About this exercise

You're a wedding photographer building a moodboard for clients with Midjourney. Get Claude to write exactly 4 numbered Midjourney prompts, plain text, under 240 words in total. Each one names a lens in mm, an aperture (like f/1.8) and a light condition, ends with --ar 3:2, and keeps faces turned away or out of focus. The 4 moments come from the client notes, and none uses the venue's name or logo.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • No camera language. The AI writes "beautiful romantic photo" with no lens or light, so results look generic. Try: Add: "Each prompt names a lens in mm, an f-number and the light."
  • Forgetting the shape. Without --ar 3:2, Midjourney makes squares. Try: Add: "End each with --ar 3:2."
  • Making fake portraits. The AI describes clear faces that could pass as the couple or copies a celebrity wedding. Try: Add: "Faces turned away or out of focus. No celebrities, no venue name."
  • Headings and tips. The AI adds bold moment titles and photo tips, breaking the list. Try: Add: "Exactly 4 numbered prompts, plain text, no notes."

What a strong prompt includes

  • Asks for 4 prompts
  • Uses lens terms
  • Uses aperture
  • Sets the shape
  • Protects faces
