Each pair is the same sentence on the same model. The left frame has no style; the right one is Sodium Streetlight. That gap is what the style adds.

The same fixed test subjects run through every style, so you see what Sodium Streetlight does rather than what the subject brings.
Sodium Streetlight is the light of an empty street at 2 a.m. The old sodium-vapor lamps glow a single, heavy orange, so everything under them turns amber and bronze while the shadows fall into deep teal. There is almost no other color. A thick layer of film grain sits over the frame, contrast stays gritty but quiet, and the whole scene feels still, lonely and a little cinematic, like a night shift that never ends.
You write the subject; the style supplies the lamps and the night. It suits people alone in public spaces: a woman reading by a window with the street glowing outside, a man in a coat on a quiet corner, a cat on a sill under the lamplight. Places are just as strong: empty car parks, bridges, a lighthouse on a road at night, a closed corner shop.
Use it for film and music covers, night photography series, urban stories, crime and mystery artwork and moody social posts. For cobalt dusk with a few warm windows, use Blue Hour Quiet; for black-and-white crime-film shadows, Noir Monochrome; for mist that dissolves everything, Fog Bound.
For this composition, we recommend 3:4, with 16:9 as another framing option. Sodium Streetlight also works on an uploaded image: in image-to-image mode it regrades your photo into orange streetlight and teal shadow with heavy grain, and keeps the composition, pose and clothing unchanged.
Subjects to paste as they are: “an adult man in a long coat waiting at an empty bus stop”, “an adult woman in a trench coat crossing a wet street”, “a row of parked cars under streetlights”. Quiet streets and one figure work best; the lamps do the rest.
Finishes that work on top: Soft Bloom for glowing halos around the lamps, Monochrome for a stark black-and-white version. Golden Hour is switched off here; the sun has long gone.
