13.1 Portrait

#291 NEW Portrait Documentary — The Last Craftsman

Medium shot, 85mm, craftsman at work — hands detail 100mm macro. Shallow depth of field. Interview style but no talking-head framing — observational. Natural window light, 5000K daylight. Slow dolly around workspace. Warm desaturated grade — feels timeless. Grain suggests intimacy.

#292 NEW Environmental — Glacier Retreat Timelapse

Wide locked-off 24mm. Same mountain glacier position across 50 years — timelapse compression. Drone aerial for current state. Clinical, objective documentary grade — no emotional color push. Data visualization overlay showing ice loss. Let the imagery speak. Clean, no grain.

13.5 War

#295 NEW War Documentary — After the Battle

Wide handheld 28mm, aftermath of conflict. Rubble, silence, smoke. No people visible — emptiness is the subject. Natural available light — overcast, grey, diffused. No beauty in lighting — documentary truth. Slow walk through ruins. Desaturated. No grade intervention. As-shot aesthetic.

Para sa wide shots: anamorphic lens keyword sa prompt para sa horizontal stretch at oval bokeh. 24mm standard wide. Para sa ultra-epic scale, gamitin ang 14-16mm ultra-wide — ingat sa edge distortion.

🎲 Wildcard: Golden hour + wide shot = instant cinema. Magic window: 30 min after sunrise or 30 min before sunset. I-specify ang exact time of day sa prompt.
