Handheld Glow — AI Camera Motion Preset
Shot by a friend with great taste.
Gentle handheld sway, soft organic drift, a frame that breathes like someone was actually there holding the camera. No rig, no robotic smoothness — just warm, human, documentary-style movement that makes a portrait feel alive and unposed.
