Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing the face from just below the chin to the top of the head. The proximity emphasizes every detail of the textural overlay and facial features. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Asymmetry. The subject's eyes align with the upper third of the frame, creating visual interest. The asymmetrical placement of the lines across the face adds dynamic tension to the composition. Lighting: High-contrast lighting illuminates the subject from the left side, creating deep shadows on the right. This chiaroscuro effect emphasizes the three-dimensionality of the face and the intricate network of lines overlaying it. Color Palette: Black, White, Gray. The monochromatic palette enhances the dramatic effect, with pure blacks in the deepest shadows, bright whites in the highlights, and a rich range of grays providing tonal depth. Mood and Emotion: Mysterious, Tense, Melancholic. The obscured face and interweaving lines create an enigmatic atmosphere, while the stark contrast evokes a sense of emotional intensity. Style: Surrealism, Film Noir. The realistic portrait is transformed into a surrealistic image through the overlay of abstract lines. The high-contrast black and white treatment is reminiscent of classic film noir aesthetics. Location and Setting: Studio setting with a neutral background, focusing entirely on the subject's face and the overlaid textures. Character Placement: The subject faces directly toward the camera, eyes slightly lowered, giving an introspective appearance. The head fills most of the frame, with the chin just out of view at the bottom edge. Textural Details: A complex network of thin, black lines overlays the entire image, resembling strands of hair or delicate threads. These lines vary in thickness and density, creating areas of greater and lesser opacity across the face. Facial Features: Despite the overlaid texture, key facial features remain discernible. The eyes are partially visible, with long lashes apparent. The nose creates a subtle highlight, and the lips are softly defined, appearing slightly parted. Skin Texture: Where visible through the overlaid lines, the skin appears smooth with subtle tonal variations, enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the face. Contrast: Extreme contrast between the darkest areas (such as the hair and shadowed side of the face) and the brightest highlights (cheekbone, bridge of the nose) creates a striking visual impact. Line Patterns: The overlaid lines form intricate patterns, sometimes following the contours of the face, other times creating abstract shapes that seem to float above the skin. This creates a sense of depth and movement within the still image. Edge Treatment: The edges of the frame, particularly at the top and sides, show a slight softening of focus, drawing attention to the central features of the face. Overall Effect: The image creates a powerful blend of realism and abstraction, inviting the viewer to peer through the veil of lines to discern the human features beneath, while simultaneously appreciating the artistic transformation of the portrait into a complex, textural artwork.

Prompt for Flux
"Create an extreme close-up of a human face, positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing from just below the chin to the top of the head, emphasizing every detail of facial features and textural overlay. Utilize composition techniques such as the Rule of Thirds with the subject's eyes aligned with the upper third of the frame and an asymmetrical placement of lines across the face for dynamic tension. Employ high-contrast lighting from the left, casting deep shadows on the right to create a chiaroscuro effect that enhances the three-dimensionality and intricate network of lines overlaying the face. Stick to a monochromatic color palette of black, white, and gray to heighten drama, featuring pure blacks in shadows and bright whites in highlights, with varying grays for tonal depth. Set the mood to be mysterious, tense, and melancholic, as the obscured face combined with interwoven lines presents an enigmatic atmosphere with a stark emotional contrast. The style should reflect surrealism infused with film noir aesthetics, transforming the realistic portrait through an overlay of abstract lines in a studio setting with a neutral background, keeping focus solely on the subject's face and textures. Position the character facing the camera with eyes slightly lowered, suggesting introspection, while filling most of the frame, leaving the chin just out of view. Incorporate a complex network of thin, black lines resembling hair or delicate threads, varying in thickness and density to create areas of different opacity across the face. Ensure key facial features are discernible; the eyes should be partially visible with long lashes, the nose highlighted subtly, and lips softly defined and slightly parted. Make the visible skin appear smooth with subtle tonal variations enhancing its three-dimensional quality. Aim for extreme contrast, especially between the darkest areas (hair and shadowed face) and brightest highlights (cheekbone, bridge of the nose) for striking visual impact. The overlay lines should form intricate patterns that flow along the contours of the face, creating a sense of depth and movement. Softening the edges of the frame, particularly at the top and sides, helps draw attention to the central facial features. Overall, the image should merge realism and abstraction, inviting viewers to peer through the lines to discern the human features while appreciating the artistic transformation into a complex, textural artwork."
