Art Style Type
This SREF style blends elements of nostalgic photography and vintage cinema aesthetics, presenting a mid-20th century documentary photography style. It adopts the texture of film photography with distinct black and white processing, reminiscent of documentary or street photography from the 1950s-60s. The style resembles old photographs extracted from historical archives, carrying a strong sense of period atmosphere and nostalgia.
Style Characteristics
The main style characteristics of these images include: high-contrast black and white tones; prominent film grain; slight blur and fading effects; wear marks typical of old photographs (such as scratches and spots); and soft yet defined light and shadow contrasts. This style is impressive because it successfully creates a sense of time travel, making these images appear as if they were genuinely captured decades ago, rather than being modern AI-generated works.
