Generative AI image inspiration and the Midjourney 5.2 prompts that made them.
In an effort to study complex prompts particularly involving lighting and camera instructions, I’m collating the best examples I come across each week.
Midjourney 5.2
This week’s is a particular step forward as Midjourney released 5.2, with improved aesthetics and sharper images, and slightly improved coherence and text understanding.
