There's a photography mystery to be solved here.

While thrift store shopping in Richmond, Virginia, photographer Meagan Abell spotted some old film negatives in a box of vintage photographs. When she took them home, she was struck by their mysterious beauty.

Determined to find out the identities of the models in the photographs and the original photographer, Abell scanned the developed images and posted them on her personal and her professional Facebook pages.

Okay so here's the lowdown. I found 4 sets of medium format negatives while I was thrift shop hunting a few weeks ago.... Posted by Meagan 'Irene' Abell on Wednesday, July 29, 2015

According to Abell's Facebook post, she believes the nine images "are medium format, and judging by the style of dress, made in 1940-1950."

The moody, enigmatic photographs show two different women — one with platinum blonde hair and a red dress and the other with dirty blonde or possibly brown hair and a blue dress — standing on the beach and walking into the ocean. Since the sunset lighting is so stark, it is difficult to see the women's faces.

However, Abell is hopeful that the images will go viral and these ladies' identities will finally be known to the world. She asks that people use the hashtag #FindTheGirlsOnTheNegatives when sharing the images.

Everybody take a good, long look at your mom, grandmother or that lady you see at the supermarket because she might be a famous Internet star now.

Mashable has reached out to Abell for a comment on this story.

Update: July 30, 2015, 2:47 p.m. EST: Abell told Mashable she is working on a paper trail for the photos by trying to the thrift shop booth owner where she found the negatives, but she has yet to find an identity for either model. She does, however, have a few theories on the origin story of the photos.

"My favorite theory is that these two women were in love and wanted to create some beautiful portraits of each other. I also love the thought that these might be promotional images from a film made back in the 60's," she said.

Even if Abel can't uncover the mystery behind the photos, she is glad they have brought so many people together, saying, " I think it's amazing how so many people have fallen in love with these photos just as much as I have."
