I had a pretty interesting idea for a set of AI creations. I was working on some of my Great Wall of China photos, and I was thinking, gods this would be an interesting place to time-travel to and take photos! But then I thought, hey would if I could also go back to ancient Japan, Moscow in the 50s, Iran in the 70s (before Sharia law required women to cover their shameful and sinful bodies), India in the 1800s, all the way back to Cairo in 2000BC, etc. Anyway, that is the origin of this idea.
I did all sorts of locations and timelines. I also used different camera parameters, different lenses, different camera settings, all of which you can set in the AI. I’m really happy with the results!
Before I share these new AI creations, perhaps you’d like to see some of my recent AI thematic creations. Enjoy!
– 60 Stills from a Wes Anderson Sci-Fi Film That Doesn’t Exist – 32 Nonexistent People At Burning Man – 20 Entities I Encountered And Inspirations From DMT Reality – 27 Tribes From Remote Villages In Papua New Guinea That No One Has Ever Seen – 31 Burning Man art installations at Burning Man that do not exist
BTW, I started up a new AI Instagram @Trairatcliff account so I could keep my main Instagram more with traditional photography. Be one of the first to join! And tell your friends, but only the cool ones… not the energy vampire friends you are trying to get rid of. 🙂
Sample Prompt
I’m using Midjourney version 4 for these. It’s a command-line interface via Discord to communicate with the AI:
“street photography in the 1880s in London, 40mm, Extremely Detailed, professional photography –v 4 –ar 3:2”
Here are the 40 “Street Photos” below – I did add captions to each one so you can see the time period and the location. I don’t usually add captions because I am kinda lazy, so, enjoy! 🙂
There are also many little things to notice if you look closely. I’m especially impressed at the way the clothes fall and “wrinkle” around the bodies… amongst countless other details.
