Generate Professional-Grade Images That Clients Can't Tell From Real Photography

The difference between "AI slop" and images that win design awards comes down to prompt engineering. These 50 prompts are the result of generating 10,000+ images and distilling what actually works — the specific camera settings, lighting descriptions, composition techniques, and style modifiers that transform generic AI output into professional-grade visuals.

Each prompt includes Midjourney v6, DALL-E 3, and Flux-specific syntax with parameter recommendations, negative prompts, and iteration strategies.
