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.
Abstract black and white photography reduced to one single form: a sweeping curve of pale material lit so that it dissolves completely into deep black at one edge and glows softly at the other. No subject, no scale reference, no horizon, nothing but the shape, the tonal fall and fine film grain. Quiet, minimal, entirely monochrome.
The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images
