Editorial portrait with hard rim light
Editorial portrait of {{subject}}, three-quarter view, shoulders angled away from camera, eyes to lens. Single hard rim light from behind camera-left carving the jaw and shoulder, weak fill from a bounce card camera-right, background falling four stops into near-black. 85mm lens look, f/2, shallow but not smeared depth of field. Skin rendered with real texture — visible pores, no beauty retouching, no plastic sheen. Neutral grade with a slight cool shadow lift, film-like grain. Composition: subject's eyeline on the upper third, generous negative space camera-right. Photographed for a magazine feature, not a stock library.
Negative: smooth airbrushed skin, symmetrical studio lighting, big smile, watermark, text, extra fingers, over-sharpened eyes.
How to use it
Swap the light direction to camera-right for a friendlier read. If the face comes out waxy, add 'unretouched, editorial skin texture' rather than raising the strength of other terms.
