  "title": "Shadows of the Blue Note",
  "description": "A tense, high-stakes meeting between a weary detective and a glamorous informant in a smoky 1950s jazz lounge.",
  "prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the people from the provided photos as the main subjects. Preserve their core likeness. Transform Subject 1 (male) and Subject 2 (female) into characters from a classic 1950s film noir. Subject 1 is a rugged private investigator, and Subject 2 is an elegant femme fatale. They are seated at a secluded booth in a dimly lit, smoke-filled jazz club. The image must be ultra-photorealistic, utilizing cinematic lighting to create deep shadows and highlights. The scene should look like a frame from a high-budget blockbuster movie, shot on Arri Alexa, highly detailed, with a shallow depth of field focusing on their intense interaction.",
