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 near abstract cinematic frame: one intense point of light sitting on a flat empty horizon, throwing long straight rays outward across the entire image and catching haze in the air. No subject, almost no detail, just the geometry of the light, a faint ground plane and a smoothly graded sky. Limited to one warm hue burning into darkness, subtle grain, deeply atmospheric.
The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images

Tips
