Portrait prompt

SUBJECT
An intimate tight close-up side profile portrait of a 20-year-old young man with pale, slightly freckled skin, a
straight nose, full lips slightly parted, and long dark lashes. His thick, dark brown curly hair is blown forward and
across his forehead by the wind, a few curls catching the light. Eyes half-closed, gaze lowered toward the
horizon, expression soft, wistful and vulnerable.
WARDROBE
The raised collar of a heavy black wool coat and a thin black-and-cream pinstripe band collar underneath, framing his
neck.
CAMERA
85mm portrait lens at f/1.4, framed from the top of his head to his collarbone, face filling the left side of the frame,
negative space on the right. Background: an extremely blurred stormy sky turning into creamy grey and warm gold
bokeh, with soft out-of-focus wisps of golden grass at the bottom edge.
LIGHTING
Warm low sunlight from the side and slightly behind, wrapping around his cheekbone, jawline and the tip of his nose
with a golden glow; the near side of his face falls into soft cool shadow. Fine glowing rim light on loose curls and
peach-fuzz,
STYLE & MOOD
Medium-format analog film look, Kodak Portra 160, delicate grain, soft highlight roll-off, warm skin tones against cool
grey background. Highly detailed realistic skin texture, visible pores, natural imperfections. Mood: dreamy, tender,
emotional, poetic. Fine art portrait photography.
