Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned intimately close to the subject's face, capturing only a portion of it from the nose to the top of the head. This proximity creates an intense, almost invasive perspective that draws the viewer into the subject's personal space.
Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Depth of Field. The subject's face is positioned off-center, aligning with the rule of thirds for a visually engaging composition. The shallow depth of field blurs the background, focusing attention solely on the subject's features.
Lighting: Soft, diffused lighting envelops the subject, likely from a large light source positioned to the left of the frame. This creates gentle shadows and highlights, emphasizing the contours of the face without harsh contrasts. The lighting contributes to the dreamy, ethereal atmosphere of the image.
Color Palette: Black, White, Gray. The monochromatic palette adds to the timeless, ethereal quality of the image. Subtle gradations of gray create depth and dimension, while the deep blacks in the background and hair contrast with the softer tones of the skin.
Mood and Emotion: Melancholic, Serene. The soft focus and gentle lighting evoke a sense of introspection and quietude. The subject's closed eyes and slightly parted lips suggest a moment of vulnerability or deep contemplation.
Style: Minimalism, Cinematic. The image embraces a minimalist aesthetic, focusing solely on the essential elements of the face. The cinematic quality is achieved through the dramatic lighting and composition, reminiscent of art house films.
Location and Setting: The setting is deliberately ambiguous, with the background completely blurred and darkened. This absence of context focuses all attention on the subject and enhances the dreamlike quality of the image.
Character Placement: The subject occupies the majority of the frame, facing slightly to the right. Their head is tilted back, exposing the neck and emphasizing the curve of the jaw. Eyes are closed, and lips are slightly parted, creating a sense of peaceful surrender or deep emotion. Wisps of hair float around the face, suggesting movement or weightlessness.
Texture and Detail: Despite the soft focus, there's a palpable sense of texture in the image. The skin appears smooth and luminous, catching the light in a way that accentuates its softness. The hair, though blurred, conveys a sense of silkiness and movement. The transition from the sharpest areas of focus to the blurred edges creates a gradual softening effect that enhances the ethereal mood.

Prompt for Flux
"Create an extreme close-up of a serene, melancholic face that captures only the nose to the top of the head, conveying an intimate and almost invasive perspective. Utilize the rule of thirds for dynamic composition, positioning the subject's face off-center. Implement a shallow depth of field to blur the completely darkened background, ensuring all attention remains on the subject's features. Employ soft, diffused lighting coming from the left, bathing the face in gentle shadows and highlights to emphasize contours without harsh contrasts, enhancing the dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. Embrace a monochromatic color palette in shades of black, white, and gray, with subtle gradations of gray amplifying depth, while rich blacks in the background provide stark contrast to the soft skin tones. Evoke a sense of introspection and vulnerability, depicted through the subject's closed eyes and slightly parted lips, suggesting deep contemplation. Capture a minimalist, cinematic style reminiscent of art house films through the dramatic lighting and composition. Maintain a deliberately ambiguous setting with a blurred background that heightens the dreamlike quality, drawing focus solely to the subject. The character should fill most of the frame, facing slightly right, with their head tilted back to reveal the graceful curve of the jaw, exuding a peaceful surrender. Incorporate wisps of hair suggesting movement, creating a sense of weightlessness, while retaining minute textural details that highlight the smooth, luminous quality of the skin and the silky nature of the hair. The overall image should present a journey from sharp focus to soft edges, enhancing the ethereal mood."
