Introduction to Stylizing in Midjourney

To stylize in Midjourney is to enter a universe full of opportunities for the expression of people. The platform offers tools that are unmatched, whether you’re trying to capture the fine details of a picture, the dynamic stances of sports models, the tailored aesthetics of fitted models, or the sheer elegance of brilliantly depicted people. You will be guided through the nuances of these styles by this guide, ensuring that you take full use of Midjourney’s contributions.

Portraits : Detailed and lifelike representations capturing the essence of individuals.

This is the most basic style created when creating a character in ‘Midjourney’, and appears without having to enter it directly at the prompt. However, if you do not write the prompt, a different style of picture may appear, so you will need to write ‘People’ to get a portrait image. Enter ‘profile’ to see a side photo of your face.

A random portrait of a woman in her 20s was printed like this.
This time, let’s write down the prompt in a more specific way.

If you enter the command specifically like this, you can get excellent results.

Full-body Shots : Emphasizing stance, posture, and attire.

One of the things people who are not used to using Midjourney say is that it is difficult to draw full body shots. But the way to solve it is surprisingly simple. Full body shot, inserting commands. Sometimes, if it doesn’t work even after using full body shot, you can easily get the desired result by using –ar 9:16 at the end of the prompt.

Real-life Photos : Creating images with the ambiance of genuine snapshots.

I will try to print it out like in the picture. The command is very simple. It is ‘Real picture’. If you include Real picture in the command, you can get photo-like output.

There are some things to keep in mind before using Midjourney’s output. There are many cases where hands and feet are depicted unnaturally, as shown in the photo above, so we recommend that you check carefully before use.

Mock-up Models : Tailored visuals for presentations and product designs.

When producing and marketing new clothing, it is often necessary to dress models and take pictures. It costs a lot each time, and it’s difficult to recruit popular models. For simple marketing, it is very useful to use Midjourney to create virtual models and synthesize clothing designs.
