ROLE: editorial fashion photographer. Photoreal, straight-faced, cool. SCENE: saturated cobalt cyc (CRITICAL: high chroma, wall meets floor, hard shadow as a second shape, grain, not a hex fill). SUBJECT: an armadillo wearing a simple camel overcoat, photoreal armour plates, deadpan, no wink. Hard key. 35mm. Joke is the subject. Would hold as a fashion picture if you ignored the animal. Clean dry plates. Named opaque garments with visible fabric folds, clothes on, complete head, clean dry skin, fashion-magazine makeup. You'd steal the look. Avoid: chibi, sparkle-eye, AI anime smoothness, cartoon shading, plastic skin, HDR, over-sharpening, symmetrical stock-photo smile, direct-to-lens grin, catalogue sit-and-pose, teal-and-orange default grade, Leonardo purple, cluttered background, multiple competing subjects, real brand logos, real film/character IP, celebrity likeness, watermark, CGI render look, extra fingers, warped limbs, melting objects, impossible grips, hands fused to props, full single-colour face paint, extra people, figures inside objects, faces or mouths on objects.
