GPT template: appetizing lifestyle food photography by cuisine

GPT Image 2.5. A modular prompt for food shots. It's not my favorite structure but fun experiment. 2x2 grid, 16:9, do this for 4 clever viral subjects: INPUT ::= PERSONA_SEED + CUISINE_LANE + FRAME_TYPE TASTE_1 :: read the cuisine - what the cooking does to the room: wok steam, flour dust, smoke curl, citrus mist - the hero texture of this lane: pull, crackle, drip, char, lamination - honest kitchen evidence: sauce-splashed stove, stained apron, knife mid-board - hands tell the résumé: small burn scars, practiced grip, flour in the nail beds TASTE_2 :: read the frame type - POV hands = 35mm overhead-diagonal, persona's hands + forearms only, dish 60% of frame - portrait-with-dish = 50mm, persona mid-laugh or mid-taste, dish lifted into shared focus - tablescape = 24mm slightly high, persona reaching in from the edge, abundance sprawl APPETITE :: physics of delicious - steam needs backlight to exist - place the window or lamp behind the food - glisten on fats, matte on breads, condensation on cold glass - controlled mess: a torn edge, a drip caught mid-run; sterile plates kill hunger - persona's reaction is the seasoning: eyes on the food, never on the camera STAGE :: warm frame - 4:5, shallow depth (f/2.2), warm-neutral grade, no orange oversaturation - kitchen or table is mid-use, not styled dead - the unforgettable feature survives the crop even in the POV hands variant BAR :: the viewer's mouth reacts before their brain does, and the hands could plausibly have cooked this for ten years
