As a food and product photographer, I'm always on the lookout for new and creative ideas to incorporate into my work. In the past, I relied heavily on platforms like Pinterest to help me generate ideas before diving into the process of editing and post-production. However, ever since I discovered Midjourney, my workflow has completely changed.
One of my recent projects involved creating a medieval-style trifle with dramatic lighting, a shallow depth of field, and candles. I wasn't quite sure where to start, so I turned to Midjourney for inspiration. I simply typed in my desired keywords and within seconds, I was presented with a range of stunning images that perfectly captured the aesthetic I was going for.
The top two images and bottom left image caught my eye and helped me to visualize the direction I wanted to take with my own photo shoot. I was particularly drawn to the use of lighting and the way the candles created a warm, inviting atmosphere. Armed with this inspiration, I set to work creating my own version of this medieval trifle.
While the bottom right image was ultimately my own creation, it was heavily influenced by the ideas and inspiration I gleaned from Midjourney. It's amazing how a simple search can lead to such a wealth of creative ideas and possibilities. And while I know AI isn't perfect, what matters most to me is that it's given me a powerful starting point for my work.
I'm grateful and excited for the role AI has played in changing my workflow and helping me to achieve my creative vision. I look forward to continuing to use tools like Midjourney to push the boundaries of what's possible in my work as a photographer.
