Prompt Architecture & Anatomy

### 📐 Structured Prompt Anatomy

- **Subject Definition**: { "prompt": { "style_and_tech": "{argument name="aesthetic style" default="mobile phone photo, old CCD camera aesthetic, harsh flash, grainy, dim messy indoor lighting, candid snapshot feeling, slight motion blur"}", "subject": "{argument name="subject" default="young Korean female idol, soft innocent look"}", "pose": "mid-action, slightly turning head toward camera as if just noticed being photographed, shoulders slightly raised", "expression": "eyes widened slightly, lips parted in surprise, shy and caught-off-guard expression", "clothing": "{argument name="clothing" default="loose soft homewear (thin cardigan + inner top), slightly slipping off one shoulder but not revealing"}", "vibe": "unprepared, intimate, accidental moment, evokes curiosity and protectiveness", "aspect ratio":"9:16" } }, Cinematic 35mm wide-angle environmental establishing shot, 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
- **Framing & Shot Type**: Three-quarter medium shot (Straight-on symmetrical frontal angle)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 70-200mm telephoto compressed lens at f/1.4 ultra-shallow depth of field with creamy background separation
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Warm candlelight ambient illumination at 2400K with gentle highlight rolloff
- **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.
