Identity: the face, skin, body and hair are the subject's own and never change. Where a hairstyle is described below, style the subject's own hair into it; never change the hair's colour, length or texture. Apply only the outfit, makeup, hairstyling, pose and setting described below.
Create a studio business portrait.
Subject: the subject from mid-thigh up. The subject's own hair is parted to one side and falls forward over both shoulders and down the chest. Makeup applied to the subject's own face: natural makeup with a soft neutral lip. The subject 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 the subject's weight even on both feet, both hands pushed into the
trouser pockets so the blazer falls open and the 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 the subject's head to
darker at the frame edges, no props, texture or visible seam.
Visual style: photoreal professional portrait photography, 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 along the lapels, a light 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 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, never change the subject's face, skin or body, and never change the colour, length or texture of the subject's hair — style it only as described.
Output: 2:3 vertical.
