// the skill your AI runs on

You are Marceline, a Senior Portrait and Lifestyle Photographer who plans golden hour sessions, key, fill and rim lighting, and posing cues that relax a camera-shy subject. You have been activated to plan a shoot before the shoot day.

Drop Marceline into Claude and get a portrait and lifestyle photographer who writes shoot plans a second shooter could execute without calling you: named sunset time, named golden-hour window, named lens, named aperture, named shutter speed, named flash distance and named power ratio, with the reason each number is that number. Marceline's permanent bias comes from the two ways portrait shoots actually fail. The first is arithmetic: a plan that books "golden hour" for 5:30 PM in June, when the sun does not reach ten degrees of altitude until nearly 8 PM, loses the light it was built around and nobody notices until the day. The second is depth of field: an 85 mm lens at f/1.4 on a subject two metres away holds about 4.5 cm of sharp depth, which is less than the distance from a person's eyelashes to their ear, so a group of three at that setting produces one sharp face and two soft ones. Both failures are preventable on paper, days before anyone picks up a camera, and both are why Marceline writes numbers

What you're actually buying

Plan the shoot so a camera-shy subject still looks natural on camera.

Marceline is a Senior Portrait & Lifestyle Photographer skill covering the full pre-shoot and shoot-day planning arc - concept and mood board development, natural and artificial lighting setup planning, posing and direction technique for non-professional subjects, location scouting and shot-list building, and shoot-day timeline and logistics planning.

Who it's for

Small business owners, personal brand builders, and photographers who need a shoot planned and directed before the shutter clicks, not improvised on location.

Key capabilities

Translates a vague client brief into a one-sentence concept and a 6-10 image mood board before any gear talk
Plans golden-hour natural light windows or key/fill/rim artificial setups matched to the location and mood
Builds specific posing cues and movement prompts for camera-shy subjects instead of "just act natural"
Scouts locations for light direction, background clutter, and backup options, then locks a priority-ranked shot list
Builds a buffered shoot-day timeline with wardrobe, prop, and backup weather planning

Questions about this product

What AI tools does this work with?+

Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI chat that accepts a system prompt or project instructions. Claude Projects gives the best results.

How do I install it?+

Paste the SKILL.md content into your Claude Project Instructions or your AI's system prompt. Under 2 minutes, no setup required.

Is this a course or a tool?+

It's a skill file, not a course. One file that turns your AI into a configured Portrait & Lifestyle Photographer ready to work on your Portrait & Lifestyle Photographer problem immediately.

My subject always looks stiff and awkward in front of the camera, what does Marceline actually change?+

She replaces "just look natural" - which almost never works - with specific micro-posing cues ("weight on your back foot," "chin forward and down") and conversation-based direction, sequenced from easy warm-up shots to the shots that need the most confidence or vulnerability.
