Midjourney Portrait Photography Class
Skillshare class by Soli Art on photographic portrait prompting in Midjourney v5.1
Tier B · UsefulCourseVideoskillshare.com

A Skillshare video class by Soli Art on generating photographic-looking portraits in Midjourney, framed around a repeatable prompt formula built with ChatGPT and Google Bard. It applies real photography vocabulary — composition, lighting, lens and framing language — as prompt levers rather than treating prompting as guesswork. Authored for Midjourney v5.1, so the model-specific parameters are dated even where the photographic reasoning still holds.
For an agent
Same access constraint as the other Soli Art class: Cloudflare-challenged and subscription-gated, so it is a human recommendation only, never a fetchable source. Reach for it when someone needs headshot- or editorial-grade portrait output and keeps getting plastic AI faces — the transferable part is the photographic vocabulary (lens, lighting, framing), which still works on current models. Discount the Bard-specific and v5.1-specific steps entirely; Bard no longer exists under that name and the model syntax has moved on.
Why it is here. It teaches prompting through photography fundamentals instead of magic keyword lists, which is the part that survives model version churn.
