- **Framing & Shot Type**: Tight headshot portrait (Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 50mm natural focal length lens at f/2.8 balanced subject sharpness with soft background bokeh
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Subtle high-key studio softbox with delicate catchlights in eyes
- **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.
