Recipe
The examples above were generated with Nano Banana Pro and Seedream 4.5. The recipes below are written for GPT Image and Flux, so treat the settings as a starting point rather than the exact run.
A description in plain sentences. This is the version to start with, and it works on any current image model. Settings below are the ones we used on GPT Image; treat them as a starting point.
The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.
A photograph of a person taken with a long exposure while the camera moved, smearing them into vertical bands of warm colour. Shapes just readable: one contour, the line of an edge, a bright window behind. Nothing sharp anywhere, highlights slightly blown, warm pink and amber dominating with a cool patch at one edge. Grainy 35mm film, no digital sharpening.
The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images

Tips
- 1Say nothing is sharp anywhere. A single crisp area ruins it.
- 2Keep one shape just readable so it stays a photograph rather than an abstract.
- 3Long exposure and camera movement, not a blur filter.
