- **Framing & Shot Type**: Three-quarter medium shot (Over-the-shoulder conversational framing)
- **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.
