Golden Hour Portrait

Soft power face — intimate without full reveal; rim light that reads premium on a feed.

Phone path

Portrait mode optional; better: lock AE on face, step back, zoom 1.5–2× to flatten. Shoot into sun for free rim light.

15-minute plan

1. Min 0–3: Place sun 45° behind shoulder
2. Min 3–8: Face variants + eye-light from reflector (white shirt/wall)
3. Min 8–12: Tease crop tighter
4. Min 12–15: Environment + subject small in frame

Content batch

1 golden hour → 6 feed posts + 2 PPV close-ups.

Avoid

• Flat noon sun in front of face
