INTRODUCTION

It’s easy to create beautiful images in Midjourney. The real challenge is maintaining consistency. Especially when you want to do a shoot with the same persona, varying outfits, settings, and poses — while keeping traits, style, and identity intact.
If you’ve tried to do this, you know how Midjourney tends to generate similar characters, but never exactly the same. In this article, you will learn how to work around this limitation with strategic commands, controlled variations, and of course, a lot of patience.

It all starts with creating a solid base prompt. Think about expressions, photographic style, lighting, framing, and, above all, detailed descriptions of the character. This is what will ensure the repetition of the same aesthetic in the variations.

After the base prompt, it’s time to use V5.2 or V6 (RAW) with controlled stylize (--style raw --s 50). This reduces the creative interferences of the model, making it follow your command more precisely.

Additionally, avoid multiple characters in the same image. Start with a single, well-defined image, and then use the /describe command or a fixed seed to generate variations of the same scene with subtle changes.

Consistency in prompts

To achieve consistency in shoots with the same persona, use Midjourney V6 or V5.2 with the command --style raw, which reduces stylistic interferences and gives the user more control.
Working with fixed seeds is essential for maintaining the character's traits throughout the variations. You can generate alternative versions from the /describe command or by using --repeat, always keeping the visual structure similar.
To ensure uniformity in poses and angles, add terms like "same pose", "same angle", and "consistent face" in the prompts. Additionally, take advantage of fine control features like pan, zoom, and vary (subtle), which allow for subtle changes without compromising the persona's identity.

Use sites like PromptHero to find styles from real photographers.
Combine Midjourney with Photoshop for minor facial adjustments if necessary.

In the end, the secret is: document the process. Every prompt, every seed, every tested parameter — all of this becomes your guide for future shoots.
Over time, you learn not only to replicate a persona but to bring it to life. And at that moment, your shoot stops being just AI — and becomes art.
