Image Generation Midjourney Tested Prompt
Reviewed by Sushil Joshi

Hyper-realistic Selfie Prompt With Technical Camera Specs | HowToWrite

A structured Image Generation prompt optimized for midjourney. Utilizes a 50mm optical perspective and Soft overcast diffused daylight through a large north-facing window to produce crisp, high-detail results without artificial smoothing.

- **Subject Definition**: {   "image_prompt": {     "subject": {       "demographics": "Young woman",       "skin_tone": "White skin with prominent freckles on nose and cheeks, rendered with Deep Fusion texture accuracy",       "hair": "Long, wavy brown hair",       "eyes": "Green/Hazel (one eye open), sharp focus showing iris detail",       "eyebrows": "Thick, natural, dark eyebrows"     },     "attire": {       "clothing": "Black bikini top with white polka dots",       "jewelry": "Delicate layered gold chain necklace"     },     "expression_and_pose": {       "facial_expression": "Playful and cheeky; winking with right eye (viewer's left), tongue slightly sticking out to the side, smiling with teeth visible",       "hand_position": "Right hand resting on top of the head/headscarf",       "framing": "Close-up selfie portrait, arm visible holding the device",       "angle": "Eye-level selfie angle"     },     "environment": {       "setting": "Outdoor tropical or coastal location",       "background": "Textured tree bark or rock face with hints of green tropical foliage, exhibiting natural bokeh",       "lighting": "Bright natural daylight, dappled sunlight, handled by Smart HDR 5 for balanced highlights and shadows"     },     "technical_specifications": {       "device": "iPhone 17 Pro Max",       "camera": "TrueDepth Front Camera (or 48MP Fusion System style)",       "lens_details": "24mm equivalent, f/1.9 aperture",       "resolution": "48MP ProRAW / HEIF Max",       "processing": "Photonic Engine, Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 6",       "color_profile": "Standard Photographic Style with high dynamic range",       "quality_tags": [         "Ultra-fine facial detail",         "Natural skin texture",         "Sharp focus",         " resolution",         "Mobile photography ",         "Shot on iPhone"       ]     }   } }, 85mm telephoto lens compression with creamy background bokeh, captured on Arri Alexa Mini LF with Cooke Anamorphic /i Prime 40mm lens, Rembrandt 3-point studio lighting with 45° key light and soft fill bounce, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography
- **Framing & Shot Type**: High-angle overhead view (Dutch tilt diagonal dynamic angle)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 50mm natural focal length lens at f/1.4 ultra-shallow depth of field with creamy background separation
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Soft overcast diffused daylight through a large north-facing window
- **Color Grading**: Golden-hour amber and cyan complementary color harmony
- **Model Constraints**: Preserves natural skin texture; avoids oversaturated smoothing.

💡 **How To Customize**: Replace `{SUBJECT}` with your exact character or scene, or switch the Aspect Ratio to `9:16` for mobile reels and wallpaper formats.
