Candid Lo-Fi Night Photo Editing Instruction

A unique JSON prompt that instructs the AI to perform photo editing on an image, specifically requiring that the subject's face remains 100% identical to the original reference photo. The goal is to apply a raw, candid, lo-fi aesthetic typical of a low-end smartphone photo taken at night in a Jakarta rooftop café, emphasizing imperfect lighting and digital noise for realism.
