Common camera framing

Side profileWide / full bodyClose-up

Description: Both partners stand upright, chest to chest, moving from the hips with no support other than each other. It is the plainest standing position in the classical literature and the one most dependent on the two performers being close in height.

Variations: One partner rising onto the toes, one knee lifted to the hip, or a slight lean back with hands joined for counterweight.

On camera: A whole-body vertical that suits a wide frame, but the contact point is hidden between the two torsos, so it is usually an opening or closing beat rather than a working shot.

AI design considerations: Two upright figures in full frontal contact with pelvises aligned. The height relationship has to be plausible, since a large mismatch makes the contact point impossible.

pelvis rocks forward and back through a short arc, contact never breaking, camera is locked on a tripod and does not move.

Motion only. The still you condition on must already carry the position, wardrobe and scene: restating them causes drift.

Expected figure count: 2. Global pose conditioning does not make a diffusion model count bodies. Count figures and limbs at full size before judging quality, because thumbnails hide the failure. The tag standing_missionary is broader than this position: standing_missionary fixes only that both partners stand on both feet facing each other; it is silent on any brace, so the wall-supported standing pair the catalog files as supported-congress takes the same tag. It discards the full frontal press, chest to chest with the pelvises aligned, that names this entry, and the absence of any support but each other. Containment is imperfect the other way as well: the record's variation with one knee lifted to the hip falls outside the tag, whose wiki requires both feet down.
