Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Medium Close-Up. The camera is positioned to capture a profile view of a woman's face and upper body, creating an intimate yet abstracted portrait.
Composition Techniques: The image employs leading lines through vertical bars that segment the portrait, creating a rhythmic visual pattern. Asymmetry is used to add tension and intrigue, with the subject positioned off-center. The portrait is framed by negative space, emphasizing the subject's isolation.
Lighting: High-contrast, low-key lighting sculpts the subject's features. A strong key light from the left side creates dramatic highlights on the face, while deep shadows envelop the rest of the image. This chiaroscuro effect adds depth and mystery.
Color Palette: The image is monochromatic, utilizing a full range of tones from pure white to deep black, with rich gradients of gray in between. This stark palette enhances the graphic quality and emotional intensity of the portrait.
Mood and Emotion: The fragmented view and high contrast evoke a sense of melancholy, introspection, and psychological complexity. There's an underlying tension between revelation and concealment, suggesting inner turmoil or a multi-faceted personality.
Style: The portrait blends elements of film noir with surrealism and minimalism. The stark black and white treatment and dramatic lighting recall classic cinema, while the fragmentation introduces a contemporary, abstract edge.
Location and Setting: The setting is minimalist and abstract, focusing entirely on the subject against a neutral background. This lack of context heightens the psychological focus of the image.
Character Placement: The woman is positioned in profile, facing left. Her silhouette is clearly defined against the lighter background. The vertical bars segment her face and upper body, creating a series of disjointed yet connected images. Her expression appears contemplative, with eyes closed or downcast, enhancing the introspective mood.
Textural Details: The image has a smooth, polished quality with sharp edges where the bars intersect the portrait. The woman's skin appears flawless, almost sculptural in its rendering of light and shadow. Hair texture is minimized, focusing instead on its overall shape and how it interacts with the segmentation.
Symbolism: The fragmentation of the portrait could symbolize a fractured sense of self, multiple identities, or the complexity of human nature. The interplay of light and shadow might represent the duality of inner and outer selves, or the contrast between public persona and private thoughts.

Prompt for Flux
"Create a medium close-up portrait of a woman, capturing a profile view of her face and upper body in an intimate yet abstract manner. Utilize leading lines with vertical bars that segment the portrait, establishing a rhythmic visual pattern that adds intrigue through asymmetry and positions the subject off-center. Frame the composition with ample negative space to emphasize the subject's isolation. Apply high-contrast, low-key lighting to sculpt her features, using a strong key light from the left side to create dramatic highlights on her face, while enveloping the rest of the image in deep shadows, achieving a chiaroscuro effect for added depth and mystery. The color palette should be monochromatic, ranging from pure white to rich deep black with complex gradients of gray, enhancing the graphic quality and emotional intensity of the piece. Capture a mood of melancholy and introspection, highlighting the tension between revelation and concealment, suggesting inner turmoil or a multifaceted personality. Infuse elements of film noir, surrealism, and minimalism into the portrait, reminiscent of classic cinema, yet introducing a contemporary, abstract edge through fragmentation. Set the scene against a neutral, minimalist background to heighten the psychological focus on the subject. Position the woman in profile, facing left, ensuring her silhouette is sharply defined against the lighter backdrop. The vertical bars should create disjointed yet connected images throughout her face and upper body. Her expression should be contemplative, with closed or downcast eyes that reinforce the introspective mood. Maintain a smooth, polished quality in the image, with sharp edges created by the bar intersections. The woman’s skin should appear flawless and sculptural in its light and shadow rendering, while hair texture is minimized, focusing on its shape and interaction with the segmentation. Symbolically, the fragmentation may represent a fractured sense of self or the complexity of human nature, with the interplay of light and shadow reflecting the duality of inner versus outer selves."
