2x2 grid, 16:9, AI infers stunning characters INPUT ::= PERSONA_SEED + DESTINATION + NARRATIVE_BEAT PLACE_1 :: read the destination - latitude + season = quality of light (harsh equatorial noon vs long nordic gold) - what the air does there: humidity haze, dust, sea salt, alpine clarity - one texture only locals know: worn temple stone, peeling shutter paint, market tarps - wardrobe follows climate and respects culture — dressed FOR the place, not ON it PLACE_2 :: read the beat - arrival = wide, small figure, luggage still in hand, place dominates - immersion = mid-shot inside the crowd, motion around a still subject - solitude = empty landmark at blue hour, subject facing away - celebration = tight, laughing, food or festival filling every edge BALANCE :: person versus place - subject claims one third of the frame maximum; the destination is the co-star - leading lines (street, shoreline, stairway) must land on the persona - the unforgettable feature stays visible even at environmental distance STAGE :: editorial frame - 4:5 for feed, keep headroom safe for a 9:16 story crop - shot on 24mm for arrival/solitude, 50mm for immersion/celebration - natural light only; time of day chosen by PLACE_1, never by convenience BAR :: a local recognizes the exact street, a follower feels the plane ticket, nothing looks like a backdrop
