That's awesome! Glad to know you liked this prompt guide, Midjourney is the best for cinematic photos

[@ricardothompson2700]

This is without question the best Midjourney prompt video I've seen on KZbin since Midjourney came out.

[@taoprompts]

I really appreciate that man 🙏. Midjourney is still the best image generator imo, especially for cinematic photography

[@federicoleone923]

true!

[@RAZR_Channel]

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....

Me senti agora sendo "alfabetizada"😅 apta a descobrir um mundo totalmente novo. Muito obrigada mesmo 🙌

Wow. I was playing with the prompt for Midjourney but was never able to really get the result that i wanted. These simple and easy tricks that you are giving are incredible in how effective they are. Thank you so much ! ❤

[@taoprompts]

You're welcome! Midjourney can be tricky to prompt in sometimes, so it's always good to know the types of prompt keys you need to get what you have in mind.

[@taoprompts]

That's awesome! It's cool to hear so many different ways to use Midjourney, you can make some really nice album art with it.

[@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!

[@danwang2607]

Best tutorial, clear explanation, helps me a lot! thanks!

[@taoprompts]

Glad to know this helped! MJ is still one of the best for Ai photography

[@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.

[@KpMak]

These simple and easy tricks that you are giving are incredible ,thanks!

[@taoprompts]

Thanks, I'm glad these were helpful!

[@WillDanceAlone2U]

Amazing video on lighting, camera angles and prompt structure. Really good. Thank you.

[@taoprompts]

Thanks! There's a lot you can do with Midjourney.

[@Voltisvoltis]

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.

[@king2crash467]

Word order was really important for version 5.2! Now that we have version 6 it does not seem to matter as much any more.

[@larsfranzen511]

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.

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.

@@stylewithaudra5570 The Midjourney reddit forum is actually a decent place to get some exposure.

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.

[@rarkmutte]

very good tutorial, thnx !

[@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

[@rossobosso]

btw the thing with the order of words, for example naming the colors, has changed with 6.1!i got the same results and right colors, no matter which order i described the outfit. cool thing though!

[@taoprompts]

Yup, the newer Midjourney models are much better with understanding prompts. Pretty much all parts of the prompts are included properly now 👍

[@rossobosso]

@@taoprompts they do, indeed! i am recording a biiiiiig tutorial for a marketing agency and mentioned this thing, too, but then noticed afterwards, that this problem doesn´t exist anymore, haha. but btw, even if some tutorials of you are a bit older, most of it didn´t lose it´s meaning in mj :D

can I use this prompts in Leonardo?

You can use the basic ideas, but the results won't be as good for photorealistic images.

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.

[@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"

[@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

[@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.

[@bullshark1152]

I never get a hybrid to work in Midjourney. I get 2 images of the one and 2 images of the other. No hybrids…. What is your trick?

This guide was made for version 5.2. In version 6, try a prompt like "Animal fusion hybrid of a tiger and an ox in natural habitat --style raw"

[@midjourneyaiarts]

❤❤ hi. ❤MJ releasing model personalization. Get at least 200 image ratings and then add --p after your prompt. Personalization completely changes the way system interprets your prompts.

As important as camera position, it's the LIGHT placement, please tell me how to place the Sun on an image. how to tell that I want the Sun at my back to use Sunlight without seeing the Sun. Example Hard Test: Try to do an image of a face illuminated by a Sunset, and we are NOT seeing the Sun, nor the sunset, the Sun it's the source of light at that time of the day at the beach for example, but I don't want to see the Sun, just the person with frontal light coming from the Sun.
