in this video, I want to talk about how to
create Ultra photo-realistic images using mid-journey. I will show you several techniques
to help you create these super realistic images in mid-Journey. Just take a look at these. look
at how absolutely realistic these are. if you didn't look really really close and you just
saw these on Instagram you'd probably think these were actual real photographs. And
don’t worry it’s not hard. it’s pretty basic and easy actually. so anyone can do this.
Let's go ahead and Dive Right Into it.
So the first formula is actually inspired by a
tweet from Nick here. He shared his technique for how to get these different kinds of realistic
images with different film types. So you put a shot type of the subject that you want with your
film type. And, you can see here that, he makes an example of a street-style photo of a woman,
experimenting with different film types. so let's go ahead and see what happens when we pull this
into mid-journey ourselves. Now before I get into it if you don't already have a mid-Journey account
pop on over to "mid-journey .com". come down here to join the beta. it does require a Discord
account. and you can actually generate up to 25 images for free inside of "mid-journey".
So now we will go ahead and copy it. And in discord, just type imagine prompt and paste it.
the first film type we will experiment with is "Fujifilm Pro 400H". So the whole prompt that we
got now is like - ‘street style photo of a woman, shot on Fujifilm pro 400H’. Let's see what we
will get. and here's what I got. I mean look at these. These look like some Instagram models
that we got right here. They are just insanely detailed like you probably wouldn't notice that
these were generated with mid-journey. let's go ahead and upscale number two and number three.
and look at these. these are just absolutely amazing. You can see after upscaling
the detail in these is just crazy.
Let’s experiment with another one here. let's
type imagine and paste the same thing but instead of Fujifilm Pro 400H, Let’s take the
film type as "Kodak Gold 200". and once again we got some really really detailed images. The
2nd & the 4th ones look like a bit of animated characters. But these 2 right here look amazing.
The intricate details and colors are so precise. yet it still feels like a work of art.
So Let's take this same prompt but let's tweak it a little bit, ok. Let's add a lighting style to
this prompt. So, ‘street style photo of a woman, shot on Kodak Gold 200’ with ‘studio lighting’
lighting style. This one is actually cartoonish. And this one is better but I can still tell that
it's generated by Ai. But these 2 look real. Also, I love that the AI has combined various elements
to create something truly unique and visually striking. Let’s try with ‘backlight
with hair light’. And look at that, wow! Look at the dimension and separation of
that girl’s hair. That's really cool!
Let’s end this formula 1 with “Silhouette Lighting
with Side Light”. Look at that 2nd one right here. Let's upscale that one. Look at that striking
contrast between light and shadow. It's amazing to see how AI can be used to create such striking and
visually stunning images. There are more lighting styles and different film types from Nick’s tweet,
that you can experiment with. So I'll make sure I link these threads below in the description.
Now the next one actually blows my mind when I found the outcome. can you believe that this
image was actually generated by AI? It's really incredible to see what AI is capable of these
days, and these images are the perfect example of that. Now, this is generated by this guy on
Reddit named ‘Archie 7’, who is kind enough to actually share the prompt that they use. We
will copy the same prompt that they used to see if we will get the same result or not. I mean
look at these! The fact that it can now create images that look like they were taken by a real
camera is just mind-boggling. Let’s upscale some of them. This is crazy! Look at those detailed
face structures. The shrinking of the cheekbones, the Sagging skin. Everything is in just detail!
Now, let's break it down a little bit. First, we put whatever is your subject or the scenario.
For this one, it’s an Indian village woman. Then we have clear facial features and cinematic. Those
are pretty self-explanatory. then, a 35-millimeter lens. That's like getting right up in someone's
grill and really capturing all the little details of their face. Next, we're gonna use an “F 1.8
aperture” to create a shallow depth of field. That means the old lady's face will be super sharp
and in focus. And to really make her features pop, we'll be using some accent lighting and global
illumination. So you can use this formula just by changing the subject to get a cinematic image
in minutes. We can just copy the same prompt, and just change it into ‘the portrait of a mine
worker from Africa’. just look at the detail and realism in this image! This one particularly looks
like a real human, which is pretty cool!
So currently I am having a giveaway Contest.
Let's see who is the winner from the last video. And the winner is - "Seth Rollins". So
congratulation Seth. Now you just have to email me from this account that You won the youtube
pdf bundle. And after verifying, I will send you the whole pdf bundle as soon as possible.
Now, if you want to be the next one to win this valuable PDF contents. Then all you have to do
is “like”, “subscribe”, and “comment” in this video. Now let's jump back to the video.
Now the third formula I got is from this youtube channel called ‘Maximize’. And, one of the tips
that he gave was to include the word "Polaroid" in your prompt. So for example, just start the
prompt with "event photography" and then add a "35 millimeter lens". the subject that I want to
put here is "two girls celebrating at a cocktail party", and then lastly we will use "Polaroid."
Well, the results are kind of impressive! Of course, if you look closely, you can still tell
that it's an AI-generated image, but overall, the effect is really impressive.
Now here is a website where you can find a lot of various types of photography to use for
our prompts. Also, I have another website where you can find certain lens for your prompts too. So
for example let's say based on formula 3, I could write something like. portrait photography,
50 mm lens, close-up, a guy of 30 years old, facing towards me, black & white, aspect ratio of
2:3. So you can see it is giving me those striking big eyes that we all love in portrait photography.
And, the 50mm lens is perfect for this type of photography. So just play around with the
different styles of photography and lens. Also, I'll link these websites below to help you
generate more prompts quickly and easily.
Now this last formula that I got is from the
channel called “Matt Wolfe”. And in his video, he found a tweet from his friend ‘Linus’, that is
generating stunningly realistic images that look like they've been taken by a National Geographic
photographer. Just use Linus's formula: animal, shot direction, pose, time of day, National
Geographic, and film type. For example, lions from below, side view, golden hour,
and National Geographic, shot on Agra Vista, with an aspect ratio of 16:9. And the result
is actually some really beautiful images. Now, Let's upscale one of them. Look! They look
like they belong on the cover of National Geographic. Alright, let's mix things up a bit!
We're going to take the same prompt we used earlier, but this time we're switching out the
animals. Let's change it from lions to zebras, below to above, And the time of day from golden
to the morning hour. Let's see what Mid-Journey comes up with this time! And look at that!
This looks great. It looks like the picture is taking from a drone. Also, I think there
are lot more stripes in some of them. But, I love how Mid-Journey can take a simple prompt
and turn it into a work of art.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this video on using
Mid-Journey for amazing photography results! I'll be sure to link all of these resources in my
