So, it's time for a new tutorial and this
time we're focusing on MidJourney and we have Oliver here, Oliver is back! Welcome back,
it's very nice to have you here because we need to dig into the MidJourney stuff. This has been
a… you know in the office we say it's like an illness that has taken over a lot of people and
this is like a… it's been super super exciting over the last couple of weeks to like dive really
deeper into the world of AI essentially creating with using simple prompts and and words you can
create these amazing amazing creative images. And maybe you should introduce yourself, what
is your profession? So I'm a food and product photographer, the traditional sense, if you
will.
So really taking pictures you know for clients in studios or on location. But I've
recently gotten really into using AI as a tool in a more creative way so helping me create
new mood boards for clients putting products into very kind of unique situations using very
very high quality cinematic lighting or kind of locations that you wouldn't normally find on the
internet and again it just has helped me over the past couple weeks.
I mean it's been a long, it's
been a strong learning curve for sure, but at the same time it's really kind of helped me understand
okay how to be more creative and at the end of the day also allowed me to you know come up with a
very kind of cool mood boards very very quickly so I'm not on Pinterest for hours searching for
images to say oh this is the mood I'm trying to go for I couldn't find that right image more on
Google Images um so it's been a very very helpful tool.
The kind of one limitation that I found was
let's say if I'm doing product photography I can't actually put a product of let's say of a champagne
bottle into this AI world so you can prompt it the MidJourney bot to say okay I would like to have
a champagne bottle in this particular setting but it's just going to be a kind of random champagne
bottle and so what I found is like a cool way to do it is to kind of create an AI world uh using
let's say a champagne bottle or the bottle we want to use and then in post-production take
a picture of a bottle and then post-production put that put that bottle in into the actual AI
image.
