Top 10 Midjourney v6.1 Commercial Prompt Templates
Midjourney v6.1 raised the bar for AI image generation — better prompt adherence, more natural lighting, and finer control over composition. But great outputs still start with great prompts. Below are 10 production-tested templates covering product photography, architecture visualization, UI/UX mockups, and more. Each template includes the exact prompt text, parameter breakdown, and practical use cases. Save them directly into your PromptShifu Library for one-click reuse.
Use for: E-commerce product listings, DTC brand hero images, Kickstarter campaign assets. Replace [product] with your item and adjust --ar per platform (1:1 for Instagram grid, 4:5 for feed, 16:9 for hero banners).
Use for: Beverage branding, menu design, bar/restaurant social media. The golden-hour lighting adds warmth that converts well in ads. Swap [drink] and [garnish] per shoot.
Use for: Architectural portfolio pieces, real estate marketing, competition boards. [building type]: villa, tower, museum, office. [material]: glass, concrete, timber, steel. --style raw keeps lines crisp for architectural accuracy.
Use for: Interior design proposals, furniture brand catalogs, Airbnb listing optimization. Dial --s up to 500 for more stylized results; keep at 200–300 for client-presentable accuracy.
Use for: App pitch decks, client concept presentations, portfolio pieces. Fill [app category]: fitness, finance, social, e-commerce. Keep --s low (100–200) for cleaner UI lines.
Use for: SaaS landing pages, investor pitch decks, product demo videos. [metric type]: revenue, user growth, churn, engagement. [primary color]: indigo, teal, or your brand hex.
Use for: Branding proposals, client mood boards, design inspiration. [brand personality]: bold, elegant, playful, trustworthy. This template works best when you define a clear personality adjective.
Use for: Restaurant menus, food delivery app imagery, culinary blog posts. The moody/dramatic lighting style photographs well for high-end dining. Use 1:1 for Instagram; switch to 3:2 for menu layouts.
Use for: Fashion brand lookbooks, e-commerce category pages, social media campaigns. [setting/environment]: urban rooftop, minimalist studio, botanical garden. --ar 2:3 is the standard fashion aspect ratio.
Use for: Game pre-production, film pitch decks, concept art portfolios. --c 30 (chaos) introduces creative variation — great for exploration rounds. Dial --s up to 750+ for highly stylized sci-fi looks.

💡 Pro Workflow Tip: Save each of these 10 templates into your
PromptShifu Library with descriptive tags
(#midjourney #product-photography #template). When you need a shot,
open the side panel, click the template, fill in the bracketed variables, and inject
directly into Midjourney. No copy-paste, no tab-switching, no "where did I save that prompt?"
How to Customize These Templates
Each template uses [bracketed placeholders] you replace with your specifics. Here's a systematic
approach to customization:
Step 1: Choose Your Category
Start with the template closest to your output goal. The 10 templates above span the most common commercial Midjourney use cases. For anything not covered, the product photography (#1–2) and concept art (#10) templates are the most flexible starting points.
Step 2: Replace Variables, Keep the Structure
The descriptive language around the brackets — terms like "professional photography," "8K," "photorealistic," and camera/lens references — are quality anchors. These words consistently push Midjourney toward higher-fidelity outputs. Don't strip them out; just swap the bracketed specifics.
Step 3: Iterate with Parameters
Run with the default parameters first. If the output is too stylized, add --style raw or lower
--s. If you need more creative variety for ideation, raise --c to 30–50.
Use the PromptShifu Generator to build parameter combinations visually
before you type.
