Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject's face, creating an intimate and intense composition. The frame is tightly cropped, focusing on the eyes and nose area. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Asymmetry, Foreground Interest. The subject's face is divided asymmetrically by the glass of water, creating a striking visual contrast. The glasses in the foreground add depth and interest, leading the viewer's eye through the image. Lighting: The scene is lit with high-contrast, directional lighting that appears to come from the left side. This creates deep shadows on the right side of the face and emphasizes the texture of the skin and the reflections in the glasses. The lighting is dramatic and moody, enhancing the surreal quality of the image. Color Palette: The color scheme is predominantly warm, with rich browns from the wooden surface contrasting with the subject's skin tones. The clear glass and water add cooler, transparent elements that interact with the warm palette. Mood and Emotion: The mood is contemplative and slightly unsettling. The magnified eye creates a sense of scrutiny and introspection, while the distortion adds an element of surrealism. Style: The image is hyper-realistic in its execution, with extreme attention to detail in capturing the refraction of light through water and glass. It also incorporates elements of surrealism in its composition and concept. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be a studio or controlled environment. The background is intentionally dark and nondescript, focusing all attention on the subject and the glasses. The wooden surface suggests a table or desk. Character Placement: The subject's face is positioned centrally in the frame, with their left eye visible through a glass of water, magnifying and distorting it. Their right eye is unobstructed, creating a stark contrast. The subject's gaze is directed straight at the camera, engaging the viewer directly. Two glasses of water are placed on the wooden surface in front of the face, with one perfectly aligned to create the magnification effect.

Prompt for Flux
"Create a hyper-realistic extreme close-up image focusing on an intimate and intense portrayal of a subject's face, specifically capturing the eyes and nose area. The camera should be positioned directly in front of the subject, with tight cropping utilizing the Rule of Thirds and Asymmetry for composition. A glass of water should clearly divide the subject's face asymmetrically, adding a striking visual contrast, while two glasses of water placed in the foreground lead the viewer's eye throughout the image. The lighting should be high-contrast and directional, coming from the left to create deep shadows on the right side, enhancing skin texture and reflections in the glasses, giving a dramatic and moody atmosphere. The color palette should predominantly feature warm tones, rich browns from the wooden surface contrasting with the subject's skin, while the transparent elements of the glass and water introduce cooler tones. The overall mood should feel contemplative yet slightly unsettling, inviting scrutiny and introspection through the magnified eye's distortion, layered with surrealism. The setting is a dark, controlled studio environment, focusing all attention on the subject and the glasses. The character should be centrally placed with their left eye visibly magnified through the glass of water, their right eye unobstructed, both directing a gaze straight at the camera, forming an engaging connection with the viewer. The image should be incredibly detailed in capturing light refraction through the water and glass, immersing the viewer in this surreal yet captivating moment."

Camera 1
The camera slowly pushes in, emphasizing the magnified eye and creating a sense of growing intimacy and intensity. The movement is smooth and deliberate, drawing the viewer deeper into the subject's gaze.
Camera 2
A subtle tilt shift focuses on the refracted eye, then smoothly transitions to the unaltered eye, highlighting the contrast between distorted and clear vision. This fluid movement underscores the theme of perception.
Camera 3
The camera gently orbits around the glasses, revealing different angles of refraction and reflection. This movement adds depth to the scene and emphasizes the interplay between the subject, the glasses, and the viewer's perspective.

Prompt 1
A striking close-up shot captures a face partially obscured by water-filled glasses on a wooden surface. The image plays with perception, magnifying one eye through the glass while the other remains unaltered. The stark lighting and muted background create a sense of intimacy and intrigue, inviting viewers to contemplate the nature of vision and reality.
