Discover the creative possibilities using powerful AI tools for generating stunning images from text prompts—now more versatile than ever. This introductory online workshop with photographer and teacher Cotton Miller guides you through the fundamentals of using Midjourney, while exploring its newest features such as inpainting (Vary Region), pan and zoom tools, custom style settings, and expanded aspect ratio options that have elevated it into one of the most powerful image-generation platforms available to artists, designers, and anyone in the creative community.
AI image generation can significantly enhance your creative process as photographers, functioning as both a “digital sketchbook” for ideation and a primary tool for crafting compelling visual works, ranging from the hyperreal to the fantastical, and from editorial-quality visuals to conceptual dreamscapes. Whether you’re rendering the ordinary or inventing the surreal, Midjourney’s evolving feature set empowers you to push creative boundaries with precision and imagination.
Over the course of four, 2-hour sessions, you learn how to write effective prompts, use advanced parameters such as prompt weighting and custom style codes, as well as work with inpainting to refine specific regions of an image. You explore how to pan and zoom within compositions to expand narrative scenes, and how to upscale your AI-generated artworks for print or professional presentation using third-party AI tools. Additionally, you learn to integrate Midjourney outputs with Photoshop to fine-tune, retouch, or composite your images as needed, unlocking workflows that blend automation with artistry.
Whether you are a photographic artist seeking new tools, a designer looking to prototype faster, or a curious creative person excited about the future of visual storytelling, this workshop gives you the foundation and confidence to work with Midjourney as part of your regular creative practice. Join Cotton and discover what’s possible when your imagination meets machine learning.
