- **Framing & Shot Type**: Full-body dynamic shot (Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 35mm documentary environmental lens at f/1.4 ultra-shallow depth of field with creamy background separation
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Volumetric golden-hour rim light at 3800K with soft atmospheric haze
- **Color Grading**: Monochrome high-contrast black and white with rich tonal gradients
- **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.
