Create an outdoor business portrait.
Subject: a young woman from the waist up. Long brown hair pulled back loosely from the face with
soft strands falling at both temples and lengths resting over both shoulders. Natural makeup with
defined brows, soft green-toned eyeshadow and a warm pink lip. Round gold wire-frame glasses with
clear lenses. Small pearl stud earrings. She wears a soft pink tailored blazer with notch lapels
worn open, over a white top with a V neckline.
Action: standing square to camera with her arms folded across her chest, the right forearm
resting over the left with the fingers of the right hand visible and relaxed against her left
elbow. Shoulders relaxed and level, chin level, direct steady gaze into the lens, soft closed-lip
smile.
Setting: a modern glass-fronted office building behind her, thrown well out of focus into soft
blue-green panels and pale reflections, a light paved walkway receding below.
Visual style: photoreal outdoor portrait photography, natural skin texture with visible pores,
soft daylight colour, shallow depth of field with only the subject sharp and the building
dissolving into blur.
Composition: vertical frame, camera at chest height, subject centred and cropped at the waist,
head in the upper third of frame with a little space above, folded arms filling the lower third.
Lighting: soft natural daylight from the front left, gentle shadow under the jaw and along the
lapel, soft catchlights in both eyes, low contrast, a faint warm rim along the hair and shoulder.
Text inside: none — building signage stays out of focus and illegible.
Constraints: never unfold the arms or drop them to her sides, never render more or fewer than five
fingers on the visible hand, never merge or fuse the fingers, never bring the background into
focus, never overly smooth or airbrush the skin, never widen the smile to show teeth, never look
away from the lens, never tilt the head, never crop above the chest, never add props, a bag or a
second person, never render legible signage or brand marks, never add a hard rim light.
Output: 2:3 vertical.
