Cinematic & Photorealistic Ai Image Prompts! - Complete Guide - Midjourney

In this tutorial, I cover the fundamental aspects of prompting for cinematic & photorealistic Ai images in Midjourney. This includes fundamental aspects of Ai photography such as camera angles, color grading photos, and lighting. We'll talk about prompt structures & word orders with the best practices. In addition, we'll look at styling your images and creating your own distinctive photo style.

The best tutorial I've seen yet. Too many Tubers are focused on themselves and shoving their face in the camera for likes and subs... They are promoting themselves more than the subject of the video. I dislike them as in Thumbs down... This video is very to the point with Very helpful info.... Thumbs up and +1 sub....

[@giri.goyo_yt]

Ahhhhh! You cracked the code. Some of my problems stem from word order. The other topics were awesome reminders and gave me a fresh perspective on my prompting. This video rocks. Thank you once again!

[@taoprompts]

You're welcome! I've had a ton of issues with word order too. Idk if that's something they can even fix with the ai model, but you can always work around it. Always happy to help!

[@endlessdaze6054]

This channel has been so helpful in my own growth with ai art! I am actually using Tensor Art but the information you give naturally translates across all these platforms with some minor tweaking. The particulars of prompt structure itself is the most important, along with camera angles etc. Thankyou and I can see your content has blossomed over time into these very well crafted presentations and so I not only thank but must also congratulate you on your own growth too!

[@taoprompts]

Thanks I appreciate that! I haven't tried Tensor Art but I have used SDWebui which is similar and the control you get is really nice. The different platforms do seem to have a lot of similarities when it comes to prompting.

[@c.d.osajotiamaraca3382]

Excellent; one of the more high quality prompt instructions. Interesting way to weight each characteristic (by description order flow). This is also achieved by numeric weight descriptors after a prompt word, like ::0.5 or . I think Mid Journey recognizes the former.

[@taoprompts]

Thanks! Weight descriptors will definitely work as well. It seems that in Midjourney version 6, it can be hard to get all the exact elements, especially when it comes to certain camera angles since the model likes to focus on faces quite a bit. It's important to try and control each element of the image separately.

[@taoprompts]

@@stylewithaudra5570 The Midjourney reddit forum is actually a decent place to get some exposure. Instagram is more saturated, but I've seen accounts use Ai images combined with an Ai motion tool like leiapix, with simple capcut effects to create reels which seems to do pretty well. exnihilo.creations is an instagram account like that.

Thank you for this great tutorial. I watched it about 10 times now. Can you make tutorial about consistent characters in mid journey because this is something I am still struggling a lot.

[@adi.m.tattoo]

Great guide. Thanks to it, I'm doing better and better things. Thanks a lot 🙏I'm starting my journey with midjurney. I work as a tattoo artist and generate references in it. I'm creating better characters, but I still struggle with generating realistically looking skulls. They all seem toy-like, even when following your tips. Do you have any advice?

[@taoprompts]

Thank you. Maybe try a different location where you expect to see a real skull: "photo of a human skull in a museum" "Stock photo of a human skull with a plain white background" I not sure exactly what a skull is supposed to look like, but they look realistic to me.

[@adi.m.tattoo]

@@taoprompts thanks for the answer. Love your channel. Keep going bro! 😁

[@anish956]

amazing tutorial. I have some prompts I just cant figure out. Hoping you or the community can help me out. How do I replicate a realistic photo of a person that makes it look like it was taken on an iphone? I also want to be able to do this with the only lighting coming from the camera flash. I can't seem to get it right

[@TimeCapsuleCosmicDreams]

How you are able to make so realistic ai short film like lighting so realistic and camera moment.❤❤❤❤ Love your way.

[@taoprompts]

Thank you! For short films you can try Pika Labs or RunwayML. Here's an old tutorial I made, I will post an updated version soon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpLaf6GlpNmSp8k

[@TimeCapsuleCosmicDreams]

@@taoprompts thanks

[@FishzWorld]

Man, I'm debating if I sure invest in MJ. Ty for the tips.

[@taoprompts]

It's worth trying, at least for a month or so. I think it does make the best looking images.

[@darcybrown7369]

thanks for this Tao, I find that MJ really doesn't like venturing away from portraits even when first prompt is for full body/full length - time and time again it just brings those portraits which is incredibly frustrating. Tried putting full length/full body after the subject and described a full cinematic scene but it wants to do its own thing.

[@taoprompts]

Hey, did you try starting with a vertical aspect ratio like --ar 9:16 and then panning/custom zoom out horizontally? Also if you include clues for the lower body, like types of shoes that can also help with full body prompts.

[@darcybrown7369]

​@@taopromptsthanks I'll give that a try

[@sidejike438]

Any idea of these prompts would also work for SD?

[@taoprompts]

They keywords should mostly translate over and have a visible effect, but the quality and style will be slightly different.

[@MikeBNumba6]

How do you make the background not clear in closeup photos of a person. For instance if I had a prompt like "cute girl hiking in the mountains," the mountains come out blurry in the background. how do you fix the blurry background?

[@taoprompts]

That's a tricky one. You could try using the words "deep focus photography" which in real life will sharpen the background, but it doesn't always work well. The opposite would be "shallow focus" example: "deep focus photo, a woman at the arches national park, noon, insta x"

[@MikeBNumba6]

@@taoprompts thank you. I figured it out. I used *"high depth of field, every detail of the valley is crystal clear, shot with a DSLR 4k, Camera Lens 24mm, f/16"*

[@taoprompts]

Oh wow, that sounds complicated. Good to hear you got it working tho.@@MikeBNumba6

[@CamiloAcosta-sl1dn]

Hey, I tried your exact prompt at 3:47 and got nowhere near the girl with the different angles and photo quality you got with the 6 images split. Was there more to your prompt or image references? Thank you

[@taoprompts]

Hey, this video was made with Midjourney Version 5.2 so that may be the difference there.

[@JackKoh-hi2yn]

i want a better way to create image to image with 100% same face. I tried with several ways but failed. I used my own photo instead, but cannot. My purpose is to create 64 or many photos with same face or image of different post or style in order to produce a video later. Please advice, tks.

[@taoprompts]

Hey, there's a new consistent characters feature which makes that possible. I have provided an update tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJqYfISLj7h-oa8

Create on the Leonard

[@taoprompts]

These prompts tips also work on leonard ai

[@mbcase]

Have you tried these prompts with /shorten? I wonder how many of these long prompt keywords matter..

[@taoprompts]

I haven't tried that yet. In my experience the /shorten command frequently misinterprets your original prompt. It will shorten phrases, but then the shortened keywords mean something different to the Ai from your original prompt.
