic composition from previous prompts. Place the main person on the left side of the frame, standing naturally beside an old-fashioned kebab stall and holding a large piece of soft Tunday kebab with roomali roti toward the camera. The main person should look genuinely excited about the food, but maintain a natural, unscripted expression. On the right side, show an authentic Lucknowi street-food vendor actively cooking kebabs on a large flat iron griddle, with subtle smoke rising from the sizzling meat. Create a powerful foreground-to-background perspective: the lower-right foreground should contain a large realistic food spread of Tunday kebabs, seekh kebabs, roomali roti, onions, mint chutney, lemon wedges and spicy sauces, with the food closest to the camera appearing naturally larger. Exactly 4 real-looking customers should appear behind the vendor, naturally eating and waiting around the stall. Give each person a different pose and expression so they look like genuine people rather than duplicated AI characters.

Add subtle cooking smoke and natural night atmosphere. Use an asymmetrical cinematic layout with the main person on the left, vendor on the right and food sweeping diagonally across the bottom. Leave a clean darker area in the upper-center for typography. Add bold professional food-vlog text there: “LUCKNOW FOOD TOUR” in large hand-painted brush lettering, with “TUNDAY KEBAB” underneath in smaller bold uppercase lettering. The text should look like professionally designed YouTube thumbnail typography and must not cover faces or food. Realistic warm street lighting, natural shadows, authentic skin pores, genuine facial expressions, realistic kebab texture, natural grease and cooking marks, believable smoke, imperfect real-world food presentation, subtle background blur, handheld full-frame camera, 35mm lens, realistic depth of field, documentary street-food photography, natural color grading, photorealistic, looks like an actual photograph taken by a professional food vlogger, no CGI, no illustration, no plastic skin, no beauty filter, no fantasy lighting, no excessive HDR, no artificial perfection, no AI-generated appearance. 🚫 WITHOUT PHOTO: Create an extremely realistic 16:9 YouTube food thumbnail in a historic Lucknow street-food lane at night.

📸 WITH PHOTO: Use the uploaded photo as the exact identity reference for the main person. Keep the person's face, facial features, skin texture, hairstyle, age, body proportions and identity exactly unchanged. Create an extremely realistic 16:9 YouTube food thumbnail at a lively Goa beachside street-food market during late afternoon. Make the composition completely different from previous designs. Place the main person on the far left, standing beside a colorful roadside seafood cart and naturally holding a large plate of freshly fried crispy prawns toward the camera. The prawns should look genuinely fried, slightly irregular, oily and extremely appetizing, with visible crispy coating, lemon wedges, onions and spicy red-green chutneys. On the right side, show a real-looking local seafood vendor actively frying prawns in a large black iron kadai over a portable gas burner. Capture the moment with subtle sizzling oil, natural steam and a small amount of cooking smoke. Create a large perspective food counter across the bottom of the frame, filled with crispy prawns, fish fry, squid rings, crab pieces, lemon, onions, coconut chutney and small steel bowls of spicy sauces. Food closest to the camera should naturally appear larger without looking artificially enlarged. Exactly 4 natural-looking people should appear in the background: two customers sitting on simple stools eating seafood and two standing near the cart waiting for their order. Give every person different clothing, posture and facial expression. The background should clearly feel like Goa: sandy beach visible in the distance, palm trees, colorful beach shacks, scooters, wooden seafood signs and warm sunset atmosphere. Keep the background busy but naturally blurred. Use a wide cinematic perspective with an off-center composition, main person on the left, vendor on the right and food creating a sweeping visual line across the bottom. Leave the upper-right sky area relatively clean for typography. Add professional YouTube thumbnail typography in the upper-right: “GOA STREET FOOD” in large bold handwritten brush lettering, with “CRISPY PRAWNS” underneath in smaller clean uppercase text.

Keep the person's face, facial features, skin texture, hairstyle, age, body proportions and identity exactly unchanged. Create an extremely realistic 16:9 YouTube food thumbnail at a busy Delhi street-food market during a rainy evening. Create a completely different composition and visual style from the previous prompts. Place the main person on the far right side, standing under a small transparent street-stall canopy and naturally holding an open bamboo steamer filled with steaming hot momos toward the camera. The person's expression should feel spontaneous and genuinely excited about the food, not like a posed studio portrait. On the left side, show a street-food vendor preparing momos over a large stainless-steel steamer. Capture realistic steam rising from the steamer and small water droplets from the rainy weather. Make the extreme foreground dramatically close to the camera, with several plates of steamed momos, tandoori momos, spicy red chutney, creamy dip, spring onions, coriander and sliced onions. The closest plate should naturally appear larger due to lens perspective. Exactly 4 different people should appear behind the main subjects: two customers standing under umbrellas and two eating beside the stall. Their poses, clothing and expressions should all be different and natural. The background should show a Delhi night market transformed by rain—wet road reflecting shop lights, colorful Hindi signs, umbrellas, scooters, auto-rickshaw lights, crowded pedestrians and small food stalls. Add realistic rain droplets and reflections, but keep the scene believable rather than overly cinematic. Use a diagonal composition, with the foreground food starting from the lower-left and visually leading toward the main person on the right. Use a slightly low 24mm wide-angle handheld camera for an energetic food-vlogger perspective. Place the typography in the upper-left area: “DELHI STREET FOOD” in large bold handwritten brush lettering, with “HOT MOMOS” underneath in smaller uppercase text. Use clean professional YouTube-thumbnail typography, highly readable and naturally integrated into the scene without covering faces or food. Natural rainy evening lighting, realistic reflections, genuine steam, realistic wet surfaces, authentic Indian skin pores, natural facial expressions, imperfect food presentation, believable crowd behavior, subtle background motion blur, handheld full-frame DSLR photography, realistic depth of field, natural colors, documentary street-food photography, looks like a genuine photograph taken by a food vlogger in Delhi, no CGI, no illustration, no plastic skin, no artificial beauty filter, no excessive HDR, no fantasy lighting, no duplicated people, no artificial perfection, no AI-generated appearance. 🚫 WITHOUT PHOTO: Create an extremely realistic 16:9 YouTube food thumbnail at a busy Delhi street-food market during a rainy evening.
