With the release of&nbsp;<strong>Midjourney v6<\/strong>, the engine is powerful enough to mimic real-world camera optics, but only if you know how to structure your prompts correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, we are sharing 5 foundational secrets and ready-to-use prompts to help you achieve stunning, professional photography straight out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secret 1: Specify the Camera Lens and Film Stock<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI models respond incredibly well to real photography terminology. Instead of just asking for a portrait, tell the AI what lens captured it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>A candid street photography portrait of a traveler in downtown Tokyo, shot on 35mm lens, f\/1.8 aperture, natural lighting, Kodak Portra 400 film stock, authentic skin texture --ar 4:5 --style raw --v 6.0\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Why it works:<\/strong>&nbsp;Mentioning lens apertures like&nbsp;<code>f\/1.8<\/code>&nbsp;naturally generates a realistic depth-of-field effect, blurring the background organically just like a DSLR camera.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secret 2: Control the Atmosphere with Lighting Cues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lighting makes or breaks a cinematic shot. Avoid generic terms like &#8220;good lighting&#8221; and specify exact conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>A moody cinematic close-up of an artist working in a dimly lit studio, strong side lighting casting dramatic shadows, soft golden hour glow from a side window, dust motes visible in the air, ultra-detailed --ar 16:9 --v 6.0\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secret 3: Use&nbsp;<code>--style raw<\/code>&nbsp;for Human-Like Textures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Midjourney v6 defaults to adding a lot of its own artistic flair. If you want a more natural, human-written feel to your images without over-stylization, always append&nbsp;<code>--style raw<\/code>&nbsp;to the end of your prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro-Tips for Promptraja Readers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Aspect Ratios:<\/strong>&nbsp;Use&nbsp;<code>--ar 1:1<\/code>&nbsp;for avatars,&nbsp;<code>--ar 4:5<\/code>&nbsp;for Instagram and social media, and&nbsp;<code>--ar 16:9<\/code>&nbsp;for video headers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep Experimenting:<\/strong>&nbsp;Swap out the subjects in the templates above to match your creative vision!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>What type of prompt guides would you like to see next?
