A structured Image Generation prompt optimized for midjourney. Utilizes a 85mm optical perspective and Moody chiaroscuro single-source key light with deep velvety shadows to produce crisp, high-detail results without artificial smoothing.

Master Prompt Template
Use the exact facial identity taken from the attached reference image.A hyper-realistic, ultra-sharp photograph taken on a modern smartphone, characterized by its digital clarity, shot on an {argument name="phone model" default="iPhone 15 Pro"} ISO 100. The image captures a person crouching low on a grey gravel ground, framed within a large round mirror, holding a modern smartphone to take a mirror selfie. The person wears a {argument name="outfit colors" default="bright sky blue t-shirt with orange graphic text, vibrant mustard yellow shorts"}, a bright pink belt, and carries a matching bright pink canvas tote bag. Visible skin on the legs is present, and their long, well-maintained light brown hair flows softly around their shoulders. They accessorize with multiple silver rings, a delicate silver bracelet, and layered necklaces, including one with a prominent pink heart pendant. Their makeup is Douyin, featuring soft pink blush and a glossy pink lip tint, thin wing eye liner and brushed-up brows. Wispy eye lashes and natural grey contact lenses. The background, reflected in the mirror, reveals a quaint dark wooden building with visible signage, flanked by lush green foliage and a bright blue sky. An iced coffee cup bearing '33B' branding rests on the gravel next to the mirror. The entire scene is rendered with razor-sharp focus from foreground to background, exhibiting no background blur or bokeh effect. Digital texture is highly realistic, showcasing precise details on fabrics, visible pores on dewy skin, and the distinct texture of gravel and foliage, free from any film grain but with a hint of subtle digital noise. Bright, even lighting, characteristic of modern smartphone HDR, ensures all areas are well-illuminated with lifted shadows, preventing any deep black areas. The color palette is vibrant and true-to-life, with natural greens, warm wood tones, and distinct cool blue and yellow clothing hues, High-angle Dutch tilt with dynamic geometric diagonal framing, captured on Leica M11 with Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH lens, Volumetric golden-hour rim lighting at 3800K with soft atmospheric haze, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, Straight-on symmetrical frontal angle, captured on 85mm portrait prime lens, Moody chiaroscuro single-source key light with deep velvety shadows, natural surface physics, 8K ultra-detailed editorial photography --ar 16:9 --v 6.1 --style raw

- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 85mm portrait prime lens at f/1.8 shallow depth of field with soft optical falloff
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Moody chiaroscuro single-source key light with deep velvety shadows
- **Color Grading**: Moody desaturated ambient palette with warm practical accents
- **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.
