## Prompt

```text
{
  "subject": "{subject_description}",
  "outfit": {
    "dress": "{dress_style}",
    "hosiery": "Sheer smoke-grey tights with a soft period sheen",
    "shoes": "Black suede pointed-toe pumps with a slim stiletto heel and a small bow at the vamp",
    "jewellery": "Stacked wide gold bangles on both wrists, gold drop earrings",
    "props": "A slim crystal champagne flute held loosely in one hand"
  },
  "pose": "Seated in a clear lucite armchair, torso upright and turned three-quarters to the camera. Legs crossed high at the knee and extended long toward the floor, toes pointed, feet angled together. One arm resting along the chair arm holding the champagne flute out at chest height; the other hand relaxed on the thigh. Shoulders squared back, spine straight, head tilted slightly away.",
  "setting": "{interior_style} Sparse and elegant — nothing else in frame. Absolutely no text, lettering or signage anywhere.",
  "camera": "35mm crisp direct flash. Hard frontal light throwing a defined shadow behind the chair, fierce specular blowout across the metallic brocade so the dress ignites, hot glints on the gold bangles and champagne glass. Warm saturated period grade, cobalt pushed rich against neutral cream. Lifted blacks, medium-high contrast, fine 35mm grain, gentle halation, corner vignette.",
  "framing": "Vertical 2:3. ANGLE — low view from the subject's left, lens near seat height and tilted up. The crossed legs foreshorten toward the camera and read longer, the lucite chair reads at a three-quarter turn with its transparent frame catching flash, and more wall and ceiling opens above her head."
}
