Polaroid With Your Younger Self

Create a Polaroid-style instant photo of the two people in these images hugging: the adult from the first photo and the child from the second, as if the grown-up met their younger self. Keep both faces exactly as they are: the adult’s features, skin tone and age, and the child’s features and age, unchanged. Keep each person’s outfit from their photo. Shoot it with direct on-camera flash in a dark room: bright light on their faces, deep shadows behind, slight motion blur from the moment. Behind them, a plain white curtain. Give it the look of real instant film: soft contrast, slightly faded colours, gentle grain and a faint warm cast, inside a thick white Polaroid border with a wider bottom edge. Natural scale between adult and child. No text, no extra people.
