## Prompt

- Model: GPT Image 2

```text
Black and white cinematic image in 1950s-60s French New Wave style. Two people standing close on a narrow Parisian street at dawn, not quite touching, intimacy expressed through proximity alone. She tilts slightly toward him; he gazes past her, deep in thought. Simple clothing: trench coats, knit sweaters, no excess. Natural faces, honest expressions, no glamour. Stone walls, shuttered windows, stacked cafe chairs, a bicycle leaning against the wall. Eye-level static camera, wide negative space, slightly imperfect composition. Soft diffused daylight, subtle 35mm film grain, gentle shadows. Emotion through stillness and silence, love present but unspoken. Godard and Truffaut aesthetic: restrained, observational, melancholic art-house romance.
