- **Framing & Shot Type**: High-angle overhead view (Eye-level direct angle with natural perspective)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 70-200mm telephoto compressed lens at f/8.0 deep edge-to-edge clarity across all focal planes
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Soft overcast diffused daylight through a large north-facing window
- **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.
