AI Prompts for Photographers: Shoot Concepts, Client Comms & Editing
AI won't replace your camera, but it will kill the dead time around a shoot — moodboards, client emails, pricing, captions. Here's how photographers actually use AI, with copy-paste prompts for each part of the job.
Midjourney vs Flux: Which Is Better for AI Portraits?
Midjourney makes the prettier image; Flux makes the more believable one. Here's the real difference between the two for portraits — realism, prompt accuracy, control — with the same prompt run both ways and a clear verdict.
The Cinematic Portrait Prompt Formula: Turn a Snapshot Into a Film Still
The difference between a snapshot and a film still is about six words. Here's the cinematic portrait formula, token by token — lens, film stock, lighting, grade — with copy-paste prompts for noir, golden-hour and neon looks.
Use the attached photo as the facial reference. Preserve the subject's exact face, skin tone, bone structure, and features with complete accuracy throughout. A superhero, South Asian male, late 20s, standing at the edge of a skyscraper rooftop during a storm. Wearing an original hero suit: deep black armored bodysuit with geometric ridge lines across the chest and shoulders in deep indigo — not painted, structurally raised — fitted gauntlets ending at the wrist, no cape. The suit is not spandex — it has the weight and texture of military-grade carbon composite. His right arm is slightly raised, palm forward — a faint crackling indigo energy visible between his fingers, not explosive, just present. Lightning in the stormclouds behind him illuminates everything from behind. Rain streaks across the frame. Expression: completely calm. Eyes open, directly ahead. As if the storm is nothing.Camera: worm's eye view — lens at ankle level, pointed straight up. He stands above the lens; the storm sky fills the entire background. The rooftop edge is at the bottom of the frame. He occupies the center and upper third. 24mm, f/2.8. The perspective is extreme — his shoulders are wide, his head small, his legs foreshortened into power. Color palette: deep black suit, indigo energy, steel grey storm clouds, white-blue lightning behind, rain streaks as silver diagonals across the frame. No warm tones. Cold, electric, vast. Ultra-photorealistic. The suit must have real armored texture — visible ridges, panel lines, material weight. The indigo energy must be subtle — not an explosion, just a faint crackling glow at the fingertips. The rain must be real — diagonal streaks, not fog. 4:5 ratio image
