Prompt
A photorealistic close-up selfie of a girl lying on her side on a soft surface. Her head is slightly tilted, with her face positioned almost horizontally relative to the frame. The girl looks directly into the camera with an expressive gaze, her lips slightly pouted. One hand is positioned near her head. Long, thick, well-groomed hair is loosely spread across the pillow around her face, with voluminous roots and soft strands framing her cheeks. Doll-like makeup: long black eyelashes with expressive rays, thin eyeliner, neat eyebrows, a light blush, and full lips with matte pink-beige lipstick. A small earring in her ear and a neat piercing near her lip. Soft, subdued lighting, a dark cozy background. The framing is very close, with emphasis on the face and hair. Preserve my face strictly 1:1; do not change the facial features, the shape of the eyes, nose, lips, or face oval. Slight digital noise, soft sharpness, muted colors, strong grain, a candid live phone-shot effect, no plastic-looking skin. Aspect ratio 3:4.

Why This Prompt Works
The high word count gives the model rich context, reducing ambiguity and producing more consistent results. The photorealistic and portrait aesthetic signals are specific enough that the model can lock onto a distinct visual language. Explicit lighting direction (a leading signal in prompt engineering) significantly improves photo-realism and composition. Well-crafted prompts like this one combine subject precision, style vocabulary, and rendering hints — the three pillars of reliable AI image generation.
Best Model
FLUX is strongly recommended for this prompt. FLUX 1.1 Pro excels at photorealism and handles complex lighting instructions more accurately than older models.
Common Failure Modes
Face distortion is the most common issue — enable 'face fix' or use --no deformed faces in Midjourney. Hands may also look unnatural; add 'perfect hands, detailed fingers' if body is included.
Prompt Variations to Try
- 1Cinematic version: Add "golden hour lighting, anamorphic lens, shallow depth of field, film grain" to shift the mood toward a movie still.
- 2Commercial-safe version: Replace stylized terms with "clean, minimalist, white background, product photography style" for brand or e-commerce use.
- 3Night version: Add "nighttime, neon lights, city reflections, low-light photography, f/1.4 aperture" to shift to night photography aesthetics.
