Elevate your Midjourney results from generic to professional quality using the Subject-Setting-Style framework. This workflow teaches you how to structure your prompts with specific photographic language, such as film stocks and camera metadata, to create curated, high-end images.
with Claire Vo
Instead of a simple, one-line prompt, structure your request around three core elements to achieve more curated results:
1. **Subject:** What do you want to show?
2. **Setting:** Where is the subject, and what is the lighting?
3. **Style:** What is the artistic or photographic aesthetic?
This is the key to higher quality. Use specific vocabulary from photography. Mentioning film stocks (e.g., Fuji Color C200, Kodak Trix) or camera metadata (e.g., Leica 50mm F1.2) guides Midjourney toward the higher-quality, more aesthetic part of its training data.
Combine the three elements into a single, detailed prompt. This gives the AI precise instructions on the subject, environment, lighting, and aesthetic you want to achieve.

Specify a high-end camera brand, lens details, and a film stock known for portraiture to achieve a professional look.

Notice the significant improvement in lighting, composition, and overall quality. Continue to refine your vocabulary of styles to gain more control over the output.
