PROMPT OF THE MONTH

GEMINI FEVER AROUND THE INTERNET

Make an image that looks like it was taken with a Polaroid camera. It should feel like an ordinary, candid photo with no prominent subject or props. Add a slight blur and keep a consistent light source, like a flash in a dark room, diffused across the entire frame. Do not alter the faces. Replace the background behind the two people with white curtains, with the girl/ boy hugging the other person.
