Luminogram Technique

I’m always looking for new and interesting techniques for AI-generated images.

One of the best resources I’ve encountered for Midjourney is Andrei Kovalev’s Midjourney Style Guide. I appreciate reference sites that include images as examples of each style, technique, keyword, or parameter used in image prompts.

Andrei Kovalev’s Midjourney Techniques

I noticed a technique called “Luminogram” and decided to try it with one of my favorite Midjourney prompt tricks of using emojis as prompts.

First results:

Prompt: “🐚 luminogram”

I posted one of the images above and asked people to try it and reply with their results. We got fabulous images and tips to try!

Rob Lennon explained how he likes to use “chaos” in his Midjourney prompts:

Rob Lennon 🗯 | AI Whisperer @thatroblennon

@HBCoop_ Added `--c 09` (because I always love a little chaos) and here are some that came back. What a cool style.

The Midjourney Documentation defines the “chaos” parameter as this:

The --chaos or --c parameter influences how varied the initial image grids are. High --chaos values will produce more unusual and unexpected results and compositions. Lower --chaos values have more reliable, repeatable results.

--chaos accepts values 0–100.
The default --chaos value is 0.

I added the “chaos” parameter to a prompt with 2 emojis and the “Luminogram” technique. The results are more varied, with “chaos” added in the image below.

Prompt: “🐚 🌊 luminogram --c 10”

More amazing luminogram images in the thread and the comments:

Another Community Favorite is the “infrared photography” style:
