"prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the people from the provided photos as the main subjects. Preserve their core likeness. Create an Ultra-Photorealistic, Movie-Quality scene depicting Subject 1 (male) and Subject 2 (female) as covert spies meeting on a foggy, iron bridge during the Cold War. The image must look like a frame from a high-budget blockbuster movie shot on Arri Alexa. Use cinematic lighting to create deep shadows and highlights. The scene is highly detailed with a shallow depth of field. Subject 1 is handing off a secret package to Subject 2. The composition adheres to a cinematic 1:1 aspect ratio.",
