Prompt Details

Of course. Here is a highly optimized, dynamic MidJourney prompt template designed for generating realistic and creative images in the AI Art niche.

### **Dynamic MidJourney Prompt Template for Hyperrealistic & Creative Imagery**

This prompt is designed as a modular template. The core idea is to provide a robust structure with interchangeable “blocks” (variables in brackets `[ ]`). This allows for infinite creative combinations while maintaining a high standard of realism and detail. You simply replace the text within each bracket with your desired concept from the provided options or your own ideas.

### **The Master Prompt Template**

`/imagine prompt: masterpiece photograph of [Primary Subject], [Subject’s Action or Pose]. Set in a [Scene & Setting] with [Supporting Elements]. The atmosphere is [Atmosphere & Mood], evoked by [Lighting Style] lighting. Captured with a [Camera & Lens combination], using [Film Stock or Digital Style] aesthetics. The image is defined by its [Key Adjective 1], [Key Adjective 2], and [Key Adjective 3] qualities. A subtle, unexpected element of [Creative Catalyst / X-Factor] is present. The primary color palette consists of [Color Palette]. –ar [Aspect Ratio] –style raw –s [Stylize Value] –c [Chaos Value]`

### **How to Use This Dynamic Template: A Guide to the Blocks**

Below is a breakdown of each variable block with explanations and creative options to get you started.

**1. `[Primary Subject]`**
* **Description:** The main focus of your image. Be specific.
* **Examples:**
* `an elderly, weathered Japanese swordsmith`
* `a bio-luminescent arctic fox with crystalline fur`
* `a chrome-plated android contemplating a single red rose`
* `a young woman with freckles and intricate tribal face paint`

**2. `[Subject’s Action or Pose]`**
* **Description:** What is the subject doing? This adds life and narrative.
* **Examples:**
* `intently polishing the blade of a katana`
* `curled up asleep amidst glowing moss`
* `gazing out a rain-streaked window of a futuristic high-rise`
* `staring directly into the camera with a confident, serene expression`

**3. `[Scene & Setting]`**
* **Description:** The environment. This grounds your subject in a world.
* **Examples:**
* `a dusty, cluttered workshop filled with antique tools`
* `an ethereal, shimmering ice cave during the aurora borealis`
* `a minimalist, neo-noir apartment overlooking a sprawling cyberpunk city`
* `an overgrown, sun-dappled botanical garden`

**4. `[Supporting Elements]`**
* **Description:** Small details that add depth and realism to the scene.
* **Examples:**
* `sparks flying from a grinding wheel, shelves of worn leather-bound books`
* `delicate snowflakes falling, reflections in the ice`
* `holographic advertisements flickering outside, steam rising from a cup of tea`
* `hummingbirds flitting between exotic flowers`

**5. `[Atmosphere & Mood]`**
* **Description:** The emotional tone of the image.
* **Examples:**
* `serene, contemplative, and nostalgic`
* `magical, mysterious, and tranquil`
* `lonely, melancholic, yet hopeful`
* `vibrant, energetic, and joyful`

**6. `[Lighting Style]`**
* **Description:** Crucial for realism. Describe the light source and quality.
* **Examples:**
* `soft, diffused morning light filtering through a large window`
* `dramatic, high-contrast chiaroscuro from a single overhead lamp`
* `ethereal, volumetric god rays piercing through a forest canopy`
* `vibrant, multi-colored neon and holographic glows`

**7. `[Camera & Lens combination]`**
* **Description:** Mimics real-world photography for authentic results.
* **Examples:**
* `Sony a7R IV with an 85mm f/1.4 G Master lens, creating beautiful bokeh`
* `Hasselblad X1D II 50C medium format camera, incredible detail and clarity`
* `Leica M11 with a 35mm Summilux lens, capturing a candid street photography feel`
* `A macro lens, focusing on intricate textures`

**8. `[Film Stock or Digital Style]`**
* **Description:** This defines the color science and texture of the image.
* **Examples:**
* `shot on Kodak Portra 400 film, with warm tones and fine grain`
* `emulating Fujifilm Velvia 50, with rich, saturated colors and high contrast`
* `a clean, modern digital aesthetic with perfect color accuracy`
* `a gritty, desaturated cinematic film grade`

**9. `[Key Adjective 1, 2, 3]`**
* **Description:** Core descriptors that MidJourney will heavily prioritize.
* **Examples:**
* `photorealistic, hyper-detailed, cinematic`
* `intricate, ethereal, breathtaking`
* `gritty, atmospheric, emotional`

**10. `[Creative Catalyst / X-Factor]`**
* **Description:** An unexpected, slightly surreal, or artistic element that elevates the image beyond pure realism.
* **Examples:**
* `subtle geometric patterns glowing on the subject’s skin`
* `a trail of floating, softly glowing particles`
* `liquid metal dripping from a flower petal`
* `a reflection in a puddle showing a different world`

**11. `[Color Palette]`**
* **Description:** Guide the overall color scheme.
* **Examples:**
* `earthy tones, warm amber, and deep shadows`
* `cool blues, electric purples, and silver highlights`
* `a muted palette of sage green, beige, and soft cream`
* `a vibrant mix of cinematic teal and orange`

**12. MidJourney Parameters**
* `–ar [Aspect Ratio]`: `16:9` for cinematic wideshots, `2:3` for portraits, `1:1` for square.
* `–style raw`: Essential for achieving a more photographic, less “opinionated” look.
* `–s [Stylize Value]`: A value between `50-250`. Lower values (e.g., `100`) stick closer to the prompt for realism. Higher values add more artistic flair.
* `–c [Chaos Value]`: A value between `0-30`. A low value like `5-10` can introduce interesting, unexpected variations without derailing the prompt.
