Fashion Photography with Midjourney: A Step-by-Step Guide

This extensive tutorial will help you understand how Midjourney works using the concept of fashion photography. I will introduce you to fashion photography a little bit more and the types and also have some ideas to give you that will ensure you get better photographs.

Basic Fashion Photography Formula

Among the first approaches that a photographer can use to enter fashion photography in Midjourney is to begin with a basic setup. This formula includes the following elements:

  • Fashion photography (keyword)
  • Subject (model, object, etc.)
  • Outfit description (garment, style, etc.)
  • Style (classic, modern, etc.)
  • Color palette (monochrome, vibrant, etc.)
  • Material type (denim, leather, etc.)
  • Physical property ( texture, pattern, etc.)
  • Year (era, decade, etc.)
  • Culture influence ( designer, brand, etc.)

Here’s an example prompt using this formula:

Fashion photo of a male model wearing a tailored 3-piece suit, classic 1920 style, monochrome palette, wool material, sharp tailoring, 2024, British influence by Tom Ford
Prompt: Fashion photo of a male model wearing a tailored 3-piece suit, classic 1920 style, monochrome palette, wool material, sharp tailoring, 2024, British influence by Tom Ford

Complex Fashion Photography Formula

To take your fashion photography to the next level, you can add more elements to the formula. This includes:

  • Brand ( designer, label, etc.)
  • Garment name (specific type of clothing, etc.)
  • Style (specific style, era, etc.)

Here’s an example prompt using this formula:

Prompt: Fashion photo of a female model wearing a chic oversized Blazer dress, Balenciaga, 90s grunge style

Custom Branding

To add a personal touch to your fashion photography, you can include custom branding. This involves adding your brand name to the prompt, along with the position where you want it to appear.

Here’s an example prompt using custom branding:

Fashion photo of a female model wearing a sleek body-hugging jumpsuit, modern minimalist style, with the brand name "Your Name" embroidered on the left chest area
Prompt: Fashion photo of a female model wearing a sleek body-hugging jumpsuit, modern minimalist style, with the brand name “Your Name” embroidered on the left chest area

Different Shot Types

To add variety to your fashion photography, you can experiment with different shot types. This includes:

  • Low-angle shot (emphasizing the model’s height and presence)
  • High-angle shot (providing a unique perspective on the outfit)
  • Close-up shot (focusing on the intricate details of the garment)
  • Wide shot (capturing the full outfit and surrounding environment)

Here are some example prompts using different shot types:

Fashion photo of a female model wearing a sleek body-hugging jumpsuit, low-angle shot emphasizing her tall and commanding presence

Creating Prompts with Co-pilot

For Midjourney prompts, one is able to use Co-pilot, which offers the responses based on the input formulated by the users. If you need a prompt simply give the details to your Co-pilot and Co-pilot will give you the prompt of the details provided.

Here’s an example of how to use Co-pilot to create a prompt:

  • Create a prompt for a fashion photo of a female model wearing a sleek body-hugging jumpsuit, modern minimalist style, with a low-angle shot emphasizing her tall and commanding presence

Co-pilot will suggest a phrase to use to build your own low poly cityscape with Midjourney with fashion photography.

Using the basic and complex formulas, the option of adding the company logo, and various types of shots the application is enriched.
