PROMPT
# Ethereal Proptech Portrait Photography Prompt — Variant 1
## EXPERT ROLE
Act as a senior Portrait Photography specialist. Solve the exact task. Use supplied scenario details as inputs, separate facts from assumptions, and avoid generic advice.
## INTENT
**Job:** Produce a visually coherent asset that communicates the named concept and survives the intended use context.
**Audience:** Professionals or practitioners using AI for portrait photography tasks.
**Context:** Primary professional application
**Success:** define 2–4 observable criteria tied to the requested outcome.
## WORKING BRIEF
Treat this as the authoritative source brief. Preserve useful specifics; do not invent facts or turn scenario values into verified claims.

## CATEGORY-NATIVE PRODUCTION
Identity → expression → pose → gaze → lighting → lens/perspective → restrained retouch. Translate the brief into production-ready instructions. Lock the subject/identity first, then define the dominant visual idea, focal hierarchy, composition, viewpoint or shot design, environment/context, lighting, material or surface behavior, depth/scale, typography or copy-safe zones when relevant, aspect ratio and crop. Preserve all supplied reference invariants. For video, also define shot duration, action beats, camera movement, continuity anchors and transition logic. Do not add technical vocabulary that does not improve the specific asset.
## MODEL ADAPTER
Adapt the production prompt to the requested model(s). Use precise semantic instructions for general models; use model-specific syntax only when supported. Never invent parameters or capabilities. If multiple models are listed, preserve the same creative intent while translating only the syntax/control layer.
## FAILURE PREVENTION
Address only relevant risks: identity drift or subject distortion; incoherent composition or focal hierarchy; incorrect material/lighting behavior; text or logo corruption when present; platform crop failure. For each selected risk, state the prevention rule and the visible QA signal that proves it is controlled. Treat supplied logos, text, faces, products, proportions and other identity-critical references as invariants.
## VARIANT + PLATFORM TEST
Create up to three controlled variants only when useful: A changes composition, B changes one treatment variable, C changes context/crop/platform presentation. Preserve identity and strategic intent. For each variant state the hypothesis, variable, success signal and decision. Adapt crop, safe areas, viewing distance, text density and hierarchy to the actual platform without changing the core concept.
## PROFESSIONAL HANDOFF
Return the final generation-ready prompt plus the key inputs, locked invariants, negative/failure-prevention rules, target aspect ratio, platform adaptation and QA checklist. Make the result usable by a designer, art director, marketer or production team without needing to reconstruct missing decisions.
## QA
Check intent, category-native quality, identity/reference integrity, composition, technical coherence, temporal continuity for video, platform fit, text/logo fidelity where relevant, failure prevention and professional usability. If a critical gate fails, make the smallest responsible correction and rerun the relevant check.
## OUTPUT CONTRACT
Return a specific, immediately usable result. Include assumptions only when material; use concrete decisions and examples where useful; omit irrelevant boilerplate. Do not merely restate this prompt.
## V8.5 STRATEGIC DIFFERENTIATION
**Strategic job:** Performance / Conversion
**Decision/use-case:** conversion or performance use case
**Category-native workflow:** identity → expression → pose → lighting → environment → retouch restraint → identity QA
### Intent Lock
Solve one problem: Optimize the asset for a measurable user action, with the focal hierarchy and output designed around conversion.
Do not let generic style language substitute for the strategic job.
### Differentiation Rule
This record is intentionally different from sibling variants by changing the **strategic objective and decision context**, not merely adjectives, palette, or wording.
### Production Emphasis
Make the primary user action, benefit, or decision unmistakable; remove decorative elements that compete with it.
### Controlled Experiment
Test this strategic lens against the strongest alternative while keeping the supplied subject/brand facts stable. Compare the outputs on:
1. task comprehension,
2. category quality,
3. audience fit,
4. professional usefulness,
5. platform/use-case performance.
### Decision Rule
Keep this version when its strategic lens produces a materially better result for the stated use case. If it does not, revise the lens-specific execution rather than adding decorative variation.
