Expert Tips for Perfect Results

• Run each prompt 3-4 times to get variation options - Midjourney creates slightly different results each time

• Use --v 6 for the most realistic results, which is ideal for professional portraits

• Adjust --s values between 50-100 for portrait refinement - lower values create more variation, higher values maintain more prompt consistency

• Start with these templates then customize specific details like age, ethnicity, hair description, and clothing colors to match your needs

• Pay attention to clothing and background choices for your industry - what works for creative professionals might not be appropriate for legal or financial sectors

• For corporate use, ensure the generated images align with your company's visual identity and dress code guidelines

• Save high-resolution versions for different applications - LinkedIn, website headers, and printed materials may require different image sizes
