Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing the head and upper shoulders in intimate detail. The framing is tight, emphasizing the facial features and the blindfold. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Asymmetry. The subject's face is positioned slightly off-center, with the mouth aligned along the lower third horizontal line. The white blindfold creates a strong horizontal line across the upper third of the image, guiding the viewer's eye. Lighting: Low-key lighting with a soft, diffused key light coming from the front-left. This creates subtle shadows on the right side of the face, enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the features. The background is dark, almost black, isolating the subject and adding to the mysterious atmosphere. Color Palette: The image is predominantly monochromatic, with shades of black, white, and gray. The only vibrant color is the striking red of the lips, which stands out dramatically against the dark skin and white blindfold. This limited color palette heightens the contrast and focuses attention on the key elements of the composition. Mood and Emotion: Tense, Mysterious. The blindfolded figure evokes a sense of vulnerability and secrecy. The red lips suggest sensuality, creating a complex emotional landscape that is both alluring and unsettling. Style: Surrealism, Film Noir. The image blends elements of surrealism in its dreamlike quality and unexpected juxtaposition of elements with the high-contrast, dramatic lighting typical of film noir. Location and Setting: Studio setting with a plain, dark background. The lack of environmental context focuses all attention on the subject and enhances the sense of isolation and mystery. Character Placement: The subject's head is tilted slightly upward, facing directly at the camera. The shoulders are bare, suggesting nudity or minimal clothing. The white blindfold is wrapped tightly around the eyes and forehead, with some loose ends visible on the right side. The lips are full and painted a vibrant red, slightly parted to convey a sense of anticipation or sensuality. Texture and Detail: The skin appears smooth with a slight sheen, contrasting with the matte, slightly textured surface of the blindfold. Fine details are visible in the subject's hair, which frames the face in loose, dark strands. The lips have a glossy finish, emphasizing their prominence in the composition. The image is highly stylized, with sharp focus on the face and a gradual softening towards the edges. This technique draws the viewer's eye to the central elements of the composition - the blindfold and the red lips - while maintaining an air of mystery about the subject's identity and surroundings. The contrast between the dark skin, white blindfold, and red lips creates a powerful visual hierarchy, guiding the viewer's gaze and emphasizing the themes of concealment and revelation. The overall effect is one of intrigue and tension, inviting the viewer to question the narrative behind this enigmatic portrait.

Prompt for Flux
"Create an extreme close-up portrait that captures the essence of mystery and tension. Position the camera directly in front of the subject to focus on the head and upper shoulders with intimate detail, using the rule of thirds for composition. Place the subject’s face slightly off-center, aligning the mouth along the lower third horizontal line, while the white blindfold creates a strong horizontal guide across the upper third of the frame. Employ low-key lighting with a soft, diffused key light from the front-left, generating subtle shadows on the right side of the face, enhancing its three-dimensionality. Set the background to a deep black, isolating the subject to amplify the mysterious atmosphere. Use a monochromatic color palette of blacks, whites, and grays, with the lips painted a striking red, which stands out dramatically against the dark skin and white blindfold, heightening contrast and focusing the gaze on key elements. Evoke moods of tension and allure through the blindfold, suggestive of vulnerability and secrecy, while the red lips introduce sensual complexity. Blend surrealism with film noir elements, showcasing dramatic lighting and dreamlike quality. The location is a studio with an uncluttered dark background, focusing all attention on the subject. Tilt the subject’s head slightly upward toward the camera, featuring bare shoulders to invoke a sense of nudity or minimalism. The white blindfold is snug, with loose ends on the right side. The full, vibrant red lips are slightly parted, suggesting anticipation. Highlight the texture, showcasing smooth skin with a sheen, contrasting the matte blindfold, and include fine details in the dark hair framing the face. The image should be illustrated in a stylized manner with sharp focus on the facial features and a soft gradient towards the edges, maintaining an air of mystery about the subject and their identity. The gripping contrast between dark skin, white blindfold, and red lips creates a visual hierarchy that guides the viewer's attention, deepening the themes of concealment and revelation in this enigmatic portrait."
