The prompt behind this image
Copy the exact prompt behind Steampunk Hands Holding Old Photo, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
Using REFERENCE_0 as a rough composition and camera-position guide, turn the sketch into a cinematic steampunk scene: two brass mechanical hands in the foreground hold a worn, sepia-toned old photograph at the same angle and position indicated by the reference. Set the outer scene inside a vintage train carriage with dark leather seats, warm wood trim, a window on the left, and moody amber lighting. Inside the photograph, show an antique street scene in front of a clockwork repair shop: exactly 2 main subjects, a kneeling adult inventor with a blurred/obscured face and a small round-bodied robot standing beside them. Add aged photo details including creases, scuffed corners, yellowed borders, and faded monochrome-brown coloration. Keep the overall look photorealistic, cinematic, detailed, and nostalgic, with shallow depth of field outside the photograph. Customizable details: {argument name="outer setting" default="vintage train carriage"}, {argument name="photo subject setting" default="clockwork repair shop street"}, {argument name="main human role" default="adult inventor"}, {argument name="companion character" default="small round-bodied robot"}, {argument name="color mood" default="warm sepia steampunk"}. Constraints: preserve the reference composition of hands framing a tilted rectangular photo; include exactly 2 visible mechanical hands holding exactly 1 photograph; include exactly 2 main figures inside the photo; avoid modern objects, clean digital UI, or extra text beyond shop signage.
