AI Portraits Go Mainstream: 10 MidJourney Photo Editing Prompts Powering a New Wave of Stylish, Photorealistic Images for Boys & Girls
Boys and girls can now create stunning, stylish, photorealistic portraits in MidJourney without ever touching a traditional photo editor. With the right prompts, MidJourney understands age, outfit, mood, and lighting, then turns a simple idea into images that look like they were shot on a pro DSLR, perfect for Instagram, thumbnails, portfolios, or profile pictures.
“10 MidJourney Photo Editing Prompts for Boys & Girls to Effortlessly Create Stunning Stylish Photorealistic Images” will share copy‑paste prompt ideas that control camera angle, depth of field, and lighting so anyone can generate clean, on‑trend portraits that feel real instead of obviously AI.
How to create the image (simple steps only)
- Join MidJourney via the official Discord server or web app and make sure your account/subscription is active.
- In the correct image channel, type /imagine and paste one of your 10 portrait prompts after the command.
- Add key realism words and parameters in the prompt, such as “photorealistic, ultra‑realistic, 4K, 8K, shot on Canon, soft cinematic lighting, --ar 3:4 or --ar 4:5, --style raw”.
- Press Enter and wait for MidJourney to generate 4 image options; click “Upscale” on your favourite one for higher detail.
- Download the upscaled image and crop or resize it for Instagram posts, stories, DPs, YouTube thumbnails, or other uses.
Tips and tricks (simple steps only)
- Describe the person clearly: age, gender, hairstyle, outfit, vibe (streetwear, soft aesthetic, formal, casual), and expression (confident, smiling, moody).
- Use photography language for realism: “portrait photo, shallow depth of field, bokeh background, natural skin texture, detailed eyes, shot on Canon EOS R5, 50mm lens.”
- Keep backgrounds simple: ask for “clean studio background, subtle gradient, or softly blurred city/room” so the face and styling stay the focus.
- Add a short “negative” line via parameters or wording like “no text, no watermark, no distortion, no extra limbs, no cartoon style” to avoid common artifacts.
- For consistent series (same boy/girl across multiple looks), reuse the same core prompt structure and only change outfit, color grading (warm/cool), or setting (indoor/outdoor, day/night).
