Hello, community! I’m Nathalie—a mom to adults, a coffee enthusiast, and an adventurous photographer. When my kids hit their twenties and my nest started to feel a bit empty, I decided it was the perfect time to explore new hobbies that went beyond attending parent-teacher meetings or orchestrating family dinners.
The AI-Enhanced Beginnings
My journey into photography started traditionally, but it took a high-tech turn when I discovered the wonders of AI-generated imagery. Imagine combining the creativity of photography with the boundless possibilities of artificial intelligence. That’s where I found my playground!
Crafting Worlds with Words
Using AI, I learned to craft images through detailed prompts, building scenes that were stitched together by algorithms yet inspired by my own imagination. From eerie, abandoned amusement parks to serene, forgotten docks, each image was a reflection of a world I envisioned—layered, complex, and richly textured.
From Real to Surreal
What fascinated me most was transforming everyday scenes into something out of a storybook. An abandoned carousel wasn't just a relic of the past but a portal to a forgotten fairy tale. A rusty Ferris wheel became a silent observer to the changing seasons, no longer spinning with laughter but with the quiet whispers of time.
Laughing at the Learning Curve
Navigating AI technology wasn't without its humorous hiccups—like the time I meant to create a vibrant carnival scene and ended up with a dystopian playground fit for a sci-fi novel. Or when I tried to articulate a sunset but got a neon disco instead. It turns out, precision in your prompts is key, and let’s just say, my first attempts were as precise as spaghetti thrown at a wall.
A Style All My Own
Through trial and error, my unique style began to crystallize. I found joy in the shadows of the abandoned, the glow of the forgotten. My photography—AI-assisted and all—became a way to explore not just places but possibilities, blending the real with the surreal.
Sharing the Vision
Now, I share these AI-crafted images to inspire others to see beyond what is to what could be. My blog isn’t just a showcase of photos; it’s a diary of discovery, a testament to the magic that happens when human creativity meets artificial intelligence.
So whether you’re a seasoned photographer or a curious creator, I invite you to dive into the digital deep end. Experiment with AI, play with prompts, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll find your own artistic voice in this exciting blend of technology and art.
These prompts are my own, ai generated with midjourney.
Here’s to capturing the impossible, one prompt at a time!
