  • Framing & Shot Type: Full-body dynamic shot (Profile side angle with rim contour)

  • Optics & Focal Intent: 105mm macro detail lens at f/1.4 ultra-shallow depth of field with creamy background separation

  • Lighting Atmosphere: Volumetric golden-hour rim light at 3800K with soft atmospheric haze

  • Color Grading: Subtle film stock aesthetic with lifted blacks and soft highlight rolloff

  • Model Constraints: Preserves natural skin texture; avoids oversaturated smoothing.


💡 How To Customize: Replace {SUBJECT} with your exact character or scene, or switch the Aspect Ratio to 9:16 for mobile reels and wallpaper formats.
