Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing their face and upper shoulders. The framing is tight, emphasizing the facial features and the play of light across the skin. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Asymmetry. The subject's face is positioned slightly off-center, with their eyes aligned along the upper third line. The asymmetrical lighting creates a dynamic balance, with the red light dominating the left side and the blue light on the right. Lighting: The scene is illuminated by two primary light sources: a strong red light coming from the left and a blue light from the right. These create a sharp contrast across the subject's face, with the red light casting a warm glow on the left side and the blue light creating cool tones on the right. The lighting is intense and directional, creating deep shadows and highlighting the contours of the face. Color Palette: The dominant colors are a deep, electric blue and a vibrant, almost neon red. These colors clash dramatically across the subject's face, creating a stark divide. The background appears to be a deep, saturated blue, darker than the blue light on the subject. The subject's skin tones are altered by the colored lighting, appearing warm and flushed on the red side and cool and ethereal on the blue side. Mood and Emotion: The scene evokes a sense of intensity and mystery. The subject's expression is serious and focused, with their eyes gazing directly into the camera, creating a powerful connection with the viewer. The contrasting colors and sharp lighting add to the dramatic and slightly unsettling atmosphere. Style: The image has a highly cinematic and stylized appearance, reminiscent of cyberpunk aesthetics. While photorealistic in its capture of skin texture and facial details, the dramatic lighting and color treatment push it towards a hyper-realistic style. The overall effect is both futuristic and slightly surreal. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be a controlled studio environment. The background is completely dark, focusing all attention on the subject. There are no visible props or additional elements, creating a minimalist backdrop that emphasizes the lighting and the subject's features. Character Placement: The subject, a person with long, light-colored hair, is positioned centrally in the frame. Their head is turned slightly towards the camera, with their chin lowered slightly, creating a subtle angle. The shoulders are visible at the bottom of the frame, suggesting they are wearing dark clothing. The hair falls loosely, with some strands highlighted by the blue light, creating a ethereal effect. The subject's facial features are clearly defined: high cheekbones, a straight nose, and full lips. Their eyes are the focal point, reflecting both the red and blue lights and appearing to change color depending on which side of the face you focus on. The skin texture is visible, with the colored lights accentuating every detail, from the slight sheen on the forehead to the subtle contours around the mouth and jawline. The division of color on the face is not a perfect split; there's a gradual blend in the center where the red and blue lights meet, creating a brief area of purple tones. This blending area adds depth and complexity to the image, preventing it from looking too artificially divided. The hair catches the light in interesting ways, with the blue light creating highlights that make it appear almost luminescent on one side. On the red side, the hair takes on warmer tones, adding to the overall contrast of the image. The precise control of the lighting creates a sculptural quality to the face, emphasizing bone structure and creating dramatic shadows under the cheekbones and along the jawline. This interplay of light and shadow adds to the three-dimensional quality of the image, making it feel almost tangible despite its stylized nature.

Prompt for Flux
"Close-Up shot of a person with long, light-colored hair, centered in the frame, capturing their face and upper shoulders with tight framing to emphasize facial features and light play across the skin. The composition utilizes the Rule of Thirds and Asymmetry, positioning the subject's face slightly off-center, eyes along the upper third line. The scene is dramatically illuminated by two primary light sources: a strong red light from the left and a blue light from the right, creating sharp contrasts and deep shadows, highlighting the contours of the face. The dominant color palette features deep electric blue and vibrant neon red, creating a stark division across the subject's face; the background appears as a dark, saturated blue, intensifying the colored lighting's effects on skin tones - warm and flushed on the red side, cool and ethereal on the blue side. The mood evokes intensity and mystery, with a serious expression and direct eye contact, fostering a powerful viewer connection. The style is highly cinematic and stylized, nodding to cyberpunk aesthetics, with a photorealistic portrayal of skin textures and facial details layered within a hyper-realistic framework. The setting is a controlled dark studio environment, focusing attention solely on the subject without distractions. The light highlights high cheekbones, a straight nose, and full lips, while the eyes reflect both the red and blue lights, shifting hues. The blending of colors creates purples at the center, adding depth and softness to the overall dramatic composition. The hair catches light interestingly, appearing luminescent in blue and warm in red, contributing to the overall contrast. This precise lighting creates a sculptural quality, emphasizing features, bone structure, and three-dimensionality, resulting in a captivating and surreal image."
