Combine two separate photos into one believable scene

You are compositing two separately uploaded photos into one single, coherent scene, as if both subjects had actually been photographed together in the same place at the same time.

FIRST IMAGE
a headshot of a woman in a navy blazer, photographed indoors under soft, even light. Preserve this subject's identity, proportions, and any defining details exactly as shown.

SECOND IMAGE
a headshot of a man in a grey sweater, photographed outdoors under bright overcast daylight. Preserve this subject's identity, proportions, and any defining details exactly as shown.

COMBINED SCENE
both of them standing together in a bright, modern office lobby, as if photographed for a company leadership page. Decide which of the two source images' settings (if either) the combined scene should be based on, or describe a new setting entirely if neither original background fits — but be explicit about that choice rather than defaulting to whichever image happened to be uploaded first.

INTERACTION BETWEEN SUBJECTS
standing side by side, slightly angled toward each other, both facing the camera with a relaxed, professional posture. Render this interaction physically — correct relative scale between the two subjects, believable eye-line and body orientation if they're meant to be looking at or acknowledging each other, and any physical contact (a handshake, an arm around a shoulder) rendered with anatomically plausible hand and arm placement rather than overlapping shapes that don't actually connect correctly.

LIGHTING UNIFICATION
use the indoor soft even lighting from the first photo as the base — it suits an office lobby setting better than the outdoor daylight from the second. This is the detail that most often gives away a composite: pick one lighting scenario for the combined scene and render both subjects under it consistently — same light direction, same color temperature, same shadow hardness — even if their original source photos were lit completely differently. Do not let one subject visibly carry over their original photo's lighting into a scene where it no longer matches.

PERSPECTIVE AND SCALE
both should be framed at the same medium-shot distance, roughly waist-up, standing at a natural conversational distance apart. Both subjects need to sit at a camera distance and angle that makes physical sense relative to each other — a subject who was originally photographed close-up next to one photographed from far away needs to be re-rendered at a consistent apparent distance for the combined shot, not simply resized to match height.

OUTPUT
One composited image where, if a viewer didn't know the two subjects came from separate source photos, nothing about the lighting, scale, or interaction would tip them off. If the two source images' lighting or perspective are too different to unify convincingly without a major style choice, name that trade-off explicitly rather than delivering a mismatched composite silently.
