Rim Lighting

Background

Rim light traces a luminous outline that lifts the subject off the background. It is separation jewelry—subtle enough to feel expensive, strong enough to sculpt. Place it opposite the key.

Prompt

Includes camera move matched to the title, plus lens triad extras: focal length, aperture/T-stop, ISO, shutter, white balance, and the story being filmed.
