Prompt Architecture & Anatomy
### 📐 Structured Prompt Anatomy
- **Subject Definition**: An extreme close-up of the upper body, {argument name="angle" default="from a high angle close to a male perspective"}. The woman's face and body are clearly and largely visible. *Optional: {argument name="expression" default="an expression of looking down slightly in embarrassment"}, master-level composition, melancholic and beautiful, candlelight warmth, award-winning photography aesthetic, museum-quality output, ultra-high resolution, HDR, expert post-processing, technically flawless
- **Framing & Shot Type**: Wide environmental establishing shot (Profile side angle with rim contour)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 70-200mm telephoto compressed lens at f/8.0 deep edge-to-edge clarity across all focal planes
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Rembrandt 3-point studio lighting with 45° key light and soft fill bounce
- **Color Grading**: Clean high-key commercial color grade with vibrant true-to-life tones
- **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.
