Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Close-Up. The camera is positioned at eye level, capturing the subject's profile from the left side. The frame is tightly composed, cutting off just above the shoulders and at the top of the head. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines. The subject's eye is placed near the upper-right intersection point of the rule of thirds grid. The strong line of the nose and the curve of the lips create leading lines that draw the viewer's attention across the face. Lighting: High-contrast chiaroscuro lighting. A strong, focused light source appears to be positioned to the left and slightly in front of the subject, creating dramatic highlights on the cheekbone, nose, and lips while casting deep shadows on the neck and under the cap. This lighting technique sculpts the face, emphasizing bone structure and creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. Color Palette: The image is predominantly monochromatic, using Black, White, and shades of Gray. A striking Red accent appears in what seems to be a scarf or collar, providing a bold contrast to the otherwise grayscale image. This red element adds visual interest and draws attention to the neck area, balancing the composition. Mood and Emotion: The scene evokes a sense of Strength and Defiance. The subject's upward gaze and strong profile, combined with the dramatic lighting and bold color contrast, create an atmosphere of determination and resilience. Style: The image employs a Cinematic style with elements of Film Noir. The high contrast, dramatic lighting, and tight framing give it a cinematic quality, while the use of chiaroscuro and the subject's mysterious profile nod to classic film noir aesthetics. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be a studio or controlled environment. The background is completely black, focusing all attention on the subject. This lack of contextual environment creates a timeless, iconic quality to the portrait. Character Placement: The subject is positioned in strict profile, facing left. Their chin is slightly raised, giving an impression of pride or defiance. The eyes are looking up and ahead, suggesting focus and determination. The subject's posture is straight and composed, with shoulders squared and neck elongated. Wardrobe and Accessories: The subject wears a black knit cap that covers their hair completely, coming down to just above the eyebrows. A black jacket or coat is visible at the bottom of the frame. The standout element is the vivid red accent, likely a scarf or collar, which provides a striking contrast against the black clothing and background. Facial Features: In profile, we can see a strong, straight nose, full lips slightly parted, and a defined jawline. The eye visible to the camera is open wide, with long lashes evident. The eyebrow is well-defined and slightly arched, adding to the expression of determination. Texture: The knit cap has a ribbed texture, visible in the light. The skin appears smooth and flawless, with the dramatic lighting accentuating its texture, particularly on the cheekbone and around the eye. Overall Impression: This image is a powerful portrait that combines classic photographic techniques with a modern, fashion-forward aesthetic. The use of high contrast, selective color, and tight framing creates a striking visual that commands attention and conveys a strong sense of individuality and resilience.

Prompt for Flux
Close-Up shot of a striking profile portrait, captured at eye level, focusing tightly just above the shoulders and at the top of the head. Employ the Rule of Thirds and Leading Lines techniques; position the subject's eye near the upper-right intersection of the grid, with the nose and lips forming dynamic lines leading across the face. Utilize high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting, directing a strong light source from the left and slightly in front to create dramatic highlights on the cheekbone, nose, and lips, while casting deep shadows under the neck and cap. The color palette should be predominantly monochromatic—Black, White, and shades of Gray—contrasted by a vivid Red accent in a scarf or collar that draws attention to the neck, creating visual interest. The mood should evoke Strength and Defiance; the subject's upward gaze paired with dramatic lighting and bold color contrast embodies determination and resilience. Style the image with a Cinematic approach infused with Film Noir elements; the high contrast and tight framing provide a cinematic quality, with chiaroscuro techniques emphasizing the face's mystery. Set the scene in a completely black background within a studio environment to enhance focus on the subject, giving the portrait a timeless quality. Position the subject in strict left profile, chin slightly raised, exuding pride or defiance, their eyes looking up ahead with resolve. The figure appears straight and composed, shoulders squared, neck elongated. Dress the subject in a black knit cap that covers the hair, visible just above the eyebrows, paired with a black jacket or coat. The standout red accent, likely a scarf or collar, offers a striking contrast against the overall dark attire. Highlight facial features with a strong, straight nose, slightly parted full lips, and a defined jawline, complemented by an open wide eye with long lashes and a well-defined, slightly arched eyebrow that enhances the determined expression. Emphasize textures with visible ribbing on the knit cap and smooth, flawless skin, accented by dramatic lighting that highlights the cheekbone and eye. Overall, the image should compel attention, merging classic photographic techniques with a modern, fashion-forward aesthetic to convey individuality and resilience powerfully.
