# Still subject. Moving city.

Attach an identity photo you have permission to use. Replace each bracketed field.

Create an editorial portrait of the person in [IDENTITY REFERENCE], standing at [PLACE]. Keep the person's recognizable facial proportions and features. Frame [CROP], with the subject positioned [POSITION] and looking [GAZE DIRECTION]. Their posture is [POSTURE], their expression [EXPRESSION], and they wear [WARDROBE].

Behind the subject, [BACKGROUND MOTION] travels [DIRECTION]. Show a sustained directional blur on the moving background while keeping the face, eyes and main outline of the subject sharp. Keep stationary architectural details coherent. Allow only [SMALL SECONDARY MOTION] around the subject.

Light the scene with [LIGHT SOURCE AND DIRECTION]. Use [PALETTE] and a [PHOTOGRAPHIC TREATMENT] finish. Maintain believable separation between foreground and background; no pasted-on cutout edges or invented signage.
