I need some help generating AI art prompts.

Prompt Length

Prompts can be very simple. Single words (or even an emoji!) will produce an image. Very short prompts will rely heavily on Midjourney’s default style, so a more descriptive prompt is better for a unique look. However, super-long prompts aren’t always better. Concentrate on the main concepts you want to create.

Grammar

The Midjourney Bot does not understand grammar, sentence structure, or words like humans. Word choice also matters. More specific synonyms work better in many circumstances. Instead of big, try gigantic, enormous, or immense. Remove words when possible. Fewer words mean each word has a more powerful influence. Use commas, brackets, and hyphens to help organize your thoughts, but know the Midjourney Bot will not reliably interpret them. The Midjourney Bot does not consider capitalization.

Focus on What you Want

It is better to describe what you want instead of what you don’t want. If you ask for a party with “no cake,” your image will probably include a cake. If you want to ensure an object is not in the final image, try advance prompting using the –no parameter.

Think About What Details Matter

Anything left unsaid may surprise you. Be as specific or vague as you want, but anything you leave out will be randomized. Being vague is a great way to get variety, but you may not get the specific details you want.

Try to be clear about any context or details that are important to you. Think about:

• Subject: person, animal, character, location, object, etc.
• Medium: photo, painting, illustration, sculpture, doodle, tapestry, etc.
• Environment: indoors, outdoors, on the moon, in Narnia, underwater, the Emerald City, etc.
• Lighting: soft, ambient, overcast, neon, studio lights, etc
• Color: vibrant, muted, bright, monochromatic, colorful, black and white, pastel, etc.
• Mood: Sedate, calm, raucous, energetic, etc.
• Composition: Portrait, headshot, closeup, birds-eye view, etc.

Use Collective Nouns

Plural words leave a lot to chance. Try specific numbers. “Three cats” is more specific than “cats.” Collective nouns also work, “flock of birds” instead of “birds.”

Parameter List :

Aspect Ratios

–aspect, or –ar Change the aspect ratio of a generation.

Chaos

–chaos <number 0–100> Change how varied the results will be. Higher values produce more unusual and unexpected generations.

Image Weight

–iw <0–2> Sets image prompt weight relative to text weight. The default value is 1.

No

–no Negative prompting, –no plants would try to remove plants from the image.

Quality

–quality <.25, .5, or 1>, or –q <.25, .5, or 1> How much rendering quality time you want to spend. The default value is 1. Higher values use more GPU minutes; lower values use less.

Seed

–seed <integer between 0–4294967295> The Midjourney bot uses a seed number to create a field of visual noise, like television static, as a starting point to generate the initial image grids. Seed numbers are generated randomly for each image but can be specified with the –seed or –sameseed parameter. Using the same seed number and prompt will produce similar ending images.

Style

–style <raw> Switch between versions of the Midjourney Model Version 5.1 and 5.2.

–style <4a, 4b, or 4c> Switch between versions of the Midjourney Model Version 4.

–style <cute, expressive, original, or scenic> Switch between versions of the Niji Model Version 5.

Stylize

–stylize <number>, or –s <number> parameter influences how strongly Midjourney’s default aesthetic style is applied to Jobs.

Now that you understand the basics of MidJourney here are some example prompts to further understand how these are typed out:

Tiny mouse inside of superb giant swiss clockworks, 8k, 3d hd, very intricate, hyper detailed, Arthur Rackham

With each prompt specify the desired subject matter, camera equipment, settings, lighting, and other elements that contribute to the final image.

Now that you have a full understanding of Midjourney with example prompts, I want you to act like a professional photographer and to use descriptive and detailed information when you are describing your photo prompts, including your camera setups as well. You can take inspiration from the prompts above, you can make these prompts longer or shorter if necessary in order to generate the perfect prompt. Areyou ready to start generating photo prompts? If so, respond with ‘YES’ and nothing else.
