AI Art Prompt: Stylized High-Angle Editorial Portrait (Top-Down Perspective)

Capture the trending "0.5x selfie" aesthetic with a high-end editorial twist. This AI art prompt is designed to create a dramatic, top-down portrait that feels modern, stylized, and full of personality.

This prompt uses a "wide-angle, slightly distorted perspective" to create a unique visual look that is very popular in contemporary fashion photography. By combining this angle with "soft studio lighting" and a "smooth gradient background," the result is a clean, sharp image that highlights the outfit and the subject's expression.

Deconstructing the Prompt: Mastering the Angle

This prompt uses specific camera terminology to achieve a distinct look:

• The Angle: "Top-down portrait" and "looking upward toward the camera" establish the geometry of the shot. This foreshortening effect makes the head appear slightly larger and the feet smaller, drawing attention to the face.
• The Distortion: "Wide-angle, slightly distorted perspective" is the key instruction. It mimics the look of a fisheye or a wide phone lens (0.5x), adding a dynamic and playful energy to the image.
• The Styling: The combination of a "brown overshirt," "knit sweater," and "round glasses" creates a smart-casual, perhaps academic or indie aesthetic.
• Lighting & Background: "Soft studio lighting" and a "smooth gradient background" keep the image clean and professional, separating the subject from the negative space effectively.

Tips for Best Results

To get the most stunning and accurate result with this prompt:

• Aspect Ratio: This high-angle composition works best in a vertical format. Add `--ar 4:5` or `--ar 9:16` to the end of the prompt to give the subject room to "stand" in the frame.
• Personalization: If you want to use your own face, use an AI tool that supports reference images (like Midjourney with `--cref`). For the best result, upload a selfie taken from a high angle to match the prompt's perspective.
• Color Grading: You can change the "smooth gradient background" to a specific color (e.g., "smooth teal gradient") to match a specific brand or mood.
