Peephole: a frame-within-a-frame AI photoshoot
Peephole hides the camera behind objects and shows the person only through holes, slits and tubes, with most of the frame lost in soft blur. Six frames where a small window reveals one eye, a slice of face or a distant figure in vivid cobalt.

About the peephole framing look
An 85 mm lens at f/2 sits a few centimeters from the foreground object, which melts into a huge soft blur covering 60 to 85 percent of the frame. Focus lands on the person inside the opening. Soft directional daylight lights the subject while the foreground stays dark or deeply colored. At 1/250 s everything holds still. Openings vary from a cardboard tube and fence gap to torn red paper and a keyhole.
Clothes, place and when to pick it
One vivid cobalt oversized coat with a high collar makes even a small fragment of the outfit read strongly through the gap. A silver ring shows up in the detail. haloshot frames your own face behind these openings from three phone photos. Choose it for an Instagram grid, a mysterious profile picture or a book or album cover.
