Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing their profile from the neck up. The face fills most of the frame, with particular focus on the eye and cheek area where the butterflies rest. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Depth of Field. The subject's face is positioned along the left vertical third line, with their eye falling near the upper left intersection point. Shallow depth of field blurs the background, creating a dreamy atmosphere and drawing attention to the sharp details of the butterflies and facial features. Lighting: Soft, warm side lighting emanates from the right side of the frame, creating a golden hour effect. This lighting bathes the subject in a rich, amber glow, casting subtle shadows that enhance the contours of the face and the delicate wings of the butterflies. The light source seems natural, reminiscent of a setting sun, and interacts with the environment to create a hazy, ethereal quality. Color Palette: The scene is dominated by warm tones. Deep oranges and ambers create the overall mood, with touches of yellow in the butterfly wings. The subject's skin takes on a golden hue from the lighting, while darker browns and blacks provide contrast in the hair and shadowed areas. This warm palette evokes a sense of magic and transformation. Mood and Emotion: The image conveys a sense of Serenity and Wonder. The subject's closed eyes and peaceful expression, combined with the surreal presence of the butterflies, create a dreamlike state that invites contemplation and awe. There's an underlying theme of transformation and harmony with nature. Style: The image blends Surrealism with Cinematic elements. While highly stylized, the photorealistic quality of the skin texture and butterfly details grounds the image in a tangible reality. The dreamy lighting and compositing of elements push it into a surreal realm, creating a hyper-realistic yet fantastical scene. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be an abstract, undefined space. The background is completely blurred, focusing all attention on the subject and the butterflies. This lack of specific location reinforces the dreamlike quality of the image, suggesting an internal, psychological space rather than a physical environment. Character Placement: The subject's face is in profile, turned slightly towards the camera to reveal the eye and cheek. Their expression is serene, with eyes gently closed. Three butterflies are strategically placed on the face: one rests delicately on the eyelid, its wings partially open; another sits on the cheekbone, wings fully spread; the third is positioned near the jaw, its wings casting a subtle shadow. The butterflies appear to be yellow swallowtails, their vibrant wings contrasting beautifully with the warm skin tones. The subject's hair is styled in a short, tousled manner, adding texture to the image. Every strand seems to catch the light, creating a halo effect around the head. The skin texture is remarkably detailed, with fine pores and subtle imperfections visible, enhancing the realism despite the surreal concept. The composition creates a sense of intimacy and wonder, inviting the viewer to explore the delicate balance between the human form and the natural world. The butterflies seem both foreign and perfectly at home on the subject's face, suggesting a profound connection or transformation taking place. This juxtaposition of elements – the soft human skin against the delicate insect wings – creates a visual metaphor for growth, change, and the beauty of embracing one's true nature.
