Hyper-Real Low Key Close-Up
───────────────────────────

PROMPT
Extreme close-up of a subject emerging from darkness. a single lit edge against pure black, rendered at pore-and-fibre level. 100mm macro lens at f/8, focus stacked for edge-to-edge sharpness, large diffusion panel overhead with a black flag for shape. dramatic feeling, charcoal and amber tones, micro-texture and subtle imperfection visible, true-to-life specular highlights, hyper realistic, photorealistic, 8k, unretouched look.

NEGATIVE PROMPT
lifted shadows, bright background, even lighting, washed-out blacks, flat contrast, fill light, smooth plastic texture, airbrushed, illustration, painting, cgi look, soft focus, chromatic aberration, dust spots, watermark, text, oversharpened halos, unnatural saturation

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
Midjourney: --ar 1:1 --style raw --v 7 --s 100
Flux: guidance 4, 36 steps (best model for micro-texture)
SDXL: CFG 7, 45 steps + 0.35 denoise hi-res fix
Do not upscale beyond 2× — detail hallucination starts to show.

For this subject: Protect the blacks. Recovering shadow detail in post destroys the entire effect.

CAPTION
Zoom in. Every fibre, every highlight, every imperfection — on purpose.

Realism comes from imperfection: ask for dust, scratches, uneven texture.
