Produce a photorealistic editorial close-up portrait of a single figure, couple, or small group of individuals set in a natural, believable location. Create a design plan for the shoot based on the editor's design principles for editorial close-up portraiture. The result should be an image in which the subject expresses authentic emotions and body posture, the skin has high-quality surface detail, the hair looks like it should, and the hands and proportions are accurate. The image should also use background separation technique with soft lighting from anywhere but the camera (natural, diffused or other) plus controlled distance to background. Use a full-frame camera with an 85mm f/1.4 lens for your shoot achieving realistic bokeh plus realistic optical imperfections. If you are given a reference photo, do not change the identity or the features but simply modify the attire of the subject, pose, light, and setting of the photo.
