  • Framing & Shot Type: Three-quarter medium shot (Profile side angle with rim contour)

  • Optics & Focal Intent: 50mm natural focal length lens at f/1.8 shallow depth of field with soft optical falloff

  • Lighting Atmosphere: Warm candlelight ambient illumination at 2400K with gentle highlight rolloff

  • Color Grading: Golden-hour amber and cyan complementary color harmony

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