Hyper-Photorealistic Portrait: Camera & Optics • Full-frame body; 85 mm prime at f/1.4 for shallow DOF and creamy falloff. • ISO 100–200, 1/200 s; daylight-balanced key with slight warm bias (≈5500–5700 K). • Focus locked on the leading eye; micro-contrast tuned to preserve skin texture without plasticity. Lighting Design • Key: soft 4×6’ diffused source 35° off camera left, slightly above eye line (classic beauty/Rembrandt blend). • Fill: large white V-flat camera right at –2.5 EV to retain sculpting. • Hair/Edge: subtle rim from behind right shoulder to separate raven hair from background. • Speculars: controlled, small catchlights at ~10 o’clock; gentle sheen along clavicles and upper lip. Subject — Face & Expression • Head tilted back a few degrees, chin slightly lifted; eyelids at a languid half-close. • Eyes: cool blue-gray irises with radial striations; crisp limbal ring; moisture line visible. • Brows: dark, full, softly arched; individual hairs discernible. • Lips: full, softly parted, satin-matte deep rose; micro-creasing and subtle lip-line feathering preserved. • Expression: self-possessed, serene provocation—inviting without pleading; think High Priestess meets runway. Hair • Color: jet black with midnight-blue undertones. • Texture: heavy, glossy waves; flyaways retained at halo level (no over-retouch). • Directionality: mass falls over the left shoulder; a few strands arc across the collarbone, catching rim light. Skin Realism • Tone: alabaster/fair with cool See more
