🧪 Training Origin

This LoRA was trained using a curated dataset of black and white portrait images, all originally created and hand-selected locally via Flux — a powerful diffusion workflow environment. The training set focused on artistic compositions emphasizing lighting dynamics, grayscale tonality, and expressive facial detail. By sourcing the dataset from locally generated images, the training process retained full creative control and alignment with the LoRA’s intended aesthetic, while respecting copyright boundaries and ethical sourcing.

The images used were carefully refined and filtered to ensure high contrast, emotional resonance, and quality framing, with particular attention to features like gaze direction, lighting mood, and texture realism. This selective approach helps deliver consistent output that feels intentional and visually compelling.
