The Art of Image Generation with Midjourney

Writing Image Prompts

Image generation models like Midjourney and DALL-E interpret text differently than text-based models. They rely heavily on descriptive keywords.

The Anatomy of a Great Image Prompt

1. Subject: What is the main focus? (e.g., A cybernetic cat)
2. Action/Setting: What is happening and where? (e.g., sitting on a neon-lit rooftop)
3. Medium/Style: How should it look? (e.g., oil painting, 3D render, cinematic photograph)
4. Lighting & Details: (e.g., volumetric lighting, 8k resolution, highly detailed)

Useful Keywords to Try

Try mixing and matching these keywords at the end of your prompts:

• Unreal Engine 5, Octane Render, Ray Tracing (For realistic 3D)
• Studio lighting, golden hour, cinematic lighting (For photography)
• Cyberpunk, Steampunk, Synthwave (For specific aesthetics)
