The base prompt
{
"prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the person from the provided photo as the main subject. The face must remain clear and unaltered. Transform the subject into a solitary figure on a mist-shrouded wooden pier at dawn, evoking the melancholic beauty of an early 20th-century artistic photograph. The image should have the textural quality and muted tones of an aged platinum print, with the subject gazing contemplatively out to a calm, grey sea.",
