Ever wanted to make pictures that seem super real, like they're from real life? Well, guess what? u/KudzuEye on Reddit just shared this cool trick using Midjourney v6.
Let's check it out and see how it's done! Below is general structure of the prompt, so you can use it and tweak it by yourself.
phone photo of {subject and location} posted to {some social media} in {some time frame} --style raw --s 0 --ar {some vertical aspect ratio} --v 6
We tested out this prompt, and here are the coolest pictures we got.
When you first look at them, they seem super real. Even if you zoom in and notice some small things like hands not being perfect, it's tricky for our brains to believe these aren't actual photos.

So, there you have it! Trying out this trick was a lot of fun, and the pictures came out really well. Sure, if you zoom in, you might see a couple of small imperfections, like not-so-perfect hands, but all in all, it's pretty amazing how close these pictures are to looking real. Give it a try yourself and share your results in the comments!
