Q & A
What is the central focus of the Mid Journey prompt structure for product photography?
-The central focus of the Mid Journey prompt structure for product photography is the 'product keyword', which sets the stage for all other elements in the prompt and clearly states the intention to create a product photo.
What are the three other keywords that can be used in conjunction with product photography?
-The three other keywords that can be used with product photography are 'commercial', 'still life', and 'macro photography'. These keywords help define the style and perspective of the AI-generated photo.
How does the 'style reference' parameter in Mid Journey work?
-The 'style reference' parameter in Mid Journey allows users to input a reference product photo to create the rest of the product line in the same style. This parameter shortens the prompt by transferring the overall aesthetic of the reference image to the generated products.
What is the significance of 'image weight' parameter in concept design?
-The 'image weight' parameter in concept design controls the level of resemblance to the original image. Lowering the image weight allows for more creative freedom and less strict adherence to the original model, which is useful for iterating and refining the design.
Podium design contributes to product photography by providing a physical setting that highlights the product's importance. It can range from a minimalist studio setup to more realistic or themed environments, thereby complementing the product and amplifying its features.

-Shot type specifies the angle and perspective of the shot, such as top-down, front angle, or high angle. This element helps focus the viewer's attention on the product in a desired manner, influencing the overall composition and impact of the product photo.
What is the purpose of decorating items in product photography?
-Decorating items are additional elements placed around the product to enhance its appeal or communicate its use. They should complement the main product without overshadowing it, making the product more eye-catching and relatable to the audience.
How can product effects like splashing or levitation enhance product photos?
-Product effects such as splashing or levitation can enhance product photos by adding a sense of action, energy, or a dreamlike atmosphere. These effects can make the product appear more dynamic, innovative, or lightweight, thereby creating a more engaging and visually appealing image.
How can models or hands be incorporated into product photography?
-Models or hands can be incorporated into product photography to introduce the product line in real-world settings, illustrating its everyday utility. This effect can be easily created using Mid Journey by including the relevant elements in the prompt structure, providing context and relatability to the product.
What is the process for creating personalized merchandise using Mid Journey?
-To create personalized merchandise using Mid Journey, one should first generate an initial image, such as an artwork or logo.
