Same soul. New engine.

My Story

I am a photographer. From the old school.

Not one of those who chase perfection through Lightroom sliders. I’m from the generation that remembers the weight of a metal camera, the sound of the shutter, and the smell of developer in the darkroom.

Some time ago, I dug through old film reels. I digitized them. Among them, I found frames that stopped me cold – people, streets, light that seems to no longer exist. There was also an old photograph of a ballerina. No name. No year. Just grace, frozen in time.

I took some of those photos. Not all. Only the ones that spoke.

And I added them to this model to give it soul.

What Does Analog Feel Do?

This model does not teach a style.

It teaches a feeling.

When you type analog_feel into your prompt, you don’t just get a black-and-white image. You get a memory. The grain of old film, the soft light falling slowly, the shadows that hide more than they reveal.

It doesn’t make "perfect" shots. It makes real ones. With character. With history. With human imperfection.

Because that’s what photography is to me – not technical precision, but a moment that can never be repeated.

SDXL – What’s New?

This version is built for SDXL, bringing the same analog soul to a new engine:

• ✅ Sharper detail – the grain is richer, the textures more defined

• ✅ Faster generation – optimized for SDXL workflows

• ✅ Greater flexibility – works with portraits, landscapes, street photography, and illustration

• ✅ Same trigger word – just write analog_feel and the magic happens

Who Is It For?

• For those who remember the smell of film

• For those who have never held a film camera but feel its magic

• For photographers seeking authenticity in AI-generated images

• For illustrators and designers who want texture, depth, and a timeless aesthetic

How To Use It

Simply write analog_feel at the beginning of your prompt:

text

analog_feel, portrait of a young woman, soft light, old film

And the model will do the rest.

Early Access – Why?

This model is the result of hundreds of hours of digging through archives, digitization, selection, and training. This is not just another LoRA – this is my vision of photography, built over years.

That’s why I chose Early Access. Not to lock the model away, but to give those who want to support this kind of work a meaningful way to do so.

Funds from Early Access will help me continue developing similar models – to dig through old archives, restore forgotten frames, and breathe life into memories that deserve to be seen again.

If you wish to support this project – I will be endlessly grateful. If you prefer to wait – I completely understand.

Thank You

Thank you to the unknown photographers whose film preserved the light of the past. Thank you to the ballerina, who still dances within this model. And thank you for choosing to see what I have created.

Analog Feel is my memory of photography, before everything became digital.

Enjoy.
