Master Prompt Template
Ultra-realistic, full-body portrait of the same young man (ensure strict facial consistency with prior reference), captured mid-step as he walks out through the glass doors of a modern café. His body is slightly angled forward, with one leg stepping ahead naturally, conveying motion. He holds a takeaway coffee cup in his left hand close to his chest, while his right hand rests casually inside his pocket. A black backpack hangs effortlessly over one shoulder. His head is turned slightly to the side, gaze directed away from the camera, with a calm, confident, and composed expression. He is dressed in an oversized red t-shirt, black cargo pants, black-and-white sneakers, and a minimal thin chain necklace, styled in a contemporary urban fashion aesthetic. The background features glass doors with visible Starbucks signage and logo, with warm indoor lighting spilling outward. The café interior appears softly blurred, creating depth, while natural daylight illuminates the subject from outside. Shot with a 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, cinematic composition, realistic lighting and shadows, high dynamic range, and ultra-detailed textures. Aspect ratio: 4:5 Resolution: Style: photorealistic, cinematic, editorial fashion photography, Medium three-quarter profile shot with natural posture, captured on Sony A7R V paired with FE 85mm f/1.4 GM lens, Rembrandt 3-point studio lighting with 45° key light and soft fill bounce, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence, captured on 105mm macro detail lens, Moody chiaroscuro single-source key light with deep velvety shadows, natural surface physics, 8K ultra-detailed editorial photography --ar 9:16 --v 6.1 --style raw

- **Framing & Shot Type**: Low-angle hero perspective (Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 105mm macro detail lens at f/4.0 clean editorial sharpness across subject features
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Moody chiaroscuro single-source key light with deep velvety shadows
- **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.
