# Fisheye Optics

> Center expansion, wrapped compressed edges and pronounced barrel curvature create a coherent, believable fisheye field of view.

## About this style

One coherent fisheye projection slightly expands the center while continuously wrapping and compressing the periphery. Peripheral lines bend clearly and foreground contours gain barrel tension without losing spatial continuity.

Fisheye projection accommodates a wide field through systematic curvature.

A readable corridor center, outward-curving side walls and enlarged nearby feet can make space feel wrapped around the viewer.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Features or limbs near the viewpoint enlarge, creating exaggerated proportions and forceful gestures.

- **Landscape**: Horizons and straight building edges curve toward the frame, while an enlarged foreground surrounds the viewer.

- **Object**: The closest part grows and side edges recede, giving even regular objects a bulging perspective.

**Subjects**: Choose gestures reaching toward the camera, narrow interiors, courtyards or close objects, placing the intended emphasis in the foreground.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Present the existing space through a convincing full-frame fisheye projection. Expand the center moderately while compressing and wrapping the edges continuously; peripheral straight lines bend clearly and foreground contours develop barrel tension. Retain natural materials, realistic light and the subjects' broad relative positions. Derive the distortion from one coherent optical projection, using continuous perspective and clear detail to produce an immersive wide-angle view.
