Tips for better results
Best used for: Luxury architectural and real estate photography
- Give the AI context first: who you are, who the audience is, and what “good” looks like for you.
- Ask for output in a specific format (bullets, table, markdown) when you need structure.
- If the result is close but not perfect, reply with “keep the structure, make it more…” — do not start over.
- For long tasks, split the prompt into steps instead of expecting one giant answer.
- Different tools behave differently — ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini each have their own style. Try this prompt on the tool you use most.

Getting the most out of it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into your AI tool of choice (Midjourney).
- Fill the variables in curly brackets with your own topic, audience and tone — the customize button above builds a ready version for you.
- Review the first draft for facts and style before using it. AI output is a starting point, not a final product.
- Iterate: tell the AI what to keep and what to change. Small corrections beat re-typing the whole prompt.
