Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Medium Close-Up. The camera is positioned at eye level, capturing the subject's head and upper body in profile. The framing is tight, emphasizing the subject's distinctive features and creating an intimate yet slightly claustrophobic feel. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines. The subject's face is placed along the right vertical third line, with their gaze leading out of the frame. The mohawk creates a strong vertical line, drawing attention to the top of the frame. The subject's jawline and the collar of their jacket form leading lines that guide the eye across the image. Lighting: High-contrast, low-key lighting. A strong key light illuminates the subject from the left side of the frame, creating deep shadows on the right side of their face and neck. This chiaroscuro effect emphasizes the texture of the skin and the spiky mohawk hairstyle. The background is almost completely black, further accentuating the subject's silhouette. Color Palette: Black, White, Gray. The monochromatic palette enhances the dramatic mood, with stark whites in the highlighted areas of the face and hair contrasting sharply with the deep blacks of the background and clothing. Subtle gray tones provide depth and dimension to the skin and facial features. Mood and Emotion: Tense, Mysterious. The high contrast and sharp angles create a sense of unease and intrigue. The subject's stoic expression and off-camera gaze suggest a hidden narrative or inner conflict. Style: Film Noir, Cinematic. The use of dramatic lighting, stark contrasts, and a monochromatic palette evokes classic film noir aesthetics. The composition and framing give the image a cinematic quality, as if extracted from a suspenseful movie scene. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be an urban, industrial space. While the background is mostly obscured, the presence of what seems to be a metal structure or beam in the upper left corner hints at a gritty, possibly abandoned location. This adds to the overall mysterious and slightly dangerous atmosphere. Character Placement: The subject is positioned in the right third of the frame, facing left. Their body is turned slightly away from the camera, with their head in profile. The mohawk hairstyle is prominently displayed, creating a striking silhouette against the dark background. The subject's posture is upright and alert, with their chin slightly raised, conveying a sense of defiance or vigilance. The subject wears what appears to be a dark, structured jacket or coat with a high collar, adding to their imposing presence. Their facial features are sharp and well-defined, with high cheekbones and a strong jawline accentuated by the lighting. The eye visible in profile is intently focused on something outside the frame, adding to the sense of tension and anticipation in the scene. In the background, barely visible, is a cylindrical object that could be an industrial lamp or piece of machinery. This further reinforces the urban, possibly post-industrial setting of the scene. The overall effect is one of heightened drama and intensity, with every element from the lighting to the composition working together to create a powerful and memorable image that captures the essence of urban edginess and film noir aesthetics.

Prompt for Flux
"Create an image with a Medium Close-Up shot. Position the camera at eye level to capture the subject's head and upper body in profile, with a tight frame that highlights distinct features, evoking an intimate yet claustrophobic atmosphere. Employ the Rule of Thirds and Leading Lines for composition; place the subject’s face along the right vertical third line while their gaze leads out of the frame. Emphasize the strong vertical line of the mohawk that draws attention to the top of the frame, with the jawline and collar of their dark jacket forming additional leading lines across the image. Use high-contrast, low-key lighting with a strong key light illuminating from the left, casting deep shadows on the right side of the subject’s face to enhance textures and the spiky mohawk hairstyle. The stark black background accentuates the silhouette, using a monochromatic color palette of black, white, and gray to create a dramatic mood. Capture a tense, mysterious atmosphere where the high contrast and angular shadows evoke unease. Implement a Film Noir cinematic style with dramatic lighting, stark contrasts, and a composition reminiscent of classic suspense movies. Set the scene in an urban, industrial environment; a hint of a metal structure or beam in the upper left corner suggests a gritty, abandoned locale, enriching the overall mysterious vibe. Position the subject in the right third, slightly turned away from the camera with the mohawk prominently displayed, enhancing their defiant posture. They wear a structured dark jacket with a high collar, their sharp facial features illuminated by the lighting, with the one visible eye focused intently outside the frame to heighten tension. In the barely visible background, a cylindrical shape resembling industrial equipment adds to this post-industrial context. The cumulative effect should convey heightened drama, with every detail collaborating to create a powerful, memorable image that encapsulates urban edginess and film noir aesthetics."
