Master Prompt Template
A powerful editorial, highly detailed, photorealistic, dynamic low-angle portrait featuring a man against a vibrant, solid orange-red background, utilizing dramatic, high-contrast studio lighting dominated by vivid orange and deep red hues. The subject is photographed from a slightly low camera angle, creating a strong, authoritative presence and emphasizing the jawline and facial structure. His head is subtly tilted downward toward the camera while his eyes look slightly, Over-the-shoulder conversational cinematic framing, captured on Hasselblad X2D 100C with 80mm f/2.8 medium format lens, Vibrant cinematic dual-tone lighting (neon cyan key + magenta rim edge), authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, Straight-on symmetrical frontal angle, captured on 105mm macro detail lens, Dramatic low-key spotlight with high contrast ratio 4:1, natural surface physics, 8K ultra-detailed editorial photography --ar 9:16 --v 6.1 --style raw

Prompt Architecture & Anatomy
### 📐 Structured Prompt Anatomy
- **Subject Definition**: A powerful editorial, highly detailed, photorealistic, dynamic low-angle portrait featuring a man against a vibrant, solid orange-red background, utilizing dramatic, high-contrast studio lighting dominated by vivid orange and deep red hues. The subject is photographed from a slightly low camera angle, creating a strong, authoritative presence and emphasizing the jawline and facial structure. His head is subtly tilted downward toward the camera while his eyes look slightly, Over-the-shoulder conversational cinematic framing, captured on Hasselblad X2D 100C with 80mm f/2.8 medium format lens, Vibrant cinematic dual-tone lighting (neon cyan key + magenta rim edge), authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography
- **Framing & Shot Type**: Medium close-up portrait (Straight-on symmetrical frontal angle)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 105mm macro detail lens at f/4.0 clean editorial sharpness across subject features
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Dramatic low-key spotlight with high contrast ratio 4:1
- **Color Grading**: Subtle film stock aesthetic with lifted blacks and soft highlight rolloff
- **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.
