Master Prompt Template
A hyper-realistic medium portrait of a stunning {argument name="age" default="20-year-old"} woman sitting at a table in a cozy, dimly lit upscale restaurant, posing directly for the camera. She has shoulder-length wavy {argument name="hair color" default="chestnut"} hair and expressive {argument name="eye color" default="hazel"} eyes that are making direct eye contact with the lens. She is wearing a chic, textured {argument name="sweater color" default="cream-colored"} cashmere sweater and a delicate gold necklace. She is leaning slightly forward, resting her chin gently on her hand, with a half-empty glass of white wine and a small flickering candle on the rustic wooden table in front of her. The lighting is cinematic and warm, utilizing the candlelight to soft shadows on her face (Rembrandt lighting), highlighting natural skin texture, visible pores, and slight imperfections to ensure realism. The background is a beautiful, creamy bokeh of the restaurant interior, featuring blurred warm hanging lights, brick walls, and faint silhouettes of other diners.

- **Framing & Shot Type**: Medium close-up portrait (Dutch tilt diagonal dynamic angle)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 105mm macro detail lens at f/1.8 shallow depth of field with soft optical falloff
- **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.
