  • Subject Definition: { "scene": "cinematic studio portrait", "reference": { "identity_match": "match the uploaded reference face precisely", "facial_accuracy": [ "bone structure", "eye shape", "nose proportions", "jawline", "facial symmetry", "hairline" ], "skin_texture": "natural pores and realistic skin detail" }, "subject": { "type": "man", "age": "around 25–30", "expression": "calm, confident, relaxed", "gaze": "direct eye contact with camera" }, "pose": { "style": "relaxed studio pose", "description": "leaning slightly forward with one elbow resting on a wooden table, one hand gently touching the side of the head" }, "hair": { "style": "short natural hairstyle with soft volume and visible strands" }, "clothing": { "outfit": "soft neutral button-up shirt or lightweight sweater", "style": "clean, modern, minimal" }, "lighting": { "style": "soft cinematic studio lighting", "key_light": "above eye level from viewer's left", "effect": "soft highlights, Atmospheric 24mm wide street photography snapshot angle, captured on Arri Alexa Mini LF with Cooke Anamorphic /i Prime 40mm 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: Extreme close-up macro (Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence)

  • Optics & Focal Intent: 105mm macro detail lens at f/1.4 ultra-shallow depth of field with creamy background separation

  • Lighting Atmosphere: Vibrant cinematic dual-tone lighting (warm key + cool ambient rim)

  • 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.
