Well, here's something to try..

(I turned shadows on so it's easier to see exactly what the camera is doing.)

First, be sure the Main camera is selected and reset it. Edit/Reset...camera)

Add your figure. Add clothes and fiddle materials now or later.

Use parameter dials Dolly-y and Dolly-z to position the figure.

I also set focal length for Gobbles to 150 and Scale to 100.

Set up the lights first because they're very hard to manipulate after you've z'd the camera.

Delete lights
Add one light, make it infinite through Object/Properties
Set the intensity to about 200 to start. The more you z the camera, the darker it seems to get.

Click on the camera ball to get the Main camera's parameter dials and zet the zScale to 2500 to start.

You can rotate your figure freely.
