How to make a detailed vintage camera in MidJourney

Let’s take a look at how we can make a realistic vintage camera that’s incredibly detailed in MidJourney. As we have discussed many times on this blog, the best part about MidJourney is using it to create detail humans have a hard time creating. Let’s start off with our first prompt. Let’s use the words photo and hyper-realistic to see if we can get a good image to start.

Prompt: Vintage Camera, 1910, Photo, Hyper-Realistic

Not bad for a first try. Again, there are so many objects we could add. Let’s try it again and let’s add in the word complex to see how it affects the camera.

Prompt: Vintage Camera, 1910, Photo, Hyper-Realistic, complex

Let’s try two more words in different prompts. The words we should use are intricate and ornate. These will have an effect. Let’s see what it comes up with.

Intricate

Ornate

I like the intricate ones a lot better. However, there are some in the ornate that also look good. It will come down to personal preference. Next, we need to add product shot to the word list. This will position the subject in such a way that will make it shine. While we’re at it, let’s go ahead and add in 32k and –quality 5 to the prompt so we get a great render.

Prompt: Vintage Camera, 1910, Photo, Hyper-Realistic, intricate, product shot, 32k, –quality 5

While this looks good, I liked the black and gold we had a couple images ago. Let’s add that to the prompt. Let’s also add studio lighting as well.

Prompt: Vintage Camera, 1910, Black and Gold, Photo, Hyper-Realistic, intricate, studio lighting, product shot, 32k, –quality 5

I think version 1 looks the best so let’s make 4 variations.
I like version 3 so let’s make the final render.
This is really cool and detailed. There was more we could have done if we wanted to. We could have added a detailed background. However, I think the solo product shot looks great. Black and gold looks good, but you could also experiment with wood and gold, or wood and silver. There are so many possibilities.
