How to use this prompt
Upload reference photos of both people so the AI keeps their faces and features accurate. Keep the mirror selfie angle and elevator setting for realism. You can change outfits or jewelry if you want a different vibe, but keeping the dark tones and silver accents gives the photo its modern, stylish edge.

FAQ
Can I use this prompt with just one person instead of a couple?
Yes — you can leave out the second subject and the AI will generate a solo mirror selfie.
Does it have to be inside an elevator?
No — you can swap the elevator for other mirror settings like a bathroom, gym, or clothing store, but the elevator makes it more stylish and unique.
