Midjourney Prompts
The best Midjourney prompts combine a clear subject, specific art style or artist reference, lighting conditions, composition details, and Midjourney parameters. Structure: [subject], [style/artist], [lighting], [mood], [technical details], --ar [ratio] --stylize [0-1000]. Example: "a lone lighthouse on a rocky cliff at dusk, cinematic photography, golden hour light, dramatic storm clouds, wide angle, highly detailed --ar 16:9 --stylize 750".
These Midjourney prompts are structured to work with v6 and produce consistently high-quality results. Each one includes the subject, style, lighting, composition, and quality parameters that Midjourney responds best to. Copy any prompt directly into the Midjourney Discord bot or web app and adjust the subject to make it your own. Midjourney interprets prompts differently from ChatGPT-based tools — it responds strongly to visual descriptors, artist name references, and parameter flags like --ar (aspect ratio), --stylize, and --style raw. The prompts below are pre-formatted with these elements so you can get great results immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best parameters to use in Midjourney prompts?+
The most useful Midjourney parameters are --ar (aspect ratio, e.g. --ar 16:9 for widescreen), --stylize (controls artistic interpretation, 0-1000, default 100), --style raw (disables default Midjourney aesthetic for more literal prompt following), --quality (0.25, 0.5, or 1 for render time vs quality), and --no (negative prompts, e.g. --no text, watermark). For most use cases, --ar 16:9 --stylize 250 --style raw produces high-quality, prompt-accurate results.
How do I write better Midjourney prompts?+
Structure your prompts as: subject description, art style or artist reference, lighting and mood, composition details, quality modifiers, then parameters. Be specific rather than vague — "a Victorian townhouse on a cobblestone street" outperforms "a house". Reference specific photographers, artists, or movements for style consistency. Use lighting terms like golden hour, studio lighting, and rim light to dramatically improve quality.
What is the difference between Midjourney v5 and v6 prompts?+
Midjourney v6 is significantly more responsive to natural language prompts and less reliant on keyword-list style prompts. It follows detailed scene descriptions more accurately, handles text rendering (still limited but improved), and produces more photorealistic results. V6 also responds better to artist name references and cinematic language. Use --style raw with v6 for maximum prompt accuracy.
Can I use Midjourney images commercially?+
Midjourney paid subscribers (Basic plan and above) have general commercial usage rights to their generations. Free tier users do not have commercial rights. Pro plan subscribers get additional privacy features. Always check Midjourney's current terms of service for the most up-to-date commercial licensing terms before using images in client work, products, or marketing.
How do I get consistent characters across multiple Midjourney images?+
Use Midjourney's Character Reference feature (--cref) with an image URL of your character to maintain consistency. You can also use seed numbers (--seed) to create similar starting points. Describe your character in detail in every prompt and use identical clothing and style descriptors across prompts. The --sref (style reference) flag works similarly for maintaining consistent visual aesthetics.
