How to make incredibly photorealistic images with #Midjourney

It's easy.

Just follow these steps:

As an example, let's start with a simple prompt.

Prompt: A smiling woman with flowers

Now, let's fix the seed and make her more realistic.

You might be tempted to try adding "realistic" or "photorealistic" to the prompt.

Example: A realistic smiling woman with flowers

It doesn't work. Thanks @icreatelife for pointing this out!

The key is to add "a photo of" to the prompt.

Example: A photo of a smiling woman with flowers

Much better!

But there's a problem.

This photo is realistic, but the scene is not.

Women don't usually have flowers exploding from their hair.

The last step is to add a suitable camera + lens to the prompt.

The Nikon D850 camera with a 85mm lens is good for taking pictures of people.

They make the scene look like something from real life.

Prompt: A photo of a smiling woman with flowers, Nikon D850, 85mm lens

And that's how you make photorealistic images with Midjourney!
