Most Midjourney users stick to simple descriptive prompts and wonder why their outputs look mediocre. Professional-quality results require understanding Midjourney's language. Start with the technical parameters: --ar 16:9 for widescreen, --ar 4:5 for Instagram, --q 2 for higher quality. Use --style raw for less artistic interpretation and more prompt-literal results. For photography style images, specify camera and lens: 'shot on Hasselblad, 85mm lens, f/1.4' dramatically changes the feel. Lighting is the single biggest quality differentiator. 'Rembrandt lighting', 'golden hour backlight', 'studio three-point lighting' — specific lighting terms produce results that look professionally shot. Style references are V7's most powerful new feature. Add '--sref [image URL]' to apply the aesthetic of a reference image to your output. This is how you build visual consistency across a project. For text in images: describe text placement, font style, and content explicitly. Avoid complex multi-line text — keep it to 1-3 words for reliability. Negative prompts (--no [element]) remove unwanted elements. '--no watermark, text, logo, signature' keeps images clean. The difference between a mediocre and professional Midjourney image is almost always in these details, not in using more complex descriptions.
