[Scene] A packed underground Goth club or a warehouse rave. The background is pitch black but streaked with neon lasers, strobes, and the blurred silhouettes of a dancing crowd. It feels hot, sweaty, and loud.
[Lighting] A mix of chaos and precision. The ambient light comes from colored strobes (red, purple, acid green) dragging across the frame as light paintings. The key light is a hard, direct on-camera flash that fires right at the end of the exposure, freezing the subject in sharp relief against the blurry background.
[Color Grade] "The Bad Trip." High saturation on the light trails—neon reds and electric blues. The flash-lit subject has high contrast, slightly blown-out skin highlights (flash burn), and deep, crushed black shadows. It should look like a fever dream.
[Angle] Low angle, tilted violently (Dutch Angle). The photographer is in the mosh pit with them. The wide lens captures the chaos of the ceiling lights or the crowd looming over.
[Pose] Generative Wildcard – "The Stumble" The subject is caught mid-movement.
- If 1 Character: They are whipping their hair back, dancing aggressively, or stumbling towards the camera with a hand reaching out. The flash freezes their face, but their hair and limbs have ghostly motion blur trails dragging behind them.
- If Multiple Characters: They are clinging to each other for support, shouting lyrics, or spilling drinks. One might be sharp (hit by the flash) while the person next to them is a blur of motion.
