Getting Started With Midjourney
You canaccess Midjourneyfrom Discord’s official website.
This plan will allow you to make use ofRelaxed mode, which will entitle you to unlimited content creation.
It still beats the free trial, which only allows 25 jobs.
Midjourney is the perfect tool to create these backgrounds.
you’ve got the option to useLuminar Neo to create your photo composites.
That’s because the technology for using text prompts to create images from scratch is still in its infancy.
Just play around and have fun with it, and you’ll soon discover Midjourney’s limitations and strengths.
For this tutorial, we’re using the below parameters.
Then simply opt for options to change them.
Let’s do just that for our first example.
We’ll use “dark background” as our first prompt to see what Midjourney comes up with.
To create images, you simply pop in/imagineand then put in your prompt.
Midjourney did an okay job creating a “dark background”.
But let’s be more specific and say that we want a “flat black texture background”.
Additionally, we’ll click onRerollto get two more sets of options.
We’re getting closer.
Any option could work as a background for a portrait if we crop it and then create a composite.
But we didn’t succeed in creating a black option.
This is where experimenting with word order and theStylize,Quality, andWeightparameters could prove useful.
We replaced “background” with “backdrop” and expanded on the description.
Any of these examples could easily be placed behind your subject as a wonderful background.
Note that the –v3 is added by Midjourney automatically since we changed our configs accordingly.
you’ve got the option to also create natural 3D spaces for your portraits.
Consider using such scenes to create fantasy backdrops for your portrait photography instead.
The above example of an exterior parking lot looks more like an illustration than a photo.
Just about anything outdoors will be almost impossible to make look believable.
But you could use this to your advantage for other types creative projects.
Let your imagination be your guide!
