Flashlight Photography

How an idea became a project in a flash ...

Flash photography is not necessarily the most beautiful way to depict people or objects, but it is the most honest. Ruthless, nostalgic, dirty and cold. The brief, blunt moment in the flow of time, captured by a harsh flash. Now available for Stable Diffusion.

This LoRA is the converted version of an idea to make images not "beautiful", but ... different. It is only used to make people or things visible in a dark environment.

The correct application for it is therefore clearly in the images of:

• night situations (streets, alleys, parks, ...)

• dark rooms (discos, clubs, cellars, apartments without electricity, ...)

• generally dark places (forest, caves, castles? ... )

A bright sunny beach rather not (although that might even be possible under some circumstances). :)

The LoRA was created with SD v1.5, but I recommend the use of other photorealistic 1.5 checkpoints. First of all Analog Madness v3.

The style brings partly a little analog colors and a certain blurriness with it. This is quite intentional. The majority of the images were trained with Polaroids and the like. Not every one of them was pin sharp.

It was trained without references to people, animals or objects. It should therefore be quite flexible. However, it may be that a little more prompting is needed for the one or the other checkpoint.

The model has a slight tendency to represent asian ethnicities. With some minor prompting this can be counteracted.

This project will continue to evolve and everyone can contribute. Anyone who has flash images and would like to provide them, please feel free to contact me.

And now ... get flashed!
