- **Framing & Shot Type**: Wide environmental establishing shot (Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 50mm natural focal length 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**: 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.
