Use reference image 1 for the adult man's exact face, likeness and skin tone, and reference image 2 for the adult woman's exact face, likeness and skin tone. Preserve both identities exactly as the references show them. Any additional reference controls lighting, wardrobe and composition only, never either face.
Create a dramatic photorealistic poster-style portrait, vertical, split down the centre by a single large blade standing upright through the full height of the frame. The man occupies the left half. The woman appears on the right half, seen as a reflection in the polished steel of the blade.
The man is shown in a close three-quarter view from the left, turned slightly toward the camera with a steady, composed, direct gaze and a closed mouth. He wears a dark charcoal tailored suit with a matching waistcoat, a crisp white shirt and a dark slim tie, rendered with visible fabric weave in the shadows. His half of the image is lit cold: a steel-blue key from the upper left raking across the cheekbone, deep shadow filling the jaw and the far side of the face, and a thin cool rim along the edge of the head separating him from the background.
The blade runs vertically from the top edge of the frame to the bottom, its sharpened edge facing left and aligned almost exactly with the centre line so it divides the composition cleanly in two. The steel is bright and mirror-polished, with faint parallel grind lines running along its length. A hot crimson line of light traces the entire cutting edge and bleeds a soft red glow outward into the surrounding air. Fine branching filaments of red electrical arc crawl across the flat of the steel like lightning, brightest near the edge and fading toward the spine.
The woman's face fills the right side of the frame, appearing within the blade's polished surface. She faces the camera directly with a calm, composed expression, and raises one index finger vertically in front of her lips in a quiet "shh" gesture, the fingertip just touching the centre of the upper lip. Her nails are painted matte black. Her half is lit warm and clean against his cold half — soft neutral light on the face, gentle falloff, no heavy shadow — so the two halves read as opposites meeting at the edge.
Her face must read as an image held in steel rather than a cut-out laid over the blade. Render the physical cues: a faint elongation and compression of her features following the blade's curvature, the steel's grind lines passing very faintly across her skin, a bright specular run travelling down the polished surface, and a slight cool metallic cast at the extremes of the reflection where the steel darkens.
Set both against a deep crimson background that falls to near black at the corners, with slow drifting smoke catching the red light in soft volumetric shafts and a scatter of fine airborne particles. No furniture, no props, no text, no signage.
Frame vertically from just above the head to mid-chest on the man's side, with the blade's edge on the centre line and the woman's reflected face at a matched scale so the two faces align at the same eye level across the divide. Use an 85mm portrait perspective at a moderate aperture so both faces and the blade surface stay sharp while the smoke behind falls away.
Colour: a hard split between cold and warm. Steel blue, slate and deep shadow on the left; warm neutral skin and bright polished steel on the right; crimson throughout the background, the edge glow and the electrical arcs. Rich blacks with detail retained, cinematic contrast, fine natural grain.
Avoid blood, wounds, gore, any threatening or violent gesture, the blade touching either person, blending the two identities into one face, a flat sticker-like reflection with no metal cues, malformed fingers, extra fingers, visible logos, readable text and any accessories carried over from the identity photos.
Create a full-colour vertical 9:16 photograph. Add a small subtle semi-transparent "promptybox.com" watermark at bottom right, with no other text overlays. Avoid duplicate faces, extra limbs, malformed fingers, plastic skin and unrelated props.
