Master Prompt Template
{ "prompt": "Ultra-realistic cinematic winter portrait of a young woman standing outdoors during gentle snowfall, looking directly into the camera with a calm, confident, quietly intense expression. Natural freckles, piercing blue eyes, long wavy brown hair lightly dusted with snow. Wearing a dark, soft-textured {argument name="clothing type" default="winter coat"} with snow settling on shoulders and hair. Blurred forest path background with tall trees fading into soft bokeh. Natural diffused cold light filtering from behind, subtle rim light around hair. Sharp focus on eyes, visible pores and freckles, shallow depth of field, moody cold color grading, soft contrast, fine film grain, editorial photography style, photorealistic, 85mm lens, f/1.8, high resolution.", "negative_prompt": "text, logo, watermark, over-smoothed skin, cartoon, illustration, harsh lighting, low resolution", "style": "cinematic editorial portrait", "camera": { "lens": "85mm", "aperture": "f/1.8" } }, Over-the-shoulder conversational cinematic framing, captured on Nikon Z9 with NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens, Moody chiaroscuro single-source side lighting with deep velvety shadows, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, High angle looking down with structured background framing, captured on 50mm natural focal length lens, Rembrandt 3-point studio lighting with 45° key light and soft fill bounce, natural surface physics, 8K ultra-detailed editorial photography --ar 9:16 --v 6.1 --style raw

### 📐 Structured Prompt Anatomy
- **Subject Definition**: { "prompt": "Ultra-realistic cinematic winter portrait of a young woman standing outdoors during gentle snowfall, looking directly into the camera with a calm, confident, quietly intense expression.

- **Framing & Shot Type**: Wide environmental establishing shot (High angle looking down with structured background framing)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 50mm natural focal length lens at f/1.4 ultra-shallow depth of field with creamy background separation
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Rembrandt 3-point studio lighting with 45° key light and soft fill bounce
- **Color Grading**: Golden-hour amber and cyan complementary color harmony
- **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.
