Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing the face from just below the chin to the top of the forehead. This intimate framing emphasizes every detail of the facial features and expression. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Symmetry. The face is centered vertically, creating a sense of balance, while the eyes align with the upper third of the frame, drawing immediate attention. The vertical strip of light bisects the face, adding a dynamic asymmetry that contrasts with the overall symmetrical composition. Lighting: High-contrast chiaroscuro lighting dominates the scene. A narrow, intense beam of light, likely from a single source positioned slightly above and to the right of the camera, illuminates a vertical strip of the face. This creates a dramatic interplay of light and shadow, sculpting the features and adding depth and dimension to the image. The lighting emphasizes the texture of the skin, the sharpness of the cheekbones, and the intensity of the eyes. Color Palette: The image is dominated by deep blacks and rich, warm browns of the subject's skin. The lighting introduces golden highlights, particularly visible on the illuminated strip of the face and the earrings. This limited color palette enhances the dramatic, focused nature of the portrait. Mood and Emotion: Intense, Determined. The subject's unwavering gaze directly into the camera conveys a powerful sense of resolve and focus. The dramatic lighting amplifies this emotional intensity, creating a mood of tension and anticipation. Style: Cinematic, Hyper-realistic. The extreme detail captured in the skin texture, facial hair, and eyes, combined with the dramatic lighting, gives the image a larger-than-life quality typical of high-end film productions. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be a controlled studio environment, with the background completely blacked out to focus all attention on the subject's face. This lack of context heightens the psychological impact of the portrait. Character Placement: The subject's face fills the entire frame, with eyes positioned just above the center. The head is turned slightly to the left, allowing the strip of light to dramatically highlight the center of the face, including the bridge of the nose, lips, and part of the right eye. The subject's gaze is directed straight into the camera, creating an immediate and powerful connection with the viewer.

Extreme Close-Up shot of a determined individual’s face, framed from just below the chin to the top of the forehead, with a focus on facial features and expression. Utilize Rule of Thirds for composition, with the face centered vertically and eyes aligning with the upper third, creating balance while a narrow, intense beam of light bisects the face for dynamic asymmetry.
