Whimsical Cloud Ascent

A small child sits inside a makeshift cardboard airplane. The child's body is tilted forward, one arm extended outward and touching artificial clouds, the other resting on the edge of the box. The child's gaze is directed forward and slightly to the side. The shot is medium-shot, angled at the child's eye level. The composition is central, with the airplane taking up the majority of the frame. He wears a brown, thick fabric pilot's hat with a fur lining along the brim, decorative glasses with clear lenses and a strap attached to the top, and a light-colored, short-sleeved T-shirt. The airplane is made of corrugated cardboard, with visible folds and layers of material. Simple cardboard wings and a tail are attached to the sides, and a small stuffed toy lies in the cockpit. The setting is studio-style, with a plain light blue background and no texture. The lower portion of the frame is filled with artificial white clouds made of synthetic fiber, creating the illusion of flight. The space is minimalist, free of additional objects. The lighting is soft studio style, with diffused frontal light evenly illuminating the face and the plane. The shadows are soft and shallow, the contrast is moderate, the highlights on the glasses and cardboard are controlled, and the background is evenly lit without gradients. Shot with a 50mm lens, medium depth of field with sharp focus on the face and the front of the plane, slightly blurred clouds in the foreground, high texture detail on the cardboard and fabric, a staged children's photo, highly detailed, photorealistic. Playful imaginative mood, soft pastel blue tones, moderate saturation, even diffused studio lighting, low contrast with gentle shadows, clean bright highlights, natural soft skin tones, light airy background, soft texture emphasis, whimsical cinematic color grading.
