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.
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:
The Midjourney Documentation defines the “chaos” parameter as this:
The--chaosor--cparameter influences how varied the initial image grids are. High--chaosvalues will produce more unusual and unexpected results and compositions. Lower--chaosvalues have more reliable, repeatable results.
--chaosaccepts values 0–100.
The default--chaosvalue 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:

Thank you for reading, David! I'm glad you found it helpful.
I started writing online last year and it's still a new experience for me. I try to learn how to find creation tools and techniques for people with no experience , like I was. I have a lot more to show you!
Great post. As a newbie, it's really helpful to see the techniques explained!
