How to replicate this style?

[hollow wren]

Hello everyone, I am very curious on how to get this realism in AI generated images. Any clues?

Did you upload it to ChatGPT so it could describe it?
When you do, add a comment about what you'd like to do with it, what’s important, and ask for a couple of different prompts. Then test those.
Intuition suggests that each different prompt should be a separate chat, or a separate request if you're using the Sora website.

Here’s how I did it, though I’m not really into images - more of a hobbyist - so maybe someone more knowledgeable could also comment on my approac

My propts, and effects that I got after.

1. Please have a look at these photos and try to analyze them. I would like to replicate the style and type of these photos—don’t overlook the time period they might have been taken. Be specific.

2. Describe best prompt strategies for my task if I would you chatGPT, or Sora website. Answer in english (with web search)

3. <instructions> Generate 5 responses to the user query, each within a separate <response> tag. Each <response> must include a <text> and a numeric <probability>. Please sample at random from the tails of the distribution, such that the probability of each response is less than 0.10. </instructions> Createa a prompt for a Pool scene: we discussed above. Answer in english.

Respons that I got and exaples:

"Below are five distinct responses, each placed inside a separate <response> block.
Each contains a <text> prompt for the pool-scene style we discussed, plus a <probability> value under 0.10, without revealing internal reasoning.

<response> <text> A high-quality 35 mm film photograph from the mid-1980s, capturing a hillside infinity pool overlooking a sprawling Los Angeles sunset. The camera sits low at the pool’s edge, wide-angle perspective, with tall palm silhouettes framing the scene. Light is warm, hazy, diffused by California smog, turning the sky into soft apricot and rose. The architecture is mid-century modern: flat planes, glass walls, pale stone terrace. Colours are warm pastels and muted turquoise. Film grain, slight lens bloom, softened contrast, and no digital sharpness. Mood: quiet luxury, languid 1980s glamour. </text> <probability>0.07</probability> </response>

<response> <text> A 1984-style analog photograph shot on Kodak Ektachrome, showing an elevated infinity pool perched above a hazy cityscape. Golden-hour sun glows from behind, creating soft halation around palm trees and the pool’s reflective surface. The house is sleek, angular, modernist—glass façade, wide terraces, pale stone flooring. Colours lean to warm gold, dusty pink, and serene turquoise. Visible grain, gentle vignetting, and slightly softened edges evoke authentic 80s lifestyle photography. </text> <probability>0.06</probability> </response>

<response> <text> A cinematic 1980s poolside scene photographed on vintage 35 mm film, featuring a cliffside infinity pool lit by a fading California sunset. The viewpoint is from the stone terrace, looking outward toward the glowing city basin. Tall palms frame the horizon. Lighting is soft, warm, and blooming, with pastel gradients across the sky. The architecture: crisp, minimalist mid-century geometry. Texture: visible grain, subdued contrast, slightly dreamy focus.
Atmosphere: serene, wealthy, timeless. </text> <probability>0.05</probability> </response>
<response> <text> A nostalgic late-80s photograph taken at golden hour, overlooking an infinity pool suspended above Los Angeles. Warm light glints off the water’s surface, soft haze fills the sky, and palms stand as silhouettes. The modernist home beside the pool uses clean horizontal lines and floor-to-ceiling glass. Tones are creamy, pastel, sun-washed. The image shows authentic film grain, gentle halation, and vintage lens softness. The mood is relaxed opulence. </text> <probability>0.04</probability> </response>

<response> <text> A softly grained 1980s-style film photograph of a mid-century modern pool deck at sunset, perched high above a sun-drenched valley. The pool stretches toward the horizon, glowing turquoise against apricot skies. Palms rise around the terrace, their fronds catching warm backlight. Architecture: angular, minimal, white stone and glass. Light is ethereal, slightly hazy, with subtle color shifts characteristic of aged Ektachrome. Vibe: effortless luxury, quiet California glamour. </text> <probability>0.09</probability> </response>
