Body posture correction:

Transform any casual, slouched, tilted, leaning, awkward, or random body pose into a professional upright studio posture. Subject standing or sitting with straight spine, squared shoulders, balanced neck alignment, chest naturally open, and confident posture. Keep body centered and symmetrical. Eliminate hunched shoulders, uneven posture, sideways leaning, or casual selfie angles. Pose should resemble a professional actor, model, or corporate portrait session.
