Cinematic & portrait
Cinematic portrait
cinematic portrait of [subject], dramatic side lighting, shallow depth of field, 85mm lens, film still, moody color grade --ar 4:5 --style raw
The --style raw flag strips Midjourney's default beautify pass so the light and grade you asked for actually show. 4:5 is the portrait crop that reads as editorial.
Fantasy hero shot
epic wide shot of [character] on a cliff at dawn, volumetric light, sweeping landscape, painterly detail, concept-art quality --ar 16:9
Wide plus volumetric light plus a painterly cue is the concept-art recipe. The 16:9 ratio frames it like a key art still.
Product & brand
Studio product shot
professional product photo of [product], seamless background, soft studio light, subtle reflection, ultra sharp, commercial photography --ar 1:1 --style raw
Square plus --style raw plus commercial-photography language gives you a clean listing image Midjourney won't over-stylize.
Lifestyle flat-lay
top-down flat-lay of [product] with natural props, soft daylight, warm tones, organized composition, lifestyle brand photography --ar 1:1
Flat-lay plus named props plus daylight is the look brands use on social. Calling for organized composition stops the clutter.
Design & style
Logo concept
minimal vector logo concept for [brand], simple geometric mark, two-color, flat, on white --ar 1:1
Midjourney is not a vector tool, but two-color flat geometric prompts give clean concept directions you can hand to a designer to redraw.
Poster art
bold graphic poster for [theme], strong negative space, limited palette, modern typography feel, print quality --ar 2:3
Negative space plus a limited palette is how modern posters read. The 2:3 ratio matches standard print sizes.
Sticker sheet
cute sticker design of [subject], die-cut white border, flat vivid colors, kawaii style, on white background --ar 1:1
The white die-cut border and flat colors are what make an image work as an actual sticker or emote.
Watercolor illustration
loose watercolor illustration of [subject], soft edges, paper texture, muted palette, hand-painted feel --ar 3:2
Naming the medium and paper texture gives a warm, human illustration instead of the hard digital look.
