Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Medium Shot. The camera is positioned to capture the full figure of the subject, centered in the frame. The distance allows for the subject to dominate the composition while still showcasing the surrounding darkness. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Symmetry, Depth of Field. The figure is placed centrally, creating a symmetrical composition. The stark contrast between the illuminated figure and the dark background creates a strong depth of field, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject. Lighting: The scene is dramatically lit with a single, intense light source from below, creating a powerful chiaroscuro effect. This uplighting casts long shadows and accentuates the contours of the figure's form, particularly the face and clothing. The light appears to emanate from the floor, creating a pool of illumination that gradually fades into the surrounding darkness. Color Palette: Though the image is in black and white, it utilizes a full range of tones from pure white to deep black, with various shades of gray in between. The brightest areas are concentrated on the figure, particularly the face and parts of the clothing, while the background fades to complete blackness. Mood and Emotion: The scene evokes a sense of Melancholic, Tense, and Mysterious emotions. The isolation of the figure in the vast darkness creates a feeling of solitude and introspection. The dramatic lighting adds an element of suspense and unease. Style: The image embodies elements of Film Noir and Expressionism. The high-contrast lighting, mysterious atmosphere, and solitary figure are hallmarks of film noir. The exaggerated use of light and shadow to convey emotion is characteristic of expressionism. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be a vast, empty space with no discernible features beyond the illuminated area. This could be a stage, an empty warehouse, or a metaphysical space. The lack of environmental details focuses all attention on the figure and the interplay of light and shadow. Character Placement: A single figure stands at the center of the frame, facing directly towards the camera. Their posture is straight and composed, with arms at their sides. The figure wears what appears to be a dress or coat with a wide collar, and their hair is styled in a way that suggests a historical or stylized setting. The face is clearly visible but not detailed, adding to the mysterious atmosphere. The figure's stillness is striking, almost statue-like in its immobility. This stillness, combined with the dramatic lighting, creates a sense of suspended time, as if this moment has been frozen for eternity. The sharp delineation between the illuminated figure and the surrounding darkness emphasizes their isolation, making them appear as if they're emerging from or being consumed by the void. The lighting not only defines the figure but also creates interesting textures and shadows on their clothing. The folds and contours of the fabric are accentuated, adding depth and visual interest to the composition. The uplighting casts shadows upward on the face, creating an otherworldly or slightly unsettling effect. The contrast between the brightly lit figure and the pitch-black background is extreme, with no gradual transition. This creates a floating effect, as if the figure exists in a liminal space between reality and dreams. The lack of context or environment heightens this sense of unreality and focuses all attention on the subject's presence and form. Despite the stillness of the pose, there's a tension in the image, as if something is about to happen or has just occurred. This tension is created by the dramatic lighting, the figure's direct gaze towards the camera, and the stark isolation of the subject. It invites the viewer to question the narrative behind this moment: Who is this figure? Why are they here? What has led to this moment of solitary illumination? The image's high contrast and sharp focus suggest it was captured with high-quality equipment, emphasizing every detail of the lit areas while maintaining the impenetrable darkness of the background. This technical quality adds to the overall impact and cinematic feel of the scene.

Prompt for Flux
"Create a striking black and white image featuring a single figure at the center of the frame, captured in a Medium Shot. The camera should position itself to fully encompass the figure, dominated by an expansive black background that emphasizes their isolation. Employ the Rule of Thirds for composition, ensuring the figure is symmetrically placed, which draws attention and creates depth. Illuminate the scene dramatically with a single, intense light source emanating from below, casting long, haunting shadows that accentuate the character's contours, especially their face and clothing. The stark contrast between the bright figure and complete darkness should add a strong depth of field, pulling the viewer's focus directly to the subject. Utilize a full grayscale color palette, showcasing a broad range of tones from deep black to pure white, ensuring the face and significant areas of the attire are brightly lit, while the background sinks into utter obscurity. Infuse the scene with a mood of melancholy and mystery; the solitary figure evokes a feeling of tension and introspection, with an atmosphere laden with suspense. Style the image with influences from Film Noir and Expressionism, evident in the exaggerated lighting and shadow dynamics that convey complex emotions. The setting appears as an empty, undefined space—be it a stage or a metaphysical void—where the viewer's attention remains solely on the figure and the interplay of light. The character, adorned in a historical or stylized outfit with a wide collar, stands still, their face direct yet enigmatic. This statue-like stillness, paired with dramatic uplighting, creates a frozen moment in time where the figure seems to emerge from or be engulfed by an expansive emptiness. Their clothing displays interesting textures highlighted by the lighting, adding depth, while the harsh uplighting introspects the facial features, culminating in an unsettling or ethereal effect. The extreme contrast creates a floating illusion, positioning the figure in a liminal space that blurs the lines between reality and dreams. There is a palpable tension in this arresting stillness, evoking curiosity about the narrative—who is this character, what is their purpose in this suspended moment? Capture this dramatic essence with high-quality photographic detail, emphasizing the clarity of the illuminated areas while the background remains impenetrably dark."
