Tips for using Midjourney for product photography
Lead with the subject, then style, then lighting, then camera details
Always end with aspect ratio (--ar) and version (--v 6) parameters
Use specific camera terminology: '50mm lens', 'f/2.8', 'shallow depth of field'
Reference lighting direction: 'side lighting', 'backlit', 'golden hour'
For consistency, save successful prompts and tweak only the product name
