Exploring 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:

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:

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:

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:




Lighting Options
Lighting can greatly impact the mood and atmosphere of your fashion photography. Here are some example prompts using different lighting options:




Material Options
The material of the garment can also add texture and interest to your fashion photography. Here are some example prompts using different material options:




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.

Conclusion
It is incredible and rather invigorating to note that fashion photography with Midjourney seems to have no constraints as to the concepts that are permissible to work on or as to how the concepts are to be executed. Using the basic and complex formulas, the option of adding the company logo, and various types of shots the application is enriched.
