Spring Dream

• Model: FluX

• Size: 1152 X 864 (1.00 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Blurry, grainy vintage-style black-and-white photograph of a single cherry tree with bare, twisted branches, standing alone in an orchard in early spring. Several eerie, hand-crafted white papier-mache masks hang motionless from its branches on frayed strings. Each mask is expressionless, childlike, and slightly different—some cracked or weathered by time. In the softly blurred background, rows of other bare-branched trees stretch into a hazy distance. The light is diffused and overcast, creating a ghostly, melancholic atmosphere. The scene feels silent, frozen, as if abandoned long ago. Liminal, haunting, and deeply symbolic. Composition is balanced but unsettling. Inspired by the photographic style of Ralph Eugene Meatyard.

A Countryside Bus-Stop

• Model: FluX

• Size: 1152 X 858 (0.99 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: blurred, grainy, vintage sepia-tone monochrome film photograph: A solitary man at an old, rural bus stop in the Japanese countryside. He is captured in a front view. He wears a white theatrical blank mask. His striped suit is faded and dusty, the collar of his white shirt is casually unbuttoned. The bus stop is worn concrete with peeling paint and a cracked glass schedule panel. Behind him, empty farmland stretches to the horizon, with tiny distant farmhouses barely visible through a hazy sky. The road beside him is empty, vanishing into soft fog. The scene is still and surreal — a moment of theatrical presence in a quiet, forgotten world. The composition is moody, photographic, inspired by Ralph Eugene Meatyard — soft lighting, muted tones, eerie stillness, vintage lens atmosphere, visible grain, depth of field, surreal realism.

Three Is None

• Model: FluX

• Size: 1417 X 1536 (2.18 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Wide, blurry, grainy, lower-contrast, black-and-white vintage-style photograph: an overgrown orchard in the heat of summer. Two symmetrical rows of cherry trees stretch into the distance. Between them lies a small plot of earth, the grass slightly tall and untamed, swaying in a motionless breeze. In the center of this scene stand two 12-year-old twin girls. They face each other, a subtle knowing smile shared between them—quiet, eerie, as if they hold a secret only they understand. Their long, wavy hair is loosely styled, and they wear modest, old-fashioned clothing: checkered skirts, chiseled blouses, stockings, and small, polished shoes. Between them is a small, high-legged wooden table. Upon it sits a wide, shallow plate, holding a small skull that is engulfed in flames. The light is diffused and overcast, creating a ghostly, melancholic atmosphere thick with inscrutability. The composition is balanced, haunting, quiet, ritualistic, and deeply symbolic, with a sense of something unspoken but deeply understood. Inspired by the photographic style of Ralph Eugene Meatyard.

Timelessness

• Model: FluX

• Size: 1107 X 766 (0.85 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: blurry, grainy black-and-white vintage-style film photograph: A woman in her 60s sits on a simple wooden vintage chair in the center of a dimly lit room. She wears a modest, old-fashioned long dress, and her dark, now grayish hair is neatly styled in a classic bun at the back of her head. Her gaze is calm yet carries an underlying ominous intensity, as if she’s both observing and holding a secret. The room features wooden walls and an old cupboard behind her, entirely covered in thick cobwebs. Some cobwebs also seen in the upper corners of the room. Despite the cobwebs, the room feels ordinary—no other signs of decay. The scene has dynamic lighting that casts soft shadows, adding to the inscrutable atmosphere of quiet tension. The room feels frozen in time, balanced yet fragile. Dynamic lighting. The composition is balanced, with a low contrast, soft focus, visible grain and shallow depth of field. The mood is quiet, somber, and deeply uncanny—drawing inspiration from the eerie stillness of Ralph Eugene Meatyard’s photography.
