📋 About This Mod

As a published professional portrait photographer with over a decade of experience, I created this mod to bring a more professional touch to Cyberpunk 2077's photo mode. With my mod, you'll have access to nine carefully crafted shots that closely mirror those a real pro portrait photographer would use.

As you can see in the above demonstration, My shots are designed specifically for professional portraits, in contrast to the built-in options which are tailored for action shots. The aim is to provide users with a foundation to build upon and create truly stunning shots.

Choose from 9 unique options that range from full body shots to intimate close-ups. Presets 1-5 are horizontally oriented, progressively moving closer to your character's face. Presets 6-9 are vertically oriented and are mirrored versions of Presets 1-5. 6 is the most zoomed-in shot, while Preset 9 is a full body shot.

In addition to the mod script, I have included the necessary Reshade file for Long Exposure. This file helps reduce pixelation and ensures smoother photos. Additionally, there's a filter called Freeze Shot, which is a bit misleading as its main purpose is to rotate vertical shots by 90 degrees for better framing, as seen in the video. To make things more convenient, I suggest assigning hotkeys to both these features, eliminating the need to access the Reshade UI. This way, you can quickly and easily utilize these functionalities while capturing your perfect shots.

My shots are just starting points - I encourage you to experiment and make them your own! Use my presets as a foundation for your own creativity, and find the perfect shot for your character.

Note: Some of my presets require at least 10 meters (32 feet) of free space directly in front of you. This will give you the room you need to position your camera and capture stunning portrait shots. If you're having trouble with a particular shot, try moving to a more open area or adjusting your position to give your camera more space.

Also, your saved custom presets are safe, and are not affected by this mod.

Update: I've uploaded an updated mod that accompanies this one perfectly, if you enjoy fast casual shoots like me.
