Since cameras first came on the scene, we've been all about snapping pics!
\n
Every year, we find ways to make cameras even handier and snappier—cue the Polaroid camera. This technology allowed a user to develop the photo themselves. The Polaroid camera was invented in 1948, but the heyday for the camera was the mid-1970s.
\n
Now that we're living in the AI era, how about we try our hand at creating cool custom pics inspired by Polaroids? We want to capture that classic grainy and low-exposure vibe using our prompts.
\n
So, in a nutshell, we've gone from clunky cameras to the instant magic of Polaroids, and now we're rocking AIs. With our fun prompts and a bit of practice, you can pull off that instant print look on any pic you fancy.
Prompts: Polaroid effect, black radial border, beige and white aesthetic, living room, interior design, timeless, white cast, modern, grainy filter, low exposure
\n
I love the subtle skew on this one; it gives off a human impression in contrast to the usually proportionate AI images.
\n
\n
\n
Prompts: Polaroid style, realistic 80's, people on the beach, children playing, sharp brightness, dark shadows, summer sun, color splash
\n
And this one, remember the summers when you were younger, and you’re mom couldn’t stop taking photos of you and your siblings, and she forgot to bring an extra pack of film? This is the one!
\n
So, whether you're a photo enthusiast or love capturing moments, use the Polaroid prompt to boost your creativity. With these types of laid-back prompts, turning any photo into a Polaroid-style gem is as easy as pie.
\n
It's like taking a nostalgic trip with a futuristic twist! Embrace the grainy charm and low-exposure coolness in your images, courtesy of our friendly prompts. So, grab your favorite images, dive into the world of Midjourney, and let's see those instant print vibes come to life!

--video
\n
A Midjourney tool that you may not be aware of is the --video command. This prompt is placed at the end of your prompt sequence and is used to create a 5-second video of your image grid being created.
\n
Here's our example:
\n
\n
\n
Prompt: Fashion model portrait, sunglasses, beach, ocean, shadow pop art, --video
\n
And because we added --video at the end, we created this:
Socrates once said, “Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.\"
\n
And with Midjourney, even though you may have created an amazing image, something better may be around the corner with a reroll,Vary (Strong), or Vary (Subtle) command.
\n
You never know.
\n
