  • Subject Definition: Hyper-realistic 9:16 overhead shot of the man from the attached image (I upload 2 photos of myself), sitting on the edge of a skyscraper during golden hour, with his legs hanging and his hands interlocked. He is wearing the clothes that appear in the image, looking back over his shoulder, with the city skyline softly blurred. Natural lighting, cinematic color grading, intense bokeh, shallow depth of field, cinematic shot with great detail, 85mm telephoto lens compression with creamy background bokeh, captured on Fujifilm GFX 100 II with GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR 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

  • Framing & Shot Type: Full-body dynamic shot (Over-the-shoulder conversational framing)

  • Optics & Focal Intent: 35mm documentary environmental lens at f/8.0 deep edge-to-edge clarity across all focal planes

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

  • Color Grading: Monochrome high-contrast black and white with rich tonal gradients

  • 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.
