Lots of people love using AI pictures, especially when they can't find real photos. It's a big help when you need something specific. And guess what? Some websites will pay for these AI images because they're so popular!

Here's how it works: You can look at the pictures in this article and copy the words underneath them. Then, you paste those words into Midjourney to make your own pictures. You can change a few words to make the picture fit what you need.

You might wonder, "What's so special about AI pictures?" Well, they can look super real and unique, unlike regular stock images. Let's check out 20 ideas for making awesome AI pictures that really stand out!

So, the thing is, even though you can find pictures of big sports wins online, using them can cost a lot of money. Why? Because the photographers who take these pictures have special access to get close to the action, they own the rights to their photos. This means they can ask for a lot of money if you want to use their pictures, and they can take legal action if you use them without asking. But here's where you come in. Now, websites that offer stock photos want to pay you for giving them awesome pictures that tell a similar or even an "impossible" story.

10. Ice Cream Shop Unveiled

Arranging all the items from an ice cream shop neatly side by side. This technique showcases every tool, ingredient, and accessory in an organized fashion, giving viewers a detailed look at the inner workings of the ice cream shop, dslr --v 6.0

Taking pictures of ice cream before it melts and makes a mess is really tough. But guess what? You don't have to worry about that. The ice cream looks perfectly frozen, and everything is arranged super neatly. This way of setting things up is called "knolling." It's all about lining things up in straight lines or at right angles. The idea comes from Florence Knoll, a famous architect, and it's been used for everything from Legos to clothes, and now ice cream too.

11. Skateboarder's Solar Flight

Looking up from the ground, a skateboarder performs a spectacular trick jump that appears to leap over the sun, thanks to a clever camera angle. This optical illusion creates a stunning visual as skill and timing align perfectly, dslr --v 6.0

Skateboarders work really hard, practicing for hours, filming, and taking photos to capture the perfect moment of their tricks and big jumps. Big cheers to them for their dedication and effort—it's truly unmatched. But here's where Midjourney can add something special: It can help share the story of their hard work. By using AI images, we can make their stories about X-Games or local heroes even cooler. Plus, anyone buying these photos can feel good knowing no skateboarders were hurt making these awesome pictures.

We might not ever get to see such amazing milk foam designs on a cappuccino for real. But it's great that we have things like Midjourney, that make stuff we thought couldn't happen, happen.

You might have noticed I often mention "dslr" when talking about making images look real. Simply put, this means I want the picture to look like it was taken with a DSLR camera. What's a DSLR camera? It's a type of camera that takes really clear pictures and can focus by itself. It can also store thousands of pictures inside. Both professional photographers and beginners like using it a lot because it's so versatile.

14. Galactic Vista

Seeing Saturn from Jupiter's surface. This view imagines a breathtaking scene from one giant planet to another, showcasing the vast beauty of our solar system,dslr --v 6.0
craft-realistic-stock-images-prompts-14

Fact-checking is really helpful. Telescopes and satellites can get great views of Saturn, but I'm not sure any have snapped a picture from Jupiter's surface. It's important to think about what would make this image realistic. Questions like "Does Saturn have moons?" or "What color is Saturn, and where are its rings?" can help. Even small things like symmetry matter. Doing some research can boost your confidence in your work and make buyers trust you more for making realistic images.

15. Gentle Encounter

Underwater view of a scuba diver's gloved hand reaching out to gently touch the top of a small, translucent moon jellyfish floating by, seen from a side angle, highly detailed, dslr --v 6.0
craft-realistic-stock-images-prompts-15

Just so you're aware, in real life, this situation could lead to a pretty bad jellyfish sting, which might even be fatal. But thanks to Midjourney, no people or jellyfish were hurt when making this picture.

16. Underwater Harmony

A scuba diver hovering motionless in clear blue water, surrounded by a school of curious great white sharks swimming peacefully around him from an underwater side view, National Geographic photography. dslr --v 6.0

If you wanted to get a scuba diver to dive into these shark-filled waters for a photo, you'd probably have to pay them and a photographer a lot of money, maybe even millions. But with AI, it only took me a few clicks of the mouse to make this happen.

17. Black Sheep in Blossom

A lone black sheep with a scruffy wool coat grazing in a flowering meadow surrounded by a herd of white-fleeced sheep peacefully eating grass, digital art rendering --v 6.0

18. Riding with Giants

19. Inside the Ant Hill

craft-realistic-stock-images-prompts-19

If you've got a tiny camera that can sneak into an ant hill without messing up the dirt and convince ants to strike a pose, you're incredible. But I don't have those gadgets or abilities, so Midjourney has become my go-to buddy.

20. Close-up Camera Angle

craft-realistic-stock-images-prompts-20

I don't have a fancy camera with a zoom lens, and bugs definitely don't stay still for photos. But here's where AI comes in handy. It can make impossible close-up shots, like getting a really detailed picture of a butterfly, look real without any hassle.

21. Vibrant Splashes

 Color-gel, painting splashing, sharp focus, dslr --v 6.0

Here's the deal:

  • With Midjourney, you can make images of stuff that would be impossible to capture with a regular camera, like crazy situations or cool angles.

  • Make sure to check the facts and details in your images, like the scenery or people's body parts. Sometimes AI messes up and adds or removes things.

  • Using modifiers like "DSLR" or "35mm" can make your images look super professional.

  • Special modifiers like "knolling" can make your images look really unique and cool.

  • People love stock photos that stand out, so aim to make yours eye-catching.

  • Selling your own stock images can be a great way to make money passively. You can try sites like Wirestock, Etsy, Canva, Fiverr, or Creative Fabrica.

  • Just make sure to follow each site's rules and copyright laws to stay on the right side of things.

Conclusion: Profiting from AI Stock Images with Midjourney Art

So, there you have it! With Midjourney, you can create amazing images that regular cameras can't capture. Remember to double-check your facts and details, use professional modifiers like "DSLR," and try cool tricks like "knolling." People love unique stock photos, so make yours stand out!
