- **Framing & Shot Type**: Wide environmental establishing shot (Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 70-200mm telephoto compressed lens at f/4.0 clean editorial sharpness across subject features
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Rembrandt 3-point studio lighting with 45° key light and soft fill bounce
- **Color Grading**: Clean high-key commercial color grade with vibrant true-to-life tones
- **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.
