How should I use these prompts?
Every prompt follows the same pattern: a subject, a setting, the light, and a style or camera. Swap the subject for yours first and keep the light and style words, because they do most of the work. Then change one part at a time to see what each word does.
What do the prompts look like?
Here is one prompt from each of the four groups. The PDF has all 50.
Midjourney prompts: Rainy neon alley
Copy prompt
a narrow alley in a rainy city at night, neon signs reflecting in puddles, a lone figure with a clear umbrella, cinematic wide shot, moody teal and magenta light --ar 16:9 --style raw
Tip: Add --style raw when you want less of the default polished look.
Stable Diffusion prompts: Photoreal portrait
Copy prompt
portrait photo of a young woman in a knitted sweater by a window, soft natural light, detailed skin texture, 50mm, f/1.8, shallow depth of field
Negative prompt: blurry, deformed hands, extra fingers, plastic skin, oversaturated
Tip: Keep the negative prompt short. Long negative lists can flatten the image.
Nano Banana prompts: Change the background
Copy prompt
Keep the person exactly as they are. Replace the background with a quiet beach at sunset. Match the lighting on the person to the warm sunset light.
Tip: Always say what must stay the same before saying what to change.
Image to video prompts: Slow push-in
Copy prompt
Slow camera push-in toward the subject. Hair and clothes move gently in a light breeze. Soft natural light. Calm mood. 5 seconds.
Tip: Start with one camera move. Two or three at once usually look chaotic.

Prompt pack FAQ
Is the prompt pack really free?
Yes, it costs nothing. You get the PDF by joining the free weekly AI insights newsletter: enter your email and the download page opens right after you subscribe. You can unsubscribe any time and keep the PDF.
What's in the AI image prompt pack?
50 prompts in four groups: 15 for Midjourney, 15 for Stable Diffusion with negative prompts, 10 Nano Banana edit instructions, and 10 image to video motion prompts. Each one has a short tip explaining why it works or how to change it. Four of them are shown on this page as a preview.
Do the prompts work in other AI image generators?
Mostly, yes. The Midjourney ones use parameters like --ar and --no that only Midjourney understands, so delete those for other tools. Results differ between models and versions, so treat every prompt as a starting point.
What will the newsletter send me?
The Era of Minds newsletter: one email a week with AI news and insights. It is not a prompt-tips list, and it won't send you more prompt packs. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
Can I use these prompts for commercial work?
Yes. Use the prompts for personal or client projects. Please don't resell the pack itself. Also check the terms of the image tool you use.
How do I get the prompt from an image I already like?
Upload it to the free image to prompt tool on reprompt.org. It returns a text prompt and a JSON prompt you can edit, just like the ones in this pack.
