The selected story prompts below come from the source project. They were recorded with GPT Image 2.5 via Higgsfield, high quality, 1K, 9:16. Keep the bundled filenames if replacing assets. Export stories as 752 x 1344 JPEGs; all assets load locally.
The exact portrait generation prompts were not retained with the source. This is a replacement recipe, not an exact reconstruction:
Create a square candid head-and-shoulders portrait of a fictional adult. Natural expression, soft window light, a quiet warm-neutral background, realistic skin texture, distinct age, hair, and clothing. Face centered with generous circular-crop safety. No text, logos, frame, or watermark.
Use a consistent visual style across the 14 portraits. The team avatar is a pale sculptural glass orb.
Early morning at a rented cabin on a still lake in the Swedish forest. View from the end of an old weathered wooden jetty: thin mist lifting off glassy dark water, a dense line of pine and birch on the far shore, and on the near shore a small red-painted wooden sauna hut with white trim and a thin wisp of woodsmoke rising from its tin chimney. At the bottom of the frame, her own bare feet on the wet grey planks next to a chipped white enamel mug of steaming coffee. Soft overcast dawn light, cool blue-green tones with a touch of warm light in the smoke.

A real, candid, unposed moment, not an advertisement and not a stock photo. No text, captions, stickers, logos, watermark, border or phone interface.
Face reference: avatars/theo.jpg.
It is the same person as in the reference photo: keep the face, features, hair and skin tone exactly, but this is a casual phone photo, not a studio portrait. Late at night in his small home music studio, photographed from the side by a friend sitting on the couch. He leans toward a laptop and two studio monitors with big over-ear headphones on, one hand on a small MIDI keyboard, eyes closed, head tilted, lost in the track. Warm tungsten desk lamp, the cool glow of the laptop screen on his face, acoustic foam on the wall, a stack of vinyl records and a half-drunk mug of tea on the desk, city lights through the window behind. Low light: visible grain and a little motion blur in his hand.

Late dinner at a crowded little Italian place on Bleecker Street, New York, shot across the table: a plate of rigatoni alla vodka with basil and a snowdrift of parmesan in the foreground, a friend's hand reaching in with a fork, two glasses of wine, a candle, a paper check folder, and the steamed-up front window with the street lights and a yellow cab blurred outside. Warm, crowded, candid, phone night-mode look with fine noise.

Face reference: avatars/sofia.jpg.
It is the same person as in the reference photo: keep the face, features, hair and skin tone exactly, but this is a casual phone photo, not a studio portrait. An arm's-length selfie of her and her mother in her mother's kitchen, cheek to cheek, both laughing. Her mother, a Mexican woman in her sixties with grey-streaked hair pulled back and reading glasses on her head, holds up a freshly unwrapped tamal in its husk. Behind them: a steaming pot on the stove, a string of dried chiles, a window with warm afternoon sun. Slight wide-angle selfie perspective, natural skin, not retouched.

It is the same person as in the reference photo: keep the face, features, hair and skin tone exactly, but this is a casual phone photo, not a studio portrait. A selfie in the back seat of a car in Lagos, an hour after landing: sunglasses pushed up on her head, a light sheen of heat on her skin, laughing, fanning herself with one hand. Through the open window behind her: golden late-afternoon haze over the lagoon from Third Mainland Bridge, the Lagos skyline soft in the heat and a yellow bus in the traffic. Hot, warm light and a little lens flare.

Late afternoon on a sofa by a big window during a rain shower. Point of view: her legs in soft grey trousers and wool socks stretched out, a printed article resting on her knees covered in pencil notes too small to read, a mug of mint tea on the windowsill, a sleeping tabby cat curled against her leg, rain on the window and blurred city roofs outside. Soft, grey, cosy light.

Early evening on a bike ride along the river Spree in Berlin: point of view from the saddle of a black city bike, his hands in the frame on the handlebar with a paper coffee cup in the holder, the cobbled riverside path, the Oberbaum Bridge's red brick towers ahead, golden low sun and long shadows, a few people sitting on the river wall. A little motion blur on the ground.

Inside a small risograph print studio in a Tokyo backstreet. His hands hold a freshly printed poster up to the light: an abstract two-colour print in fluorescent pink and teal with visible grain and slight misregistration, no lettering. Behind, out of focus: a riso duplicator machine, reams of paper, prints clipped to a drying line and ink drums with unreadable labels. Mixed window daylight and fluorescent tube light.

A red clay tennis court at a Paris neighbourhood club at dusk, just as the floodlights come on. On the green courtside bench: two rackets, a newly opened can of bright yellow balls, a towel and a steel water bottle. The white lines are slightly smudged, orange clay dust on his white shoes at the bottom of the frame. Behind the fence: chestnut trees and the zinc rooftops of Haussmann buildings against a violet sky.

Early morning on a glassy alpine lake. Point of view from the back seat of a wooden canoe: a paddle resting across his knees in faded olive trousers, and at the bow a wet golden retriever sitting upright, looking out at the water. Mist on the lake, steep forested mountains reflected, the first sun catching the peaks. Cold, clear light.

Sunrise run on the Great South Wall in Dublin Bay: point of view looking down the long granite breakwater toward the red Poolbeg lighthouse, the sun low over the Irish Sea, wet stone, a few gulls, his running shoes at the bottom of the frame.

A small podcast studio at night: two broadcast microphones on arms, a pair of headphones, a printed script with handwritten notes too small to read, a mug of tea and a glowing red light on the wall, seen from her seat with her hand resting on the desk.

Dawn at Ipanema beach, Rio de Janeiro: point of view looking down at his feet in the wet sand and the tail of a surfboard under his arm, small clean waves breaking, the Dois Irmãos mountains glowing pink at the end of the beach, a few early surfers in the water.
