Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing their face in intimate detail from just below the chin to the top of their head. The proximity allows for a clear view of facial features and expressions on both sides of the divided image. Composition Techniques: Symmetry is the dominant technique, with the face split precisely down the middle, creating two distinct halves. The chain-link fence in the background forms a grid pattern, adding depth and texture. The subject's eyes serve as focal points, positioned along the upper third of the frame, adhering to the Rule of Thirds. Lighting: The lighting differs dramatically between the two halves. The grayscale side suggests soft, diffused lighting that highlights the contours of the face without harsh shadows, emphasizing a somber mood. The color side appears to have more vibrant, direct lighting that accentuates the warm tones of the skin and the brightness of the smile, possibly indicating natural sunlight. Color Palette: The image is starkly divided between monochrome and color. The left side uses shades of gray and black, creating a sense of depth through tonal variation. The right side bursts with warm browns of the skin, a flash of white teeth, and hints of yellow in the clothing, contrasting sharply with the cooler tones of the fence background. Mood and Emotion: The duality of the image evokes contrasting emotions. The grayscale side conveys melancholy and introspection, with a slightly downturned mouth and a pensive gaze. The color side radiates joy and exuberance, with a wide, genuine smile and crinkled eyes suggesting laughter. This juxtaposition creates a complex emotional landscape, suggesting the multifaceted nature of human experience. Style: The image blends realism with a conceptual approach. The photorealistic detail captures the texture of the skin, the intricacies of the dreadlocks, and the metallic sheen of the fence. However, the split composition introduces a surrealistic element, creating a visual metaphor for internal emotional states. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be an urban environment, as indicated by the chain-link fence in the background. This industrial element contrasts with the intimacy of the portrait, suggesting themes of confinement or separation juxtaposed with personal expression. Character Placement: The subject's face fills the frame, centered both vertically and horizontally. Their dreadlocks extend to the edges of the image, creating a frame within the frame. The split occurs precisely down the center of the nose, dividing the face into two distinct personas. On the left, grayscale side, the expression is neutral to somber, with the eye looking slightly down and to the side. On the right, color side, the face is animated with a broad smile, teeth visible, and the eye crinkled in genuine joy. The hand on this side touches the face near the mouth, emphasizing the smile and adding a dynamic element to the composition.

Prompt for Flux
"Create an extreme close-up portrait that captures the intricate details of a person's face, split down the middle to showcase two contrasting emotions. The camera is positioned directly in front, from just below the chin to the top of the head, highlighting facial features and expressions on both sides. Use symmetry as the primary composition technique, with the face perfectly divided, and a chain-link fence in the background adding depth and texture through its grid pattern. The eyes act as focal points, aligned along the upper third of the frame to comply with the Rule of Thirds.
Implement striking lighting differences; the left side in soft, diffused grayscale, evoking melancholy, while the right side booms with bright, vibrant color, illuminating warm skin tones and a bright smile under natural sunlight. The color palette starkly divides the image into shades of gray and black on the left, contrasting with the lively warm browns and hints of yellow on the right.
Evoke complex emotions through the juxtaposition: the grayscale expression conveys introspection with a slightly downturned mouth, whereas the colorful side radiates joy with a broad, genuine smile. Blend realism with a conceptual approach, capturing photorealistic skin textures, the details of dreadlocks, and the metallic sheen of the fence while incorporating a surrealistic split that symbolizes the internal emotional states.
Set this portrait in an urban environment, symbolized by the chain-link fence, reflecting themes of confinement against personal expression. The subject's face should dominate the frame, perfectly centered, with dreadlocks extending outward. Ensure the split occurs precisely down the center of the nose, presenting two distinct personas: the left side somber and neutral, gazing slightly downward, and the right side animated, beaming with happiness, fingers playfully touching near the mouth to enhance the joyfulness of the expression."

Camera 1
The camera slowly pushes in on the grayscale side, emphasizing the introspective mood. As it moves closer, subtle details in the texture of the skin and the depth in the eye become more pronounced, intensifying the sense of melancholy.
Camera 2
A gentle pan from left to right reveals the transition from grayscale to color. The movement is smooth and deliberate, mirroring the emotional journey from contemplation to joy, with the fence background sliding past to accentuate the motion.
Camera 3
The camera pulls back smoothly, revealing more of the urban setting behind the fence. As it widens, the duality of the portrait becomes a smaller part of a larger, complex environment, symbolizing the subject's place within a broader context.
