Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing the face and glass dome in intimate detail. The framing is tight, emphasizing the confined space within the dome.
Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Framing. The subject's eyes are aligned with the upper third of the frame, creating visual interest. The glass dome acts as a natural frame, drawing attention to the face within.
Lighting: High-contrast lighting creates dramatic shadows and highlights. A strong light source from the left illuminates the subject's face, casting deep shadows on the right side. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the three-dimensional quality of the face and the glass surface.
Color Palette: Black, White, Gray. The monochromatic palette intensifies the mood and emphasizes textures and forms. Shades of gray provide depth and dimension to the skin tones and glass reflections.
Mood and Emotion: Melancholic, Tense. The subject's expression, combined with the confining glass dome, evokes a sense of isolation and introspection. The stark contrast and reflective surface create an unsettling atmosphere.
Style: Surrealism, Film Noir. The unusual juxtaposition of a human face within a glass dome lends a surrealistic quality to the image. The high-contrast lighting and moody atmosphere are reminiscent of film noir aesthetics.
Location and Setting: Studio setting with a dark, textured background, possibly a brick wall. The environment is minimalist, focusing attention solely on the subject and the glass dome.
Character Placement: The subject's face fills the majority of the frame, slightly off-center to the left. Their gaze is directed straight at the camera, creating an intense connection with the viewer. The glass dome encapsulates the entire head, extending just beyond the chin and hairline. Two hands are visible at the bottom of the frame, holding the dome in place.
Additional Details:
- The subject has long, dark hair that falls beyond the frame of the image.
- Reflections and distortions are visible on the surface of the glass dome, adding complexity to the image.
- The subject's facial features are sharp and well-defined, with particular emphasis on the eyes and lips.
- A slight fogging effect is noticeable on the inside of the glass, suggesting the subject's breath.
- The texture of the glass dome is smooth and unblemished, contrasting with the organic features of the face.
- The hands holding the dome are positioned symmetrically, with fingers spread to support the weight.
- A faint ring of condensation is visible where the dome meets the subject's neck, emphasizing the seal of the enclosure.
- The background, while out of focus, suggests a rough texture, possibly exposed brick or concrete.
- There's a subtle reflection of studio lighting visible in the curvature of the glass, adding depth to the image.
- The subject's expression is a mixture of vulnerability and defiance, with slightly parted lips and an unwavering gaze.

Prompt for Flux
"Extreme Close-Up of a human face encapsulated within a smooth, unblemished glass dome, tightly framed to emphasize the intimate details such as sharp facial features, expressive eyes, and slightly parted lips. The composition follows the Rule of Thirds, with the subject's eyes aligned with the upper third of the frame, creating heightened visual interest. High-contrast lighting from the left side casts deep shadows on the right, producing a dramatic chiaroscuro effect that enhances the three-dimensional quality of the face and the glass surface. The mood is melancholic and tense, evoking a sense of isolation and introspection. A monochromatic color palette of black, white, and gray intensifies the atmosphere, revealing depth in skin tones and glass reflections. The studio setting features a dark, textured backdrop, possibly exposed brick, rendering the environment minimalist to keep the focus on the dome and subject. The subject's face occupies most of the frame, positioned slightly off-center to the left, with an intense gaze directed at the viewer for a powerful connection. Two hands, symmetrically positioned at the bottom of the frame, hold the dome in place with fingers spread. A slight fogging effect is visible on the glass's interior, suggesting breath, while reflections and distortions on the dome's surface add complexity. A faint ring of condensation where the dome meets the neck accentuates the seal of enclosure. The background remains out of focus, hinting at a rough texture, and subtle reflections of studio lighting in the glass curvature enhance depth. The overall style merges Surrealism and Film Noir, resulting in an unsettling yet captivating visual narrative."
