Impressionistic/Ethereal/Dreamy photos captured in camera and edited (tone and colour only) to give them a look akin to what photos might look like in the Pictorialism era if expired Kodachrome film was around. Enjoy!

A softly abstracted nighttime transit hub or train station glows with diffused green, yellow, and blue light. Faint signage and figures suggest movement and structure, while reflections and blurs create a sense of time in motion or memory.

A twisting high-rise structure dominates this abstract image, its black horizontal lines repeating like piano keys down the frame. The intense motion blur and tilt give the impression of a vibrating, unstable form—simultaneously futuristic and disorienting, rendered in moody shades of teal, charcoal, and bone.

A tall building with repetitive windows appears veiled in shadow and time, its structure distorted by vertical motion. Muted tones of sepia and mossy green wash over the surface, giving the image an aged, cinematic quality—like an echo of architecture remembered in a dream.

A vibrant blend of yellow and green washes upward through the frame, softened by vertical motion that mimics brushstrokes. The scene feels like wildflowers or golden grass fading into misty green treetops, all under a hazy, pale sky. It radiates warmth, nature, and dreamlike serenity.

A delicate fusion of urban and natural elements, this image layers leafy green trees against a light-colored building facade with scattered windows. Vertical blur and a misty palette create a dreamy, almost watercolor effect, where architecture and nature quietly merge in a shared space.

This high-energy urban abstract captures a bustling city street through motion blur and distortion. Glassy buildings tilt inward, glowing signs smear into streaks, and blurred figures move across wet pavement. The cold blue-gray atmosphere is warmed by hints of neon yellow and orange, evoking speed, chaos, and urban rhythm.

This abstract image captures the illusion of upward motion or towering presence with ochre-colored vertical bands stretching down from the top left, possibly evoking a bridge or overpass. Blurred tree-like lines and a pale walkway add depth, creating a surreal, kinetic atmosphere.

This abstract composition features a gentle interplay of shadowy vertical stripes on the left—mostly green and gold—intersected by sweeping diagonal strokes of pale gray, with hints of blush and ochre.

An ethereal image evokes a tunnel formed by overhanging trees, with dense foliage in dark greens and scattered reds arching above a pale, glowing path. The motion blur gives a sense of forward movement, drawing the viewer toward a soft yellow-white light at the end—like a memory just out of reach

A pale green leaf and the translucent outline of an insect emerge gently from a soft, misty beige setting. The overall atmosphere feels delicate and almost whisper-like, as if everything is suspended in a fragile, dreamlike state.

Elongated figures drift ghostlike across a snowy urban path, their shapes melting into the blur of tall, bare trees and layered facades. The palette leans into muted blues and browns, evoking the quiet hush of winter. The repetition of vertical lines—trunks, legs, buildings—adds a soft rhythm to the stillness, like time folding in on itself.

Dark, towering buildings overlap in a haze of teal and grey, their windows and facades blurring into one another like stacked memories. The scene feels both monumental and submerged, with vertical lines echoing architectural strength while the distortion introduces a ghostly calm. The lower edge suggests street-level signage, barely legible beneath the wash of layered tones.

Tall, shadowy buildings—one with Gothic or cathedral-like features—rise into a washed-out sky, flanked by bare, skeletal trees. The motion blur gives the scene an eerie, dreamlike quality, as if the structures are wavering or dissolving into mist. The muted color palette leans into greens, greys, and fading yellows, evoking twilight or memory.

Golden light stretches across the top of the frame like an ornate ceiling or warm canopy, while cool shadows line the left, and a bright, almost glowing path extends forward. Blurred vertical lines hint at grand columns or structural elements, giving the scene a sense of architectural majesty suspended in motion.
