An 18-year-old Dutch party girl begins her day in her cozy Amsterdam apartment, bathed in soft morning light. Her light blonde hair is tousled but styled into loose waves, framing her fresh-faced glow and piercing blue eyes. She wears an oversized white linen shirt paired with high-waisted denim shorts and fluffy slippers, exuding casual elegance. Standing by the large floor-to-ceiling windows, she sips coffee from a minimalist ceramic mug while gazing out at the city skyline.
Her phone rests on the windowsill beside her, open to Instagram, where she scrolls through photos from last night’s festivities. A neon sign reading “Stay Wild” hangs on the wall behind her, casting a faint pink hue across the room. Scattered around are remnants of her creative personality—sketchbooks, polaroids pinned to a corkboard, and a record player spinning indie tunes.
Camera Settings & Lighting:
Camera Model: Canon EOS R5
Lens: 50mm f/1.4 (perfect for capturing intimacy and environmental context)
Aperture: f/2.0 (to create a shallow depth of field, isolating her from the background)
Shutter Speed: 1/160 sec (to freeze subtle movements like her hand holding the coffee mug)
ISO: 400 (low noise for controlled indoor conditions)
White Balance: Daylight (~5500K) adjusted slightly warmer to enhance the golden-hour effect
Lighting Setup: Natural light streams through the window, supplemented by a small LED panel hidden behind the curtain to mimic sunrise. A handheld reflector bounces light onto her face to soften shadows.
Post-Processing Instructions:
Enhance the golden-hour lighting streaming through the window to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Use radial filters to brighten her face and hands, emphasizing her youthful glow.
Boost saturation slightly in the blue tones of her denim shorts and the pink neon light for visual contrast.
Apply a soft diffusion filter to mimic the dreamy quality of early morning sunlight.
Sharpen details like the stitching on her shirt, the texture of the coffee mug, and the reflections on her phone screen for realism.
