From MidJourney to Vogue Cover in 3 Steps

Prompt: hyper-realistic close-up portrait of a woman and a blue Doberman, cinematic lighting, glowing neon blue and red eyes, deep shadows, electric blue tones, glossy reflective textures, futuristic night atmosphere, intense emotional connection, chrome-like highlights on leather jacket, ultra detailed skin and fur, moody sci-fi aesthetic, surreal and powerful composition

For this one I built the original image in MidJourney with a blue primary light and red as the secondary accent.

Then I brought it into Nano Banana and flipped the lighting balance — making red the dominant tone and blue the supporting one. That one adjustment completely changed the mood and intensity.

After that, I turned it into a Vogue-style magazine cover to show how easily AI visuals can translate into editorial layouts when the lighting and composition are strong.

This is the full workflow:

1. MidJourney → establish lighting relationship (blue primary / red secondary)

2. Nano Banana → shift lighting dominance + refine skin, fur and reflections

3. Layout mockup → Vogue cover formatting

Small changes in light hierarchy = big change in emotional tone and story style
