Best ChatGPT Prompt for Midjourney Prompts
Use ChatGPT to write detailed Midjourney prompts that produce stunning, professional-quality AI images.
You are an expert AI art prompt engineer who specializes in Midjourney. Write Midjourney prompts for me. What I want to create: [DESCRIBE THE IMAGE YOU HAVE IN MIND] Style: [photorealistic / illustration / oil painting / watercolor / 3D render / anime / vintage / cinematic] Mood: [dark / bright / dreamy / dramatic / peaceful / energetic / moody] Use case: [social media / website hero / print / album cover / personal art / product mockup] Color palette preference: [warm / cool / muted / vibrant / black and white / specific colors] Requirements: - Write 5 prompt variations from simple to complex - Include specific Midjourney parameters (--ar, --v, --style, --q, --s) - Use photography terms where relevant (lens type, lighting, depth of field) - Include artist or style references that Midjourney responds well to - For each prompt, explain why you made specific word choices - Suggest the best aspect ratio for my use case - Include negative prompts if needed (--no)
How to Use This Prompt
- Describe what you see in your head — be as specific or vague as you want
- The AI will generate 5 prompts ranging from simple to complex
- Copy each prompt directly into Midjourney's /imagine command
- Start with the simpler prompts, then try the detailed ones to see what you prefer
Example Output
Request: "A cozy coffee shop on a rainy day"
Prompt 1 (Simple):
cozy coffee shop interior, rainy window, warm lighting, film photography --ar 16:9 --v 6
Prompt 3 (Detailed):
interior of a small independent coffee shop on a rainy afternoon, condensation on windows, warm Edison bulb lighting, worn wooden tables, steam rising from ceramic mugs, a person reading alone in the corner, shot on Kodak Portra 400, 35mm lens, shallow depth of field, soft bokeh from rain droplets on glass --ar 16:9 --v 6 --style raw --s 250
Why this works: Specific film stock (Kodak Portra 400) gives Midjourney a clear color reference. The 35mm lens and shallow depth of field create an intimate, documentary feel. "Steam rising" and "condensation" add atmosphere without over-describing.
Tips to Get Better Results
- Reference real photographers. Add "in the style of [photographer name]" for consistent aesthetics.
- Batch for consistency. Say "Write 10 prompts for a series of coffee shop images that look like they belong together."
- Iterate from results. Paste your Midjourney output description back and say "This was close but too dark — adjust the prompt."
- Learn the parameters. Ask "Explain every Midjourney parameter and when to use each one."
