I’ve been dying to do a solid “epic mountain landscape” series for a while now, but wasn't getting the level of detail I needed from Midjourney. To get around this, I've developed a solid “rebuild the whole damn thing in Photoshop” workflow, enabling far better levels of realism and detail. Each of these images had a base composition developed in Midjourney, and then were painstakingly rebuilt piece-by-piece using Adobe Photoshop’s generative fill capabilities, taking about 20 or so hours per image to complete. It's hard to appreciate the glow-up this work produced without a little before-and-after, so I added some comparison crops at the end.
Close up photography of the rocky slopes of Cascade Mountains in autumn, strikingly large masses of rock and ice that rise high above the landscape dotted with amber meadows and trees and covered in glaciers. Hasselblad photography shot on Kodak Portra 100 28mm film with vibrant colors, shallow depth of field, and low contrast natural light. Use grey and black and cream and rust and gold and indigo colors. --no noise film-grain --ar 7:3 --quality 2 --style raw --stylize 500 --v 6.1
