Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Medium Shot, capturing the entire seated figure from a straight-on perspective. The frame is composed to allow ample negative space above the smoke cloud. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, with the figure positioned slightly off-center. The smoke cloud creates a strong Foreground Interest, drawing the viewer's eye immediately. The clean lines of the chair introduce Leading Lines that guide attention upward. Lighting: Low-key lighting with a soft, diffused quality. The main light source appears to be from the left, casting subtle shadows and highlighting the smoke's texture. The background is evenly lit, creating a flat, muted backdrop that emphasizes the figure and smoke. Color Palette: Predominantly Grayscale with subtle tints. The smoke is a mix of White and Gray tones, while the figure's clothing and chair are Black. The background has a slight Beige tint, adding warmth to the otherwise cool palette. Mood and Emotion: The scene evokes a strong sense of Melancholy and Anxiousness. The billowing smoke engulfing the figure's head suggests internal turmoil, confusion, or a loss of identity. The hunched posture conveys a feeling of defeat or introspection. Style: The image blends Surrealism with Minimalism. The realistic rendering of the smoke and figure contrasts with the conceptual nature of the scene, creating a dreamlike quality. The sparse setting and limited color palette contribute to the minimalist aesthetic. Location and Setting: The scene is set in an abstract, undefined space. The background is featureless, focusing all attention on the figure and the smoke. The chair appears to be a modern, minimalist design with thin legs and a curved seat, possibly made of molded plastic or wood. Character Placement: The figure is seated centrally in the frame, slightly to the left of center. They are hunched forward, elbows resting on knees, hands raised near where the face would be if visible. The posture suggests deep thought or distress. The smoke completely obscures the head and upper torso, billowing upward and outward. The smoke is the most dynamic element, with swirling patterns and varying densities. It appears to emanate from where the figure's head should be, creating a seamless blend between the person and the smoke. This integration is crucial for the surreal effect. The chair's sleek design contrasts with the organic form of the smoke, emphasizing the juxtaposition between the structured external world and the chaotic internal state of the figure. The chair's legs are clearly visible, grounding the scene and providing a sense of stability amidst the ethereal smoke. Texture plays a significant role: the smooth surface of the chair, the soft folds of the figure's clothing, and the wispy, ever-changing form of the smoke create a rich tactile experience for the viewer. The interplay of light and shadow within the smoke adds depth and dimension to the scene. The absence of the figure's face and the smoke's obscuring effect create a sense of anonymity and universality, allowing viewers to project their own experiences onto the scene. This ambiguity is a key element in the image's emotional impact and interpretative potential.

Prompt for Flux
"Create a Medium Shot image featuring a solitary figure seated in a modern minimalist chair, viewed straight-on. The composition utilizes the Rule of Thirds, placing the figure slightly off-center to the left, with significant negative space above a swirling smoke cloud that serves as a strong Foreground Interest. Employ low-key lighting with soft, diffused illumination emanating from the left, casting gentle shadows and enhancing the intricate texture of the smoke. The background is evenly lit, flat, and muted, highlighted with a subtle Beige tint to warm the predominantly Grayscale palette, composed of White and Gray smoke, and a Black-clad figure against the neutral backdrop. The mood conveyed should evoke Melancholy and Anxiousness, with the figure hunched forward, elbows on knees, hands raised near where the face would be, entirely obscured by the dynamic, billowing smoke that suggests internal turmoil and confusion. Integrate Surrealism with Minimalism in the style, fusing the realistic rendering of the figure and smoke with a conceptual atmosphere. Set this in an abstract, featureless space to keep the focus on the interaction between the figure and the smoke. The sleek chair with thin legs contrasts the organic chaos of the smoke, grounding the ethereal scene while the smooth surface of the chair and the soft folds of the clothing provide textural richness. Highlight the interplay of light and shadow within the smoke to enhance depth and dimension, fostering a sense of anonymity that invites viewers to connect their personal experiences to this universally relatable emotional narrative."
