1. Photography with Midjourney Website: Hi, and welcome to another incredible class. Mi journey is getting more powerful every release. And now with the V six model, you can really create standing images that looks like photography. This class is to help you master M journey to create future photography. This class is about giving you the right information to start creating photography with Mure. It now it's possible to create images that are distinguishable from real photography. This knowledge will be more and more in demand in the future. First of all, let me introduce myself and then we'll see the structure and the content on this amazing class. I'm Ricardo roca, I'm a professional multimedia designer and teacher here on Skillshare. In the last two years, I've created more than 120,000 images with my journey, helping thousands of people to get the most out of these incredible tools. I've helped people learning how to create poster, how to use Majury to create standing AR images, that's the future and I've already created a master class on how to create photography with mejore. But Mjourny evolves and evolves the information you have to master to get the most out of it. That's future photography. In this class, I will show you how really you can get standing photography from Major. Now let's see how this class is structured and what you will learn in the next lessons. First of all, I will give you an introduction to Majority Physics and to the website. In fact, when the latest release is possible to create directly inside the website of Majority, so you no more need to go on this court. Create images and this class will show you how to get the most out of the website in Majurny. I will show you the best setting to get the most out of the power in rendering with maturny. I will show you how to build your photographic prompt to create standing photography with M journey, and I will show you some example so you can really get started very quickly into creating photography with Matury. Then we'll go to the core of this class that understanding how Majurny can render decomposition for your image. I will show you how to choose the correct frame and camera angle and light for your photography. You will get all the information you need to start creating photography like you were a photographer, but without the camera, just with M journey and your prompt. I've created so many images and photography with M journey. Really, I can tell you this is my blowing and it will be always more realistic, and more impressive, what you will be able to achieve with the future release of M journey. Lastly, I will show you how you really can achieve the next level in styling your images by using some crazy new function released with M journey like style reference, character reference, image prompt and mixing together the reference from other photographer to create your unique style. So without losing any more time, let's start this amazing journey together. See you in the next lesson. 2. Share your Project: Welcome to the Project class lesson for this amazing class. I'm tried to Avia, and I want really you to unleash your power with Mjurny. I've chosen four different subjects for your photography project, and I'd like to see what you can achieve with the information we share. So you have to choose one of these four team and create your first amazing photography with M journey. Fourth subject for the images are portrait photography, so you will be able to create a standing portrait of real people that really can be undistinguishable from reality. The second theme is automotive photography and really I will show you how to create amazing images of your preferred brand of cars because Major really knows how to render almost any type of car vehicles. The third team is landscape photography, and I will show you how to create breathtaking landscape, imaginary, for you to share for you to print art on your wall. Because really there are endless opportunities and endless possibilities if you get all the right information to express your creativity and your vision. I will show you many different landscapes and how you can really create your unique word Fourth team is pet photography, and I will show you some powerful prompt to create standing pet photography and imaginary, for your passion, for your friend, for your heart. You can use really in many different ways. When you learn the basic on how to create this kind of photography, you can apply to every different breed, every different species of animal. I promise you will have a lot of fun into creating the photography. Now it's your turn to create your first photography with M journey, just choose one of these four teams and express your vision. Remember, the key is to create a great prompt that is descriptive and specific because this will allow M journey to make your vision real and sharable. Once you created your images, please share with the community of a student, share your project in the project tab so that we can review them together, and of course, you can inspire a park the imagination of other students. I can't wait to see the images you will create and the stories you will tell. See you in the next lesson. 3. Midjoruney's website: Hi, welcome to another incredible lesson. In the last month M journey, exchange so much and release the opportunity to create images directly inside the website. This is an incredible new evolution in the way you use M Journey and made everything much more user friendly. In fact, now most of the operation and function you would do in this code, using code, you can do directly inside the website, just clicking the right button on the interface. Without losing any more time, let's go on my computer and see the new website interface of Majurny, because this will allow you to be faster and more effective into the generation of your images. We are on Majury website, and here we have the familiar home with the explored app where are all the best images generated by the community of Mjurny. Here you can of course, lo image, that's the new interface. You can scroll all the images. Here. These are interesting buttons because you can use the prompt of this image. You can use this style or you can use even this image because the new interface allow you to create directly inside Mj that's amazing because here, you can create directly your new images. These are all the settings. You can choose the image sides with different aspect ratio. You can choose the aesthetics with the stylization witness variety. You can choose the model and the standard or mode, the model of Mjurny. Personalization is something you can turn on and use when you have already rated at least 200 image, and it's an information that Mjurne took from that rating to create your own personal style. Rack image, you have to click on task. You can track images, and when you decide which one is the one you like most, these will influence when you turn on a personalization mode. As you can see, images are really wow. That's really amazing. Coming back here, you can create your images. This is all of the image I generated for this class. That's your archive with all your images. From here, what you can do, you can just create anything like image play with circus. Pixar style illustration. Of course, from here, you can set up the way you want the image to be generated. Let's enter and as you can see, it will automatically start generating your images and it will add to your archive. What syterecing is that you can drag and drop your image. You can use a reference as image prompt or a character style. These are all different functions. You can explore with new journey interface. As you can see, look how amazing is our dog playing the guitar. Circus, that's so beautiful. From here, you have both the function. You add in this cord, you can vary, subtle and strong, you can upscale, you can run. The frame is very interesting because allow you to recreate the image with different aspect ratio. You can even add a zoom. You can edit the prompt like from the remix mode. Let's say we want to create a wider cinematic version of this. We can submit and we create other images from that. You can use image because you stay, you can use prompt the paint is the vari region, so you can paint your image and change just whatever you want. You generating our variation for the aspect ratio modification. Here, we are instead inside this cord and that's the normal interface, here, you have to type image and your prompt the parameter, so it's a little bit more complicated. I suggest if you are a new user of M journey to do it directly inside the website because it's really so much easier and faster to generate a meeting a case. By the way, if you can't, let's copy the prompt. We are inside this code, what you have to do just to write the prompt to change the aspect ratio, you have to write at the end of the prompt, data, A R aspect ratio, and the option you want. In general, you can use 32 for zonal image or two, three for vertical image, or any other different aspect ratio. Here my journey, we generate your images. Look at this talk. How cus is this. I generate these images for one of my news letter of Ki share. I invite you to check it out because it's really interesting about permutations. Look how tender and cute are these guests. Let's see our dog in pizza style. The quality of the image is exactly the same is different way you can achieve your images. Look how amazing is this. These are very beautiful. Of course, you will find the new images here in the archive. There we are. In this lesson, I show you how to use the web interface of Mjurny to start creating your unique images. In the next lesson, I will show you the best setting so you can get the mo out of Mjurny to create standing photography. Of, I will show you some examples on how to create standing images directly in the website. See you in the next lesson. O. 4. Stylization & Raw Mode: In this lesson, I will show you how to set up correctly inside the website of Mjurny, the generation of your images. This is very intuitive and it's much more easier than typing the function inside the discord. I suggest you to do it directly on the website of Mjorne. Without losing any more time, let's go to my computer and see how you can really achieve amazing images setting correctly the generation inside the website. We are again inside Majurny website, and we will see today something very important to find your image and get the results you desire. We see the difference between a very important parameter that is stylize and how this impact the result of your request. Then we see the difference between the mode row and the mode standard in the generation of your images to, but because it's very important for achieving the most realistic and photo realistic output. Let's go into our archives, and let's have a look at this image. In this case, what I wanted to create is a ported photography of a young man sitting on a park bench, reading a book, No run light, soft focus. As you can see this image looks like coming straightly from candid photography. Here, for this image, we utilize the parameter stylize zero. By default, the parameter is stylize 100, but we force M journey to go the lowest possible number for this parameter. As you can see, the four images are all different. There are like a normal people average people reading a book on the bench in a park. But let's have a look what happens when you rise up the stylize parameter. We have the same prompt, just different stylize value, and 1,000 is the maximum you can put as a parameter. In this case, what we can see is that All the four images have these good, gorgeous looking man reading a book. This is because M journey, in this case, apply aesthetic way more strongly than with stylit zero. Fact slize is the value that represent how much the aesthetic on which has been trained, me journey is applied to your image. The lowest value, the less will be the input that will me journey will put inside your images. In this case, this is with style 100, so the regular value. As you can see, all the four images are candid. And if you want to achieve normal people, not model or super gorgeous character, what you have to do is to lower the style. In fact, as you can see slezation influence how strongly the major static is applied. Low stilzation values produce images that are closely match the prompt, less artistic. High stazation create images that are very artistic, but less connected to the prompt. This parameter will change how works majory. Let's do another test. In this case, we can create a prompt for a girl walking in the street of Barcella. Let's see how the style change the result. Let's run the first one with style zero. Then let's run another one with Style 1,000 and let's see the difference. Great. They are arriving. These are the one with style zero, and they look street photography images. There is not so much definition. Style zero is not something I recommend to use. These are instead the one than styles. As you can see, The model are gorgeous, very, very beautiful. There is a very strong influence of the aesthetics of M journey. What I suggest you to use is not stylized value zero, but something 200-500. This range, you can obtain and you can get the most out of me journey in terms of quality in terms of adherence to the prompter and not so high artistic stylized images. Look how gorgeous are these. These are really beautiful. Let's see our stylize 500 girl walking in the street of Barcelona. This is really gorgeous. Look how amazing is the light. As you can see, we have a mixed result somewhere in the middle 1000-0. I suggest you to use a value for szation between 100, that is the standard and 500. Unless you want to achieve a more perfect idealistic not so real output from M journey. Because it will be more creative and artistic. Let's do another test with value of 300. Here too, we have a mixed result between something more realistic and something more stylized by journey. By the way, I love this image, look at those eye and I love this black and white. Now let's see the row mode over the standard mold. The difference is that row mode replace the fault aesthetic of some M journey model version. Using it can help you create more photo realistic images, cinematic scene or utter characters. This is useful if you want to create something more realistic because me journey will generate an image that is rich in terms of aesthetics, reta feeling to the image. Let's try with the new prompt as sailorman under the Lighthouse at Sunset. Of course, we can say portrait photography of a sailorman under the lighthouse at Sunset, Let's roll the prompt. Let's create a vertical one. Both standard and row. Let's see the result. L et's see the difference between row and standard image. Raw will be less edited, somehow more realistic in the result. They're coming. We are. So let's have a look. This is very powerful and interesting. This is quite strange. This is sometimes me journey do crazy things that we can't understand. But these are they look like you know, you can see editorial style of image. More detailed. There are more definition in the details. Yes. My journey really is very great in creation of this portrait. Romo can enhance and give you a more realistic touch to your images. Depending on what you want to achieve, you can use the standard mode or the row mode. Look, how beautiful is this settleman, in its natural human being. Now let's see some other images created with style row and slides to see the difference in the result. In this case, we have reported photography, a young woman gazing thoughtfully out of the windows in a modern apartment. Natural light close up shot, contemporary and reflective style. These images are generated with stylize zero and style row, and you can see that they looks very, very real. I love this image. They are so emotional. These are instead created with style zero, but default mode, so no style row. I must tell you that the one created with style row looks more real. This one instead is a landscape photography, a large green valley covered in morning dew during spring, wide angle, short, vibrant colors, fresh and invigorating style. In this case, we create this image with style zero. Instead, this with style 1,000, and the one with Stylize 1,000 are richer, more creative, more artistic, more than the one created with style zero. As you can see. Generally, using a value of slits will change the output, making it more creative. These are all with Stylte 1,000. Let's see this pet photography, Curis kicked and exploring a flower garden on a sunny day, macrosot, brand color, cute and playful style. These are the one created with Stylte zero, and I like this cut. The one with stylte at 1,000, have a different approach to the color and Here, you can see how much impact the aesthetic of M journey in these images because they are all these very cute atmosphere, these colors, they are closer to the cat. Instead, thes are more natural. This looks more like real photography. Instead, this one are a little more sophisticated in the output. In general, stylize 1,000 gives you more editorial, more creative, more artistic. In the direction that has been trained me journey. So be careful about this because using nigher value of stylits will give M journey more freedom to change the output with the style. M journey has been trained on and this can change and affect the overall results. These are pet photography, dog and is faster. Let's see this one because this is very interesting. These are pet photography of two puppy playing in the field. These are with Stylize zero. As you can see, all the puppies are different. They are having fun and the image are overall really cute and charming. Instead, this with Slizs 1,000. In this case, you can see that the top breed is almost the same. They are more flattery, they are cute. This looks like more an editorial shooting of pet photography, maybe a little less realistic. I don't know, then this one, that looks more natural. Probably could achieve something similar with the row versus the standard mode of me journey. Choose a value that is 200-500. If you want to achieve the best and most realistic images with me journey. In this case, style 1,000 show less of adherence with the prompt. In fact, we wanted a motion blur for the velocity of the car, but the images with style 1,000 are more editorial shot. The car is not moving as fast as the one with style zero, and there is no speed no movement. Okay, great. In this lesson, I show you how to use the different setting and how to set up correctly to get the most out of M journey. In the next lesson, I will show you how to build the photography prompt to generate standing photography with M journey. 5. Midjourney's prompt formula: Hi, and welcome to another incredible lesson. Today, we'll start diving into the rabbit toll of creating photography with Mintury, and I will show you how to create standing photography, using a very basic structure for your prompt. So we'll see together how to create and craft prompt that can generate standing photographies with Minturn. So without losing any more time, let's go to my computer to see the presentation, and I promise it will blow your mind. We are on my computer and in this presentation, I will show you how to build photography prompt with Major V six. We are in future photography with Major V six, and now I will show you the basic prompt structure that is very simple but powerful to create the perfect photography image with mejory. The basic structure is type of photography plus subject plus action, plus setting plus photography information plus style. Type of photography, of course, is the type of image you want to create. In this case, it's a parted photography of a smiling girl in front of the sea at sunset. Soft natural light, shallow depo field, warm, inviting evocative atmosphere. Let's break down this prompt. Por the photography is the type of photography of a girl smiling is the subject and the action in front of the s at sunset, is the setting of this image with soft natural light. Shallow depot field is the photography information, and warm and inviting evocative atmosphere is the style. Everything together will help you achieve this amazing result. In this case, we have this beautiful girl that is smiling in front of us at Sunset. The light is soft natural. Let's move to the second one. In this case, we have automotive photography and Arlie Davidson motorbike park beside a rustic barn in a stormy night with misty and fog. Wide angle shot blooded light fills the background, cinematic lighting, da da tu. In this case, automotive photography is the type of photography, and Ale Davison motor bike is the subject, parked beside the rustic barn is the action and part of the setting in a stormy night with misty and fog is the setting for this image. Wide angle shot is the photographic information. Blue light field the bagron is something added to the setting. Cinematic lighting is the atmosphere. Now we have another image, a pet photography of a playful puppy running through a field of daisies on a sunny day, high shot speed to capture motion, bright and vibrant, joyful and energetic style. Da da 32. In this case, pet photography is the type of photography. A playful puppy is a subject. Running is the action through a field of daisies on a sunny day setting, High shot speed to capture the motion is the photography, information, and bright and vibrant, joyful, and energy. Style is the style of the image. That one is the last one, Landscape photography, as rain mountain like reflecting the surrounding pika sunrise. Crisp and clear with mist rolling over the valleys, wide angle shot in the style of as adams. Here we have the same structure, Landscape photography. Serine mountain lake reflecting the surrounding peak at Sunrise is the subject action settings with crisp and clear with miss rolling over the valleys. This is all setting. Wide and or shot is the photography information we gave information about the field of view of our image. We want a very large field of view to see a landscape. A here, we added in the style of Asda. At adams is a very famous American landscape photographer that create this amazing black and white landscape photography. Of course, M journey can mimic the style of any almost any famous photographer. You can add this as a reference to style your image, and we will see in the next lesson how this is possible, how these work. Just have a look at ogen. Let's have a look for Ansel Adams. As you can see. These are all the images from Ansel Adams, and look how beautiful are this landscape, and how close is our landscape to the style of this amazing photographer. Me Journey is very, very powerful and can create unique visuals. Unique photography, these are amazing. Let's look at some other images for our puppies. Look how tender and cute these. These are our lays. This is quite strange because there's this third wheel sometimes happen, but it's something easy to fix with a photoshop or in painting because sometimes M Journey does this kind of error. This is our lady smiling. Look how realistic and really natural and photography looks like this human being. These girls are amazing and looks so real. Okay, amazing. In this lesson, I'll show you how to craft your prompt to start creating amazing photography with M journey. Now we'll break down each part of the prompt stature, and I will show you in the next lesson, how to frame and compose it correctly your images inside M Journey. See you in the next lesson. 6. Frame & Composition: Hi, welcome to another incredible lesson. Framing and compositing is one of the most important thing if you want to shape your vision and share with the world. With M journey, you can set up everything just using the right words. In this lesson, we'll deep dive down in this field. Without losing any more time, let's go to my computer and start crafting your me. We are back inside M Journey website, and in this lesson, what we will see is the different way you can create your image framing and choosing the composition. This is very important because understanding the composition will help you create a visually compelling images that row the Vesi and tell a powerful story. We will see four different k compositional techniques like the rule of thirds, negative space, center composition, and leading lines. Let's begin with the rule of irs. This is one of the most fundamental principles of composition. Image your image divided into nine equal parts by two horizontal lines and two vertical lines. The idea is to place the most important elements of your scene along these lines or at their intersections. The roof third create balance and interest in your photos. It helps avoid placing your subject in the center, which can sometimes make the image feel static or less dynamic. In this case, we have a landscape photography, a certain lake with a mountain backdrop at Sunrise. The lake is positioned in the lower third and the mountains are along the upper third with the tree at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal line. What we can do, we can take this image and bring it into photoshop. Now we have the image inside for the shop, and here we can draw the lines to create the grid. The grid is made with the two third on the horizontal and vertical side. This is the center of our image. Let's create the other two lines. Here we are. So we have create the grid. As you can see, Journey is very skilled in creating composition that match the requirements. In this case, we can draw a box around the upper line to see that the mountains are in the area of the higher per third. They are perfectly where we wanted M journey to put them to draw the attention of people. Then we can see that the bottom part of our image where there is the reflection is in the third area, and we can see that the three, we wanted M journey two generate is in the area of the third. Every element is exactly in the place where we ask a mi journey to put it. That is very important and very powerful because we can drive the attention of the viewer towards the element, we want to give more importance. In this case, the tree in the foreground, and of course, the monta. As you can see, these create a more dynamic composition that will give emotion that will give a sense of dynamism inside your images, and it's very important to make them seems less boring or static. Then we have negative space. Negative space refers to the empty or open space around the subject. Negative space can give composition, a sense of simplicity and elegance, allowing the viewer to focus more on the main subject. Spaces to aight the subject and can evoke feelings of calmness and tranquility. In this case, of course, we have our subject, a person standing in a vast empty desert. The person is positioned in the lower third with the expansive negative space around them, emphasizing isolation and scale. In this case, our lonely person is standing in the lower third and all around, there is this vast emptiness. This is very important because it can help us understand correctly the distance. It's a way to emphasize the importance on the subject and at the same time give a kind of Sense of calm, tranquility, sense of isolation, and of course, can understand the sides of things. Then we have center composition. In this case, these draw attention to the center of the image. In somehow is opposite to the rule of third, But it is very powerful when used deliberately, placing the subject in the center can create stability, focus and shines when there is symmetry in the image. It can be particularly striking in a symmetrical or simple scene. In this case, we have an automotive photography, a classic car centered on a log street road. The car is positioned in the sack center of the frame with the road leading directly toward it. Emphasizing the car's presence and seamlessly. The star of our image, of course, is the car that is in the center of image, so every elements concur to give the car a way more strong presence. This is very beautiful. It's so balanced. As you can see, the car is in the middle of the root and it's perfectly balanced between all the lines and the elements capture our attention because we want to focus of course on the subject, where we are using center composition. As you can see, look at this how amazing these photos in black and white. We can put in photoshop, and let's create the grid. As you can see, the car is perfectly aligned to the middle of our image. Min Journey is very good in creating exactly what we ask for. We have to learn how to use this information to make our vision more powerful and create something that is really unique. Last technique is leading lines. These are lines in the mad the viewer's side towards the main subject. Lines can be anything from road to rivers to fence to shadows and can be useful to draw the viewer's attention into the scene and toward the focal point, creating a sense of deep movement. In this case, we have a landscape photography, a win river leading towards a distant mountain. The river starts in the foreground occurs through the image, guiding the viewers side toward the mountain in the background. As you can see, have this river that brings our attention to the background from the front to the background. If we follow the path of the river, we will go and look at the mountain that is in the background, that is the subject. We want to draw that attention to. Two. These are all very beautiful and you can see how M journey is really great into interpreting our prompt. We have this river that go to the background creating this line of view that points towards the mountain. Very well. In this lesson, I show you the different possibilities you have in the field of framing and compositing the subject inside your photography images with M journey. In the next lesson, we'll see another key aspect of creating your unique vision that is the light. So see you in the next lesson. 7. Illumination & Light: Hi, and welcome to a very important lesson. Today we'll see how M journey can understand the importance of light to create unique images and to craft your unique personal style. Light is very important and can really change dramatically the output of your work with mejore. Without losing any more time, let's go to my computer and see how the light can really change your images. We are back on my computer. We are on the Majurny website, and what we'll see in this lesson is the fascinating word of light, one of the most crucial elements in photography. Understanding how to use different types of light can enhance your images and set the right mood. Today, we spo different type of light, natural light, cinematic light, The concept of time of the day light versus soft light and the back light silhouette style. Let's start with natural light. Natural light is the light that comes from the sun and it's one of the most versatile and accessible type of lighting for photography. Natural light can change throughout the day, providing different qualities and mood. It's very helpful understanding this key concept because using this in your prompt will gives you beautiful, natural looking light for your image. It's perfect for portrait, landscape, and everyday scenes. In this case, we have a portrait of a person standing in a forest during the Golden hour. Golden hour, is the moment of the day just before the sunset that creates golden light warm and so in the prompt we brought the warm natural light filters through the free, creating a soft eeial globe. As you can see, all the image have this amazing ethereal atmosphere with light that's coming from the sun that is going down and create this magical gold atmosphere. Next, we are talking about cinematic light. This type of lighting mimics the dramatic and atmospheric lighting often seen in movies. It can include the mix of natural and artificial light sources to create moved and depth. Cinematic lighting is very interesting because add drama and motion to the images, making them feel like scenes from a film. In this case, we have an automatic photography, a vintage car parked in an old garage at night, illuminated by a single overt lamp, The dramatic shadows and highlights create a moody cinematic atmosphere. As you can see, the light create an atmosphere that makes our image looks like coming from a movie. This could be like a Triller movie or an oral movie or a vintage movie set in this old vintage garage. Of course, you can play with the light to create every type of atmosphere you want. Cinematic is very interesting because makes your images much more interesting adding this dramatic atmosphere. Next, we have time of day using a reference to the time of the day significantly affects the quality and color the light in your images. Different times of the day of the offer unique lighting condition that can enhance your photos created with major. Standing how light change throughout the day helps you plan your image and shape your vision to achieve the decided effect. In this case, we have a landscape photography, an beach ad with the first light of the day casting a soft pink issue over the water and sand. Of course, a down, the light is very Soft, it's pinkish, the opposite of what you can achieve at sunset, where is very warm and yellowish and can help you achieve this serene pacific quiet relaxing mood for your image. You can play with the time of the day to create different output. Let's strike the exact same prompt, but adding a reference to the sunset. As you can see, this will change the output of my journey and we create a different emotion. Let's have a look. We are, they are coming. Of course, we left the information about the pink issue. As you can see, we see a similar use of colors, probably perfect sunset. Shot we should have add different keywords to our prompt. But as you can see the image is way different because the light condition are very different. Let's move to the next concept that is art light versus soft light. These are two fundamental types of lighting that can create very different effects in your image. Hard light creates strong shadows and eye contrasts. It's great for dramatic and energy photos. As you can see in this case, we have reported photography, a person under a spotlight in a dark room, creating shadows and eye contrast, giving a bold and dramatic look. Of course, with hard light, we can create these low key images in which there are very strong difference between the part that are in light and the part that are in shadow. This, of course, create dramatic effect and feelings and emotion linked to the image. Look how harsh is in this case, this image with the back light. This is beautiful. With the light coming from out of the windows and light and the face of our model and leave the rest completely The opposite is soft light that produces gentle shadows and low quarters. In this case, we have the pet photography a cat lounging on the windshield illuminated by soft diffused light from an overcast sky, create calm and code the atmosphere. Of course, using soft light, will help you achieving this soft cozy atmosphere and the shadows are lighter. There is way less difference between the part that are in lights and the part that are in shadows. Look how different are the mood, you can achieve with these two different types of lighting. Of course, it depends from what you want to achieve with your images. Last, I want to explore the back light and silhouette. B lighting is when the light source is behind the subject, often creating a silhouette effect. That is when the subject is black, dark against a bright background. This technique a the sense of mystery and drama to image. I like the shapes and outlined and of course, can drive the attention of the viewer toward what you want to give more attention. In this case, we have landscape photography, a long tree on a hill at sunset with the sun directly behind it, creating a striking silhouette against the vibrant sky. Of course, here, there is a very sharp contrast between the sky and the tree that is black. We don't see the colors and the details of the tree, but just a dark silhouette of the tree. I really love this mood and image. Okay. So let's see some other test I did playing with different light condition. In this case. We changed the subject of the hard light, and we added a denser. So let's see how this create a sharp contrast between the light and the shadows. In this case, this is the sunset and it's a view of the beach with different colors. Let's see another silhuette. In this case, we changed the subject with the rows, and as you can see, the result is the same. We have this car that is our focal point and the light comes from behind the car creating these amazing silhouette. In this lesson, we saw how works light inside Min Journey, and now you're ready to discover another important field in the creation of images and photography images with M journey that is camera, angle, and shot because this is another important aspect that will change completely the output of your work with M Journey. See you in the next lesson. 8. Camera Angle & Shots: Hi, and welcome to another incredible lesson. Today, we'll see camera angles and shot because there are so many different possibilities, and this will help you crafting your unique style. So without losing any more time, let's go to my computer and see how you can change the angles and how you can use different types of shots to create your unique vision with M joy. Are back on my computer. We are back on the mitere website. In this lesson, what we'll see is how you can improve your images generated with mitere choosing the correct camera angle and shots. Understanding how to use different angles and shots type, concretely enhance the storytelling and the visual impact of your images. Today, we'll have in different concept related to the camera angles and shot like hate, rotation, focal length, field of view, various types of shots, including cools ported medium shot, full body long shot, wide angle, because any one of these is characteristic and change the output of your prompt. Let's start with this image. I really like this intimate image of this young toddler playing in the garden. The prompt ported photography, a child playing in a garden shot from a low angle to make the flowers and child appear larger and more enchanting. In this case, we told the majored to create a low angle, low eye shot with a camera that is basically at the level. At the ground floor to create an image that bring us inside the scene. In fact, we are at the same level of this little baby. We saw the flower, we saw the baby and everything is very interesting. Playing with the high will change the point of view of the view of your image, lowering the high, and putting it at the same level of your subject will create a sense of more presence in the scene. You will put your viewer inside the scene with the subjects. As you can see, all these four different images created from the same prompt, share the camera at the eight of the children. These create a more deeply connection with the subject. It's very important to choose the Creta to generate this link with the subject in your image. The next theme is rotation. Tilt your camera can add dynamic elements to your photos. A slight tilt can create a sense of movement and an ease, depending on the context. In this case, the prompt is automatic photography, sports speeding down a by road captured with a slight tilt to emphasize the speed of motion. As you can see the origin is not straight. The camera is stilted to add some more dynamic to the scene. The sense of speed, the sense of movement. Look low amazing is this image. It could be straightly out of Mercedess Bands advertising. It's very important to play with the rotation of the camera if you want to add some sense of movement to your image, damis this really enhance and make your image way more powerful. Then now we are looking at the image of this amazing landscape and for this image, what we want to announce is the focal lens. Fog lens refers to the distance between the length, the image sensor and the subject, and affects how much of the word you capture in your frame. Having a shorter focal lens provide a wider field of view, instead having a longer focal lens of a more zoomed in perspective. Of course, if you want to create image of landscape in this case, adding the information of wide angle lens will help you capture the fastness and to capture much more space inside your composition. The next theme is field of view. What is in focus inside your image and what is blur. This is very important to separate the object in foreground from the background to drive the attention of the viewer. In this case, we have a pet photography, a cat lounging on the window sill, capturing with a narrow field of view to focus closely on the cat's facial expression and details. A narrow field of view will help you have a much more different between what is in focus and what is not in focus. This help drive the attention to the details you want to drive the attention. In this case, look at this amazing cat that are resting on this window shield, and we can make the people look at the face and details of the cats because that part is in focus and the other is not in focus. Now, let's move to the types of shots. There are different types of shot, each one has characteristics and type of look. In this case, we have a ported photography, a close up of a personal size highlighting their emotion and expressions. Close Up is an image that capture a details a part of a subject, and it's used to give a lot of detail of objects, of people, so it can really convey a lot of information and emotion. We have portrait portrait, show the subject from shoulders up and focus on the expression of the face. In this case, we have portrait photography, a person smiling warmly shot from the shoulders up in a well lit studio. Portrait is used for people, but can use for animals too or any kind of subject, but mainly is of course for people. Usually, it's not a full figure body. Of the subject, but just from the shoulders to the head. This is another type of image. Pet photography, axity bidently capture from the waist up with a blue red background. In this case, we give the information to capture a portrait of this dog with the blue red background that helps driving the attention to the subject, in this case, our dog, since the dog is smaller, we can capture the full body of the dog, even we've had the information that we want from the waist. Look how amazing are this image and look really like real photography. Then we have an image that is an established shot, the capture all the scene. In this case, we have a subject, the lone cher standing at the base of the bat mountain and these establish the scale. So thanks to the small human being in the foreground, we can set the scale and the dimension of the mountains that are in the background. In this case, you can use some elements to set the correct sides and scale of other elements inside your image. This is an interesting image of wide angle. It's an architectural photography, a wide angle shot of a mod skyscraper capturing the entire building and its surroundings. This is very cool because it's shot taken from the basement with the camera all rolled to up to capture the high and all the building to create this sense of greatness and height. It's very interesting because this really looked like photographing a building from the basement, sky scriper from the basement. There are a lot of image like this you can find. Of course, using keywords like architecture photography, wide angle, captured entire building. This can help you achieve exactly the image you want. Let's see a fashion photography, a model posing in the stylish outfit shot as a full body image against a city scape. In this case, we want majority to capture a full body image. Even if we don't get exactly the full body shot. In fact, this is more a medium shot or portrait shot. We were able to tell me journey to create a fashion shooting style image with this model and a stylish outfit against a city scape. Look how beautiful are this image. Even this one, is a little bit strange, but those two are really amazing, looks like a real editorial shot on the top of a, a really low that So mastering different camera ngs will significantly enhance your ability to tell a compelling visual story. You can use hay to alter perspective, rotation to a dynamism, focal to change the field of view, and you can explore various type of shot to fit your narrative. Each technique of a unique way to enhance your images. In this lesson, I show you so many beautiful images, and of course, I show you how to get the most out of me journey using the correct words and the cor information for your prompt. Now you're ready to Start styling your images and create your unique vision. So the next lesson will be very, very important. I can't wait to show you all the information I gather for you. See you in the next lesson. 9. Create your Style: Hi, welcome to this key lesson for your career as a photographer with Megure. Here today we'll set how you can really create a unique style for your images. I will show you many incredible functions that Mure has released and how you can get it. The most out of them to create unique photography and unique artworks. So without losing any more time, let's go to my computer and start styling your images. We are back on my computer again in the website of M journey, and here is the moment where you start exploring how to define the mood and the atmosphere of your image. Using some interesting function. Inside M journey, that style reference, character reference, adding a reference to specific photographer or photography style. Four different steps to achieve your unique style. First of all, you have to define the mode to choose the correct atmosphere for your image because it can change significantly what you can achieve with M journey. Then of course, you can use the site reference, the character reference, and the reference to a photographer, if you want to copy the photography style of a famous photographer. Let's see everything together. The first step in creating a captivity image is to define the mood and the atmosphere. This sets the tone for your entire composition and guides all your creative decisions. The mood and the atmosphere of an image can evoke specific emotion, making the photos more impactful and memorable. Let's start with the landscape photography, a misty forest at De with soft difus light filed into the tree, creating a serene and mystical atmosphere. What we want to create is an image of serine calm atmosphere, mystical. Now, let's copy the prompt and use different information to change the mood of this image and the feelings link to the image. Let's change and add a very dark shadow and or atmosphere. Let's change and add some detail, like, a ghostly scary and mysterious atmosphere. Let's see what happens. These are the images generated for our first prompt. As you can see, we can create an atmosphere of calm mystical atmosphere, look at the light of this place and they can convey calm relaxness. Instead, these are the images generated with our different specification in the mood and in the atmosphere of the image. As you can see, the output is completely different because these images convey a sense of terror, a sense of desperation, a sense of a scary atmosphere. The prompt is the same. We change the details about the mood and the atmosphere. Of course, the output is completely different. Look how different are these two forest. It's very important to define what is the mood you want for your image because this will change the impact your images will have on your viewer. Now, let's try to use the style reference function that is a function that has been released in the journey a couple of months ago. It's very important because it allows you to specify a particular style for the image using reference, another image, and this help to ensure consistency and coherence in your work to achieve a constant style across different images. Let's use this prompt port photography, a woman in vintage stress shot in the style of 1940s film noir with eye contrast and dramatic lighting. Then we can drag and drop an image and see how these impact the result. In the image, we have three different buttons. The first one is for image prompt. The one with the human shape is for character reference, the attach is for style reference, and the image is for image prompt. We can use the three different way to create an image transferring style from A reference. We will see how much change if you choose these three different way to interact between a prompt and an image. Let's start with the image prompt. In this case, we will choose the button of the image. Then we can copy drag and choose in this case, the attachment to use the style reference of the image. We will see how this impact the result. Because you can use any image as a reference, and this will generate an output that is related to the first image, but there are different ways. Let's see just the prompt. In this case, what we achieve is really an amazing image of this lady dressed in a vintage way shot as a film wire of 1940s. These images are really starting. Look a beautiful. I love the first one. This one too is very interesting, the light, how M journey can replicate any kind of style. ER is with image prompt. We use the image as a reference for the generation of the new image. As you can see the journey blend somehow the background of the forest and our woman with a vintage dress, creating this surreal illusionated images fiel. Instead is style reference. In this case, what we journey do is to take the color, the style, the mood of the original image, the reference, and transfer to the prompt. As you can see here, we have our portrait of a woman in a vintage dress, but there are elements in the colors in the mood in the atmosphere that are taken from the original image. Let's do another test. Another image and use as a style reference. In this case, I choose the landscape photography of the beach Don, and we will see that the color of our image will be chosen, and the style will be chosen accordingly with the reference. Now, let's take an image as reference for character reference. Again, our prompt, let's choose the human figure at the bottom of the image put as reference, and let's roll the prompt this way. Let's see what happens. This case, what we can expect is to have a subject a character that has the physical information and characteristics of the image character reference. As you can see, lookout, the colors are affected by the image reference with the style reference function. As you can see, we have this pinkish soft look that is given by the style reference function. As in the previous example with the forest with the dark tones and or atmosphere. Yeah, we are has arrived our images in which we use the character reference. As you can see, the character the portrait created share with the reference a very similar look. This is very important if you want to create consistent character across different images. Because with this function, you can create character that are very similar to the reference. Of course, it's not perfect yet, but you can adjust it in both production and change, of course, how you achieve your result. Let's do another test with another character. We can take this red lady, for example, be careful to choose the human figure to achieve and to use the character style reference. This is very important. We will see how this will affect the output and how changing the image use as a reference, we change how Mj generate our image. Let's try doing something different. We can use the same character reference. Changing the subject. In this case, we can create an image of a woman drinking a cup in a t shop in Budapest, in the style. And here, we can add the style of a movie director like Wes Anderson. Let's see how this impact in the generation of the image. Are the images generated with character reference, the lady with the red A and ad. As you can see, in this case, two M journey, create four different images using that reference and creating a character that is somehow close to the character reference. Let's see the woman drinking a cup of tea in a Barn Buda base in the style of West Anderson movie. M journey sometimes have some problems with Ns. Let's do the same, but in this case, a reference for the character. Let's see if we can achieve the same character across different images, or we can get close to achieve that result. In this case, as you can see, the image are interesting. You have the West Anderson Luke and feel. There are some problems like this way, we have a problem with the eyes. The ends is a little bit strange. Sometimes me journey can have some strange behavior. You have to fix them with vari region or re rolling the prop. As you can see, the subject are close to our reverence, the same air, the same kind of lips and y. Of course, this is still not perfect, but as you can see, is very different, what you can achieve giving me journey a reference for the character or not. In this case, all the four women have the same kind of eyes, the same kind of hair. Are not perfect, but they are very close to the original reference. This works way better if you use as a reference an image generated with me journey, not a real photography. Just as an advice. Now, let's speak about our last team that is using a photographer or a photography style. As a reference. In this case, we can ask Mjione to create ported photography, a young woman posing gracefully in ornate vintage rooms of the f light inspired by the photography style of Any Ebobs with rich details and a warm intimate atmosphere. We are asking Mijeni to generate a photography in the style of Any Ebobs, that is a very famous fashion photographer. As we change the name of the photography, we want to create a reference. M Journey will generate a different style of image. I can try using Mario Testino, that is another famous fashion photographer. They are coming the results. These are the images in the style of Annie Lebowitz, and you can see, they're very beautiful. They looks like an editorial shooting. They feels at the same time very natural, like shot with available light Instead, these are the images generated with the reference to Mario Testino, that is all the same fashion photographer. But the images are way more post producted, way more editorials style. Look at this image heavily retouch. Instead, the one reference sing to bots look more like natural. This is another example images with the reference of David Lach pen, that is another famous special photography. In this case, we have the problem with majory generating this model with three harms, and this N two has some problem. Sometimes pen. In this case, what you can do, you can use the paint function. Highlights the part you want to regenerate with Mturny and just submit the new work. In this case, Mjurey, will generate four different proposals with the same image, just changing the area you selected, So in this way, we can fix when me journey create these art facts or problems. As you can see, we are having four different proposes, and we can choose the one that is more natural or works better for us. This is not bad. This is a little bit to strange. These other two are correct, probably. This one is the one that feels more natural. Of course, you can keep repainting your image till every detail is perfect. This can be very interesting because you can step by step, change and solve problems that have been created with majority. Strange behavior of ends ends with too many or too few fingers, problems of elements added to your images that should not be there and so on. There are many different ways you can style your image and mastering this technique will help you achieving your unique and perfect style. Amazing. In this lesson, I show you how you can use the different function, M joes recently released to create your unique style, and of course, to shape your vision and share with the word. Now, your path is almost finished. See you in the last lesson. 10. Well Done, You made it!: Well done, amazing. Now you are a future photographer.
