  • Framing & Shot Type: High-angle overhead view (Straight-on symmetrical frontal angle)

  • Optics & Focal Intent: 24mm wide-angle perspective lens at f/1.4 ultra-shallow depth of field with creamy background separation

  • Lighting Atmosphere: Soft overcast diffused daylight through a large north-facing window

  • Color Grading: Warm and cool cinematic contrast with natural skin tones

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