Photorealistic portraits with professional photography language — lighting setups, lens choices, and skin-texture realism.
Photorealistic portrait photograph: {SUBJECT — age range, style, expression, NOT a real person's name}.
Setting: {ENVIRONMENT, e.g. sunlit artist studio / rainy city street at dusk / neutral studio
seamless}.
Camera: shot on {85mm f/1.4 for classic portrait / 35mm f/2 for environmental / 105mm macro for detail}, {EYE-LEVEL / SLIGHTLY ABOVE / LOW HERO ANGLE}.
Lighting: {Rembrandt lighting with soft key at 45° / golden hour rim light / dramatic
single-source window light / clean beauty lighting with fill}. Catchlights visible in eyes.
Realism anchors: natural skin texture with visible pores, individual hair strands, subtle
asymmetry, fabric weave detail, realistic subsurface skin scattering.
Color grade: {warm editorial / muted film stock / crisp commercial}.
Framing: {HEADSHOT / CHEST-UP / THREE-QUARTER}, shallow depth of field, background softly out of focus.
Avoid: plastic skin, over-smoothing, extra fingers, dead eyes, watermark, text
