Create a studio business portrait.
Subject: a young woman from mid-thigh up. Long blonde hair with soft loose waves, parted to one
side and falling forward over both shoulders and down the chest. Natural makeup with defined
brows and a soft neutral lip. She wears an oversized slate-grey tailored blazer worn open, over a
matching blue-grey satin shirt buttoned to the chest with the collar open, and high-waisted
pleated trousers in the same grey.
Action: standing square to camera with her weight even on both feet, both hands pushed into her
trouser pockets so the blazer falls open and her elbows angle out slightly. Shoulders relaxed and
level, chin level, direct steady gaze into the lens, lips closed and softly neutral.
Setting: a plain blue-grey studio backdrop, softly graded from lighter just behind her head to
darker at the frame edges, no props, texture or visible seam.
Visual style: photoreal professional portrait photography, natural skin texture with visible
pores, clean tonal colour with the suit and backdrop sitting in the same family, sharp focus
throughout.
Composition: vertical frame, camera at chest height, subject centred and cropped at mid-thigh,
head in the upper quarter of frame with clear space above, even margin either side.
Lighting: soft broad key from the front and slightly left with gentle fill from the right, soft
shadow under the jaw and along the lapels, soft round catchlights in both eyes, a light hair
separation from behind, gentle falloff into the backdrop corners.
Text inside: none.
Constraints: never take the hands out of the pockets, never button the blazer closed, never
overly smooth or airbrush the skin — pores and texture stay visible, never smile or part the
lips, never look away from the lens, never tilt the head, never crop above the waist, never add
props, jewellery, a chair or a visible office behind, never blow the backdrop to pure white or
drop it to black, never add a hard rim light or coloured gel.
Output: 2:3 vertical.
