Introduction

AI art is revolutionizing digital creativity! Whether you’re a blogger, social media creator, or hobbyist, mastering photo generator prompts unlocks jaw-dropping visuals. As “Sagar with AI,” I’ve tested 100s of prompts to bring you the top 10 most effective ones for tools like Midjourney, DALL-E 3, and Leonardo AI. From Desi culture to sci-fi futures, these prompts blend specificity, style, and storytelling. Let’s dive in!

Why These Prompts Work

Before we start, remember:

  • Specificity > Vagueness (e.g., “cyberpunk Mumbai” beats “future city”).

  • Cultural keywords (e.g., “Phulkari embroidery,” “Mughal architecture”) add uniqueness.

  • Technical terms like “cinematic lighting” or “hyper-detailed” guide AI better.

    Try “oil painting” → “Ukiyo-e print” or “cinematic” → “Van Gogh brushstrokes.”

  3. Tool-Specific Tweaks:

    • Midjourney: Add --weird 100 for surrealism or --sref [URL] for style consistency.

    • DALL-E: Use “detailed matte painting” for fantasy scenes.
