Preserve each person's recognizable identity from the reference: eye shape, nose, mouth, face shape, skin tone, approximate age, distinctive features, and natural skin texture. Change only the hairstyle, clothing, pose, lighting, and background. For group photos, map each face to the correct person, keep the exact number of people, and prevent identity blending or face swapping. Do not make absolute promises about an identical face. Treat each reference face as a separate identity and preserve the stated four-person order before applying the living-room snapshot scene. Keep the approved clothing, pose, and background unchanged.

Full prompt
Create a candid 1986 family photograph using the uploaded reference images. Show exactly four family members together in one living room, preserving each person's identity and their left-to-right order from the references: adult 1 on the left, child 1 seated in front, child 2 seated beside them, adult 2 on the right. Use believable 1980s living-room details such as a patterned sofa, wood panel accents, a CRT television, and a modest holiday decoration, with no modern electronics or logos. Light the scene with direct on-camera flash and warm household lamps, natural imperfect smiles, relaxed overlapping poses, and a 35mm consumer color-film snapshot look with fine grain and mild red-eye risk kept under control. Use a horizontal group composition with enough headroom and all hands visible.
