{ "meta": { "aspect_ratio": "9:16", "quality": "ultra_photorealistic", "resolution": "8k", "camera": "iPhone 15 Pro Max (Main Lens)", "style": "Physical Trompe-l'œil, hyper-realistic photography, accurate scale and depth, no CGI look" }, "scene": { "location": "Home interior, hallway/living room", "lighting": { "type": "Mixed lighting: Overhead recessed warm LED + soft ambient fill from side", "effect": "The overhead light creates a bright catchlight in the living eye and casts realistic, soft shadows inside the physical keyhole opening and under the book." }, "background": "Neutral walls, white ceiling molding, dark window blinds in background left, framed art on right, all slightly out of focus" }, "illusion_mechanics": { "concept": "Physical Die-Cut Hole & True Depth", "description": "The book cover is NOT a flat image. It has a physical, die-cut hole in the exact shape of the brass keyhole graphic. Through this physical opening, the viewer sees the actual, living right eye of the person holding the book.", "depth_perception": "The keyhole has visible thickness (the cardstock of the cover). The living eye is set back from the cover plane by a realistic distance (approx. 1-2cm), creating a genuine sense of looking *through* an object to the person behind it." }, "subject": { "visible_features": "Long wavy honey-blonde hair with highlights, hands holding the book, school uniform.", "outfit": "Dark navy cable-knit cardigan, white button-up shirt, plaid tie (navy, grey, yellow stripes).", "the_eye": { "type": "Living human eye (anatomically accurate right eye)", "characteristics": "Wet sclera with subtle capillaries, complex iris pattern (hazel/brown), dilated pupil, visible blood vessels, realistic eyelashes.", "scale_and_proportion": "The eye is positioned and scaled precisely as if the book is pressed against the brow bone. It fills the keyhole naturally and anatomically correctly, without distortion.", "lighting_interaction": "The eye is lit by the room's light. A sharp, realistic catchlight from the overhead LED is visible on the cornea. The edges of the keyhole cast a soft, realistic shadow onto the skin and eyelid surrounding the eye." } }, "prop_specifications": { "object": "Paperback book '{argument name="book title" default="THE HOUSEMAID"}' by Freida McFadden", "orientation": "Vertical, held flat in front of face.
