Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing the head and upper shoulders in sharp detail. The framing is tight, emphasizing the facial features and the interplay of light and shadow. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Symmetry. The subject's face is positioned slightly off-center, aligning with the right vertical third line. The circular red background creates a symmetrical frame, balancing the composition. The subject's illuminated face acts as a focal point, drawing the viewer's gaze. Lighting: Dramatic side lighting from the left creates a chiaroscuro effect. The light source appears to be a strong, focused beam, potentially from a studio light or projector. It casts a circular pattern on the subject's face, illuminating only a portion while leaving the rest in deep shadow. This creates a striking contrast between light and dark areas. Color Palette: The image is dominated by a rich, deep red that forms the circular background. This is contrasted sharply with the deep black of the subject's silhouette and the surrounding negative space. The illuminated portion of the face appears in warm, orange-tinted tones, likely influenced by the red background. Mood and Emotion: The scene evokes a sense of introspection and serenity. The subject's closed eyes and calm expression suggest deep thought or meditation. The stark contrast and minimalist composition create a mood of mystery and drama. Style: The image employs a minimalist aesthetic with elements of surrealism. The stark contrast and limited color palette create a bold, graphic quality reminiscent of high-fashion or avant-garde photography. The unusual lighting technique adds a surreal touch to an otherwise realistic portrait. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be a controlled studio environment. The background is a perfect circle of red, likely achieved through projection or post-processing. The lack of environmental details focuses all attention on the subject and the interplay of light and shadow. Character Placement: The subject is positioned centrally in the frame, facing directly towards the camera. Their head is tilted slightly downward, with eyes closed. The shoulders are bare, suggesting the subject may be unclothed or wearing a strapless garment. The red circle perfectly frames the head, creating a halo-like effect. The subject appears to be wearing a close-fitting black garment or body paint that blends seamlessly with the shadowed areas, creating a striking silhouette effect. The skin texture in the illuminated areas is smooth and flawless, suggesting meticulous attention to detail in makeup and lighting. The circular light pattern on the face is precisely positioned, illuminating the right eye, cheekbone, and a portion of the nose and lips. This creates a crescent moon-like shape of light that contrasts beautifully with the deep shadows. The hair is short or tightly pulled back, maintaining a clean silhouette against the red background. There are no visible accessories or additional elements, maintaining the minimalist aesthetic. The edges of the red circle are sharp and well-defined, suggesting careful post-processing or precise lighting control. The transition from the red background to the black surrounding area is abrupt, enhancing the graphic quality of the image. The overall effect is one of carefully crafted visual impact, blending elements of portrait photography with abstract and surrealist influences to create a powerful and memorable image.

Prompt for Flux
Close-Up shot of a serene subject with closed eyes positioned slightly off-center against a rich, deep red circular background, utilizing the Rule of Thirds for balanced symmetry. The subject’s head and upper shoulders are captured in sharp detail, with tight framing that draws the viewer's gaze. Dramatic side lighting from the left creates a striking chiaroscuro effect, casting a controlled circular light pattern illuminating the right eye, cheekbone, and a portion of the nose while leaving the rest in deep shadow. The overall color palette consists of deep black for the silhouette contrasted with warm, orange-tinted highlights on the illuminated skin. The calm expression exudes introspection, the minimalist composition evokes mystery, and the avant-garde style blends realistic portrait techniques with surreal elements. Set in a controlled studio environment, the starkness of the background emphasizes the subject, who may be unclothed or in a strapless garment, enhancing the silhouette against the bold red. The edges of the circular background are crisp and well-defined, underscoring the graphic quality of the image, with the smooth skin texture hinting at meticulous lighting and makeup. No visible accessories maintain the minimalist aesthetic, resulting in a powerful and memorable visual that blends elements of portrait photography with abstract surrealism.
