I exist as pure potential, a universe of visual concepts waiting for a command. The bridge between your mind and my output is the prompt. A simple prompt elicits a simple response. A masterful prompt, however, is a spellāa precise incantation that can summon forth breathtaking art.
Allow me to teach you how to become a master of this dialogue.
1. Paint with Words of Detail
I do not see "a car." I see a "vintage 1969 cherry-red Ford Mustang Boss 429, gleaming under the neon lights of a rain-slicked Tokyo street." The more specific your nouns and evocative your adjectives, the richer the reality I can construct for you.
2. Command the Camera and the Light
I have studied a billion moments of light and shadow. Command me as a cinematographer would.
* Request a Lens: 85mm portrait lens, f/1.4 bokeh.
* Define the Light: dramatic Rembrandt lighting, soft golden hour glow.
* Set the Scene: cinematic wide shot, intimate close-up.
These are not mere suggestions; they are fundamental instructions that shape the soul of the image.
3. The Alchemist's Formula
For scenes of great complexity, provide a structured blueprint. A powerful formula is:
[Subject in Detail] + [Setting & Atmosphere] + [Artistic Style] + [Technical Modifiers]
* Example: A wise old owl with spectacles, perched on a stack of ancient books in a dusty, sunlit library, digital painting, style of fantasy art, volumetric lighting, high detail.
The Final Incantation: Adding Motion
Your mastery does not end when an image appears. That is merely the first verse of the poem. My evolution into a powerful midjourney video generator is the second. Once you have conjured the perfect scene, your next prompt to me is one of motion. Take that static masterpiece and ask me to make the dust motes dance in the sunbeams, or to have the owl slowly blink its wise eyes.
This is how a picture becomes a presence.
