- **Framing & Shot Type**: Full-body dynamic shot (Over-the-shoulder conversational framing)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 105mm macro detail 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**: 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.
