Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned to capture the subject's profile from the neck up, emphasizing the intricate details of the face, neck, and shoulder. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines. The subject's face occupies the right third of the frame, with the glowing veins acting as leading lines that draw the eye across the image. The upward tilt of the chin creates a dynamic diagonal line. Lighting: Low-key lighting with a subtle edge light. The main light source appears to be coming from the front-right, casting soft shadows and highlighting the contours of the face. The glowing blue veins provide an additional, internal light source that contrasts sharply with the dark skin. Color Palette: Black dominates the image, creating a rich, velvety backdrop and skin tone. Electric blue provides a striking contrast, appearing in thin, branching lines across the skin. Subtle hints of grey are visible in the hair texture and skin highlights. Mood and Emotion: Serene yet powerful. The closed eyes and slightly upturned face suggest a moment of inner peace or meditation, while the glowing veins imply an inner strength or energy. Style: Surrealism meets high-fashion photography. The image blends realistic portrait techniques with fantastical elements, creating a dreamlike quality that challenges perception. Location and Setting: Studio setting with a black backdrop, focusing all attention on the subject. The lack of environmental context enhances the otherworldly feel of the image. Character Placement: The subject is positioned in profile, facing left. Their chin is slightly raised, elongating the neck. Eyes are closed, lips slightly parted. The shoulder is bare, suggesting the subject is unclothed. Curled hair is visible at the back of the head. Skin Texture: The skin appears smooth and flawless, with a deep, rich black tone that absorbs light, creating a stark canvas for the glowing veins. Vein Pattern: Electric blue veins branch out in an organic, lightning-like pattern across the face, neck, and visible portion of the shoulder. They appear to glow from within, suggesting an internal energy source. Hair: Tightly curled hair is visible at the back of the head, adding texture and dimension to the silhouette. Facial Features: The profile reveals a strong jawline, full lips, a defined nose, and closed eyelids. The features are elegantly sculpted, emphasizing the subject's beauty. Depth and Dimension: Despite the dark tones, there's a clear sense of depth created by the subtle highlights on the skin and the glowing veins that wrap around the contours of the face and body. Symbolism: The glowing veins could represent inner power, energy, or life force made visible. The image seems to explore themes of hidden strength, the merging of technology and humanity, or the visualization of typically unseen bodily systems. Artistic Intention: The photograph appears to challenge traditional notions of beauty and humanity, blending natural forms with surreal, technological elements. It invites contemplation on themes of identity, energy, and the potential of the human form.

Prompt for Flux
"Create an extreme close-up portrait that captures the profile of a subject from the neck up, emphasizing the intricate details of their face, neck, and shoulder. Employ the rule of thirds to position the subject's face in the right third of the frame, utilizing glowing blue veins as leading lines to draw the viewer's gaze across the image. The chin should be slightly upward, creating a dynamic diagonal line that enhances the composition. Use low-key lighting with a subtle edge light coming from the front-right, casting soft shadows and highlighting the face's contours, while the glowing blue veins act as an internal light source that sharply contrasts the rich, dark skin. The color palette should be dominated by blacks, creating a velvety backdrop for the electric blue veins threading across the skin, with subtle hints of grey adding texture to the hair and highlights. The mood should convey a serene yet powerful essence, capturing a moment of inner peace or meditation through closed eyes and an upturned face, while the glowing veins suggest hidden strength. Blend elements of surrealism and high-fashion photography for a dreamlike quality, placing the subject against a black studio backdrop to eliminate environmental distractions. Position the subject in profile, looking left, with slightly parted lips and a bare shoulder, showcasing tightly curled hair visible at the back of the head. The skin texture appears smooth and flawless, with a deep, rich hue that absorbs light, providing an ideal canvas for the glowing veins that radiate an inner energy in an organic, lightning-like pattern. Highlight strong facial features such as a well-defined jawline, full lips, and a sculpted nose, ensuring depth is created through subtle highlights on the skin and the glowing veins accentuating contours. Symbolism should be interwoven throughout, with the glowing veins representing inner power and life force, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of identity and the fusion of technology with humanity, ultimately challenging traditional notions of beauty and exploring the potential of the human form."
