## Prompt

```text
Create a nostalgic editorial photo-to-sketch artbook page based on the reference image. Preserve the same subjects, pose, facial expressions, clothing, composition, and emotional atmosphere from the original photograph. Divide the page vertically into two connected sections: the upper section is a cinematic, ultra-realistic photograph with {lighting}, subtle film grain, shallow depth of field, authentic colors, and an intimate candid feeling; the lower section transforms the exact same scene and characters into a {drawing_style} on {paper_texture}, with expressive imperfect lines, rough cross-hatching, minimal shading, and a handmade sketchbook aesthetic. Add tasteful editorial typography around the illustration, including a small numbered title, short poetic handwritten-style caption, and tiny documentary-style notes, creating the feeling of a premium contemporary photography journal or Japanese-inspired visual diary. Keep generous cream-colored negative space, subtle paper texture, slightly imperfect ink printing, understated vintage layout, sophisticated minimalist graphic design, emotionally warm and cinematic, cohesive transition between photograph and drawing, high detail, natural proportions, authentic human anatomy, no watermark, no logos.
