  "description": "A gritty, cinematic portrait of a hard-boiled detective waiting for a lead in a hazy, underground jazz lounge.",
  "prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the person from the provided photo as the main subject. Preserve the core likeness. Transform Subject 1 (male) into a weary 1950s private investigator seated in a plush velvet booth within a smoke-filled jazz club. Render the image as an ultra-photorealistic movie still, utilizing cinematic lighting that emphasizes the texture of his skin and the swirling smoke around him. The image must be highly detailed, shot on Arri Alexa with a shallow depth of field to blur the band in the background, adhering to a 1:1 aspect ratio.",
