Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera focuses tightly on the subject's face, with two smartphone screens held up to frame his eyes. The screens reflect the subject's eyes, creating a mesmerizing and somewhat disorienting effect.
Composition Techniques: Symmetry and Framing. The composition is centrally balanced, with the subject's face in the middle and the two smartphone screens perfectly aligned to frame his eyes. This creates a powerful visual symmetry that draws the viewer's attention directly to the reflected eyes.
Lighting: Soft, diffused lighting illuminates the scene, creating a neutral, almost studio-like atmosphere. The light seems to be coming from the front, evenly illuminating the subject's face and the smartphone screens. This lighting choice enhances the clarity of the reflection in the screens and softens the subject's features.
Color Palette: The color scheme is subdued and natural. The subject's skin tone provides warm brown hues, contrasting with the cooler tones of the smartphone screens. The background appears to be a neutral beige or off-white, further emphasizing the central focus of the image.
Mood and Emotion: The image evokes a sense of contemplation and introspection. There's an underlying tension between technology and human identity, creating a mood that's both curious and slightly unsettling.
Style: The image blends elements of surrealism with documentary-style portraiture. While the subject and setting appear realistic, the use of the reflected eyes in the smartphones introduces a surreal, thought-provoking element.
Location and Setting: The setting appears to be a studio or controlled environment, with a plain, neutral background. This minimalist backdrop ensures that all attention is focused on the subject and the unique visual concept.
Character Placement: The subject is positioned centrally in the frame, facing directly towards the camera. His hands are raised to eye level, holding two smartphones in front of his face. The phones are positioned to perfectly frame his eyes, with the screens reflecting his gaze back to the viewer. The subject's expression, visible beneath the phones, appears neutral or slightly contemplative.

Prompt for Flux
"Create an extreme close-up shot of a male subject's face, framed by two smartphones held up to his eyes. The reflection in the screens reveals his piercing gaze, generating a captivating and slightly disorienting effect. The composition is centered and symmetrical, drawing direct attention to his eyes, enhancing the emotional impact. Use soft, diffused lighting to illuminate the scene, mimicking a neutral studio atmosphere. The light source should be frontal, evenly highlighting the subject’s features and the smartphone screens for clarity in the reflections. Employ a subdued, natural color palette with warm brown skin tones against cooler smartphone tones, and a neutral beige or off-white background that emphasizes the subject. Capture a mood of deep contemplation, showcasing the interplay between technology and human identity, which evokes curiosity and a hint of unease. Blend surrealism with documentary-style portraiture to introduce thought-provoking elements while keeping the realism in the subject and setting. Position the subject centrally, holding the smartphones at eye level, and maintain a neutral to slightly contemplative expression that resonates with the viewer, ensuring the composition places all focus on his eyes and introspective presence."
