Expert Usage Tips
Adjust the focal length from 85mm to 35mm if you want a wider environmental portrait that captures more of the ethereal background.
Incorporate specific color palettes by adding keywords like “monochrome with gold accents” to force the model into a specific color theory.
Use the –stylize parameter in Midjourney (e.g., –s 250) to balance the prompt’s adherence to your instructions versus the AI’s creative freedom.
If the face appears too smooth, add “micro-texture, skin imperfections, visible pores” to the beginning of the prompt to increase photorealism.
Experiment with lighting modifiers like “hard directional sunlight” or “soft window light” to drastically change the mood of the portrait.
