A documentary street photograph. The laugh, the raised hand and the evening light read like a moment someone caught.
A documentary photograph of two old men playing chess at a folding table on the sidewalk outside a barbershop on a summer evening, one laughing with his hand raised, a striped barber pole behind them, warm window light, shot from across the street on a 50mm lens.

A low angle photograph taken from the wet road surface looking up at a bicycle courier in a yellow rain jacket riding straight toward the camera through a city street at dusk, front wheel throwing spray, car headlights blurred behind, shot on a 24mm lens.
Put the words in quotes and say where they go. Both lines came out spelled exactly as typed.
A risograph poster in teal and coral that reads "SLOW SUNDAY" in large rounded letters across the top above a simple illustration of a record player beside a coffee cup, with "COFFEE AND RECORDS" in small capitals along the bottom, visible paper grain, no other text.
A studio product photograph. One hard light, wet slate and steam give it the finish of a catalog shot.
A studio product photograph of a matte white ceramic pour over coffee dripper on a glass carafe, standing on wet black slate, a thin stream of water falling into the grounds and steam rising, one hard light from the upper right, dark charcoal backdrop.
An architectural photograph. One red coat in a white room gives the eye a place to land.
An architectural photograph looking straight down a white spiral staircase in an art museum, one visitor in a red coat halfway down, soft daylight from a round skylight above, clean curved shadows on the walls.
An overhead food photograph. The egg yolk, the broth and the steam all hold up at full size.
An overhead food photograph of a bowl of ramen on a dark wooden counter, a soft egg cut in half, slices of pork, scallions and a sheet of seaweed, chopsticks resting on the rim, steam catching window light from the left.
It paints as well as it photographs. Name the medium and you get the brush strokes that go with it.
A gouache illustration of a small red fishing boat passing a lighthouse on a rocky headland at dawn, visible brush strokes, a pink and pale blue sky, gulls overhead, long reflections on calm water.
What MiniMax H3 Image is made for
MiniMax H3 Image is the model to reach for when a picture has to pass as a photograph. We made the images on this page across eight kinds of work: an editorial portrait, a street photograph, a product shot, a poster, an action frame, an interior, a food photograph and an illustration.
It listens to camera language. Say where the camera sits, which lens it uses and where the light comes from, and the frame follows. It also sets short text cleanly when you put the words in quotes.
Four reasons to pick MiniMax H3 Image
Photos that look taken
Skin has pores and freckles, fabric has weave, and light falls the way it does through a real lens. Our beekeeper portrait at the top of the page is one prompt, no retouching.
Up to 16 megapixels
Choose 2K for about 4 megapixels or 4K for about 16. At 4K there is enough detail to crop in or print large.
Exact words on posters
Put each line in quotes and say where it sits. On our risograph poster SLOW SUNDAY fills the top and COFFEE AND RECORDS runs along the bottom, both spelled as typed.
Edit with up to 8 images
Attach a photo as picture 1 and describe the change. Add more images as picture 2, picture 3 and so on, and the model brings them into one scene.
Change the weather with one sentence
We gave MiniMax H3 Image the beekeeper portrait from the top of this page and asked for a yellow raincoat and rain.
One photo and one sentence. The pose, the orchard, the bees and the evening sun stay, and the coat and the rain arrive.
Put her in a yellow raincoat with the hood up and add light rain falling through the orchard
