Tips for Crafting Effective Prompts
A. Using descriptive language
When creating prompts for realistic portraits, it’s essential to use descriptive language that provides MidJourney AI with enough information to generate a detailed image. Describe the subject’s appearance, including facial features, hair, and clothing. For example, instead of writing “a woman,” try “a young woman with wavy brown hair, green eyes, and a red dress.”
B. Add emotions and expressions in your prompt
To make your portraits more engaging, include emotions and expressions in your prompts. This helps the AI understand the mood you want to convey in the portrait. For example, “a smiling young woman with wavy brown hair, green eyes, and a red dress” or “a pensive elderly man with a white beard, wearing glasses and a tweed jacket.”
C. Specifying lighting and background settings
Lighting and background play a crucial role in creating realistic portraits. Be specific about the lighting conditions and the background setting in your prompts. For example, “a young woman with wavy brown hair, green eyes, and a red dress, illuminated by soft, warm light against a blurred cityscape background.”
