The technique comes first, followed by the subject, scene, details and aspect ratio. Paste it straight into an image model and swap in your own subject.

Wide environmental portrait, 24mm, the person about a third of the frame, the space fully readable, environmental detail revealing the profession. In an instrument repair shop, an old craftsman sits at his workbench holding a dismantled cello, the walls around him hung with violins, bows and tools. 3:2, don't place him at the edge of the frame where he'd stretch and distort.

Common pitfalls

The person too close to the edge gets stretched.
A setting so cluttered you can't tell what the subject is.

Parameter tips

24 to 35mm; keep the person away from the edge of the frame.
