Midjourney prompts for product photography

Here are some of the most popular Midjourney prompts for product photography shared and curated on web in recent weeks (sorted by engagement levels like likes and reposts). I’ve focused on those explicitly tied to product shots, including templates and examples from high-engagement posts. These are often used for commercial, advertising, or conceptual visuals.

Enhancing the prompts

Below are the best Midjourney photographic prompts for realistic images. I’ve enhanced the original Midjourney Photographic prompts by incorporating recent trends and variations from web and social media. These enhancements include adding more detailed lighting, material realism, environmental contexts, and stylistic parameters like –sref codes, –v 7 for Midjourney V7, and motion blur effects for dynamism.

I’ve drawn from high-engagement shares to make them more versatile for commercial use, such as luxury branding, e-commerce, or editorial shots. For each enhanced prompt, I’ve added the best possible scenarios as selectable options. These scenarios provide tailored variations (e.g., different environments or moods) to fit specific product types or vibes. Select an option by replying with the prompt number and scenario letter (e.g., “1A” for Floating Product Template, Scenario A) Let me know, and we togther can then generate or refine further based on your choice!
