Prompt Template
portrait of {{subject_description}}, {{art_style}}, {{lighting}}, {{expression}}, {{background}}, highly detailed, {{camera_lens}}, professional portrait photography --ar {{aspect_ratio}} --v 6.1 --style raw Example Output
A strikingly composed portrait of a woman in her early 30s, rendered with the quality of a professional editorial shoot. Soft natural window light sculpts her features from the left, creating gentle shadows that add depth. Her short dark hair frames a confident, slightly smiling face. The blurred studio background keeps all attention on the subject. The 85mm focal length creates a flattering compression typical of high-end portrait photography.

For consistent character appearance across multiple images, generate a strong base portrait first, then use Midjourney's 'Vary (Subtle)' or image reference with --cref to maintain the same face across different scenes.
