- **Subject Definition**: { "scene": { "setting": "outdoor portrait under a clear summer sky", "background": "vibrant cloudless blue sky with subtle wisps of white clouds, open-air environment, bright natural daylight creating a clean and minimalist backdrop", "lighting": "natural golden sunlight from behind and above subject, realistic rim lighting around hair, soft facial illumination, authentic outdoor highlights and shadows, slight lens glow from direct sunlight" }, "subject": { "type": "female", "pose": "low-angle close-up portrait, head slightly tilted forward, shoulders relaxed, looking directly toward camera with confident posture", "expression": "calm confident expression with softly parted lips, relaxed eyes, elegant and sophisticated mood", "face": "Use uploaded reference image, keep identity exact, preserve natural facial proportions, realistic skin texture with visible pores, subtle peach fuzz, natural imperfections, no artificial smoothing", "hair": "Use uploaded reference image, keep identity exact hair color, long flowing hair, realistic individual strands, natural movement from light breeze, illuminated edges from sunlight", "eyes": "Use uploaded reference image, keep identity exact, realistic catchlights from natural daylight, highly detailed iris texture", "skin": "natural skin tone with realistic texture, visible pores, authentic complexion variation, soft sunlight highlights, realistic subsurface scattering", "body": "accurate anatomy with natural proportions and realistic posture" }, "clothing": { "outfit": "{argument name="outfit" default="red one-shoulder knitted top"} with visible woven texture, realistic fabric details and natural folds", "footwear": "not visible", "accessories": "single pearl necklace, {argument name="flower" default="large white magnolia flower"} tucked beside hair, minimal elegant styling" }, "environment_details": { "props": "{argument name="flower" default="large white magnolia flower"} positioned near ear", "atmosphere": "fresh summer day, elegant outdoor beauty editorial, serene and luxurious aesthetic", "details": "natural hair movement, realistic sunlight reflections, authentic skin rendering, subtle atmospheric depth, clean outdoor environment" }, "camera": { "angle": "low-angle portrait perspective looking upward toward subject", "framing": "close-up portrait capturing head, shoulders and upper chest", "focus": "sharp focus on face with natural depth separation", "lens": "50mm professional portrait lens with realistic optical rendering", "settings": "f/2.8 aperture, ISO 100, 1/1000 shutter speed, full-frame mirrorless camera" }, "style": { "realism": "ultra realistic outdoor beauty photography", "color_tone": "rich blue sky, warm natural skin tones, {argument name="hair color" default="deep burgundy-red"} hair, clean white accents" } }, High-angle Dutch tilt with dynamic geometric diagonal framing, captured on Fujifilm GFX 100 II with GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR lens, Warm candlelight ambient glow at 2400K with gentle highlight rolloff, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography
- **Framing & Shot Type**: Medium close-up portrait (Over-the-shoulder conversational framing)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 105mm macro detail lens at f/1.4 ultra-shallow depth of field with creamy background separation
- **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.
