Steampunk Portrait

You know, when all you have is a kitchen to shoot in, it’s pretty cool that you can create custom backgrounds in Midjourney.  I got really tired of replacing my kitchen wall with textures I shot around town, or draping up sheets, or finding stuff online that already existed.  So, I’ve been experimenting with shooting portraits then creating a backdrop after-the-face.  This is opposite of what I’ve been doing when I composite faces and body parts into AI art that I’ve already generated.  For this, I concentrate on making a good portrait, then figuring out what I want in the background.  In this case, I wanted frames and a cool looking floor.
This was actually very tricky and took several attempts to match the colors of the subject with the background.  Not only that, but I had to contend with the tulle fabric and how to get that to be see-through.  This image here was tough to make, I tell ya.
