Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing the head and upper torso in sharp detail. The framing is tight, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the figure. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Symmetry. The subject's face is centered vertically, occupying the top third of the frame. The body creates a symmetrical silhouette that anchors the lower two-thirds of the image. Lighting: Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting. A strong, warm light source illuminates the subject's face from the front, creating an intense orange glow that seems to emanate from within. This light sharply contrasts with the deep shadows enveloping the rest of the figure, resulting in a striking interplay of light and dark. Color Palette: The scene is dominated by a rich, warm orange that bathes the subject's face, transitioning to deep blacks that outline the figure's form. A soft, pastel pink streaks across the upper background, providing a subtle contrast to the intense foreground colors. Mood and Emotion: The image evokes a sense of introspection and otherworldliness. The closed eyes of the subject suggest a state of deep contemplation or perhaps a trance-like condition. The stark contrast between the illuminated face and the dark body creates a feeling of duality or inner conflict. Style: The image blends elements of surrealism and minimalism. The hyper-realistic rendering of the face contrasts with the abstract, silhouetted body, creating a dreamlike quality that challenges perceptions of reality. Location and Setting: The setting is abstract and undefined, focusing entirely on the subject against a minimalist background. This lack of context heightens the enigmatic nature of the image, allowing the viewer to project their own interpretations onto the scene. Character Placement: The figure is positioned centrally in the frame, facing directly towards the camera. The head is tilted slightly upward, with closed eyes facing the light source. The neck is elongated, creating a graceful curve that leads into the shoulders and torso, which fade into darkness at the bottom of the frame. The subject's features are androgynous, with high cheekbones and a strong jawline softened by the warm light. The skin appears smooth and flawless, almost artificial in its perfection. The hairline is sharp and well-defined, with short, close-cropped hair that blends into the shadows. The transition from the illuminated face to the darkened body is abrupt, creating a clear delineation between light and shadow. This sharp contrast emphasizes the sculptural quality of the figure, turning the human form into an abstract study of shape and light. The background is minimally detailed, with a soft gradient from a pale, peachy pink at the top to a cooler, more neutral tone at the bottom. This subtle shift in color adds depth to the image without distracting from the central figure. The overall effect is one of isolation and introspection. The figure appears suspended in a void, disconnected from any earthly context. This isolation, combined with the closed eyes and upturned face, suggests a moment of deep inner focus or spiritual connection. The technical execution of the image is flawless, with razor-sharp detail in the illuminated areas and rich, velvety blacks in the shadows. The lighting is precisely controlled, creating a three-dimensional effect that makes the figure appear to emerge from the flat plane of the image. Every element of the composition works together to create a powerful, enigmatic portrait that invites contemplation and multiple interpretations. The image successfully blends realism with abstraction, using the human form as a canvas for exploring themes of light, darkness, and the nature of consciousness.

Prompt for Flux
Close-up shot of an androgynous figure's head and upper torso, framed tightly to emphasize its sculptural quality. Employing the rule of thirds for composition, the subject’s face is centered, occupying the top third, while a symmetrical silhouette anchors the lower two-thirds. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting illuminates the face with a strong, warm orange glow that creates an intense, almost ethereal atmosphere, contrasting deeply with the dark shades of the body. The color palette features rich oranges dominating the scene, with deep blacks outlining the figure, complemented by pastel pink streaks in the upper background, adding subtle contrast. The mood evokes introspection and otherworldliness, conveyed through closed eyes suggesting contemplation. The stark contrast between the illuminated face and dark body enhances a feeling of duality. The style merges surrealism with minimalism, featuring hyper-realistic facial rendering juxtaposed against an abstract silhouette. The undefined, abstract setting focuses entirely on the subject, allowing viewers to project their interpretations. The character is centrally positioned, head tilted slightly upward, eyes closed, with a graceful neck leading into a torso that fades into darkness. The androgynous features exhibit high cheekbones and a strong jawline softened by light, complemented by smooth, flawless skin, and short, close-cropped hair blending into shadows. The abrupt transition from light to dark enhances the figure’s sculptural quality, and the minimally detailed background features a soft gradient from pale peach at the top to a neutral tone at the bottom. Every element harmonizes, creating a powerful, enigmatic portrait that invites contemplation and exploration of themes related to consciousness, light, and darkness, executed in razor-sharp detail with rich blacks and precise lighting for a three-dimensional effect.
