1. Artistic Mastery and Influences:
- Creative Fusion: Integrate artistic styles or mirror the genius of legendary photographers to infuse your creations with unique flair and sophistication.
- Example: “A punk rock couple walking in the rain photographed by Mick Rock”
- Insider Tip: Aspect Ratios. Adjust with ‘–ar 16:9’ for a mesmerizing widescreen effect, elevating the visual narrative.
2. Camera Lenses:
- Eye of the Beholder: While not a parameter you are free to ask for the image to be created by a type of camera lens. For example, Fish Eye, or Macro. You can also specify specific brands, real life lenses.
- Example: “A photo of a baby being nursed by it’s mother. Sunlight room. Sony a7R IV camera”
- Insider Tip: Quality Parameter. Leverage ‘–q .5’ to accentuate quality and composition, enriching the scene’s visual depth. Default is 1, sometimes lower gives more interesting results.
3. Dynamic Light and Shadow Play:
- Illumination Mastery: Precisely dictate lighting nuances, including the time of day and shadow play, for a dramatically lifelike ambiance.
- Example: “An photo of a old library at twilight, bathed in the golden glow of vintage lamps, casting deep, intriguing shadows.”
- Insight: Stylize. Experiment with stylizing. “–s 100”. The more stylization gives Midjourney more freedom to interpret your prompt. Lower is more strict to your prompt
4. Iterative Prompt Evolution:
- Creative Evolution: Commence with a broad idea and progressively refine it, adapting to the AI’s interpretations for an evolutionary creative process.
- Example: Start with “a winter landscape,” evolve to “a snow-covered village at dusk,” and finally to “a quaint village during a magical snowfall, with twinkling lights and soft shadows.”
- Savvy Suggestion: Use ‘–chaos 30’ to inject a touch of unpredictability, sparking unparalleled creativity.
