GPT Image
Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.
The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.
A quiet interior photograph of a cafe: figures at tables lit only by a large window that blows out to near white, pendant lamps hanging into the top of the frame. Colour drained almost to grey with one muted green surviving, shadows heavy but never fully black, people arranged so they read as shapes rather than as portraits. Film grain, no faces in focus.
