Why Your AI Images Look Fake (and How to Fix It)

Hey 'there',

Most beginners type a few random words into MidJourney…
and then wonder why their results look cartoonish or fake.

Here’s the truth:
It’s not about adding more words.
It’s about adding the right structure.

Think:

• Lighting

• Lens choice

• Skin + fabric texture

These are the details that turn “AI-looking” into photographic realism.

Example: Football

❌ Random Prompt (looks fake):
“football player running on a field”

✅ Structured Prompt (looks real):
“Close-up of a football player sprinting across a grassy field, muscular arms tense with motion. Shot on a 200mm telephoto lens, background slightly blurred for cinematic depth. Sweat beads glisten on his skin texture under harsh stadium floodlights. Jersey fabric shows detailed mesh texture, dirt stains visible from contact. The grass has sharp individual blades, slightly damp with shine. Subtle motion blur on legs, high-contrast lighting adds drama, faint grain for real sports photography feel.”

See the difference?
The first one is just a random looking image with distorted face, hands and other errors.
The second feels like a photo pulled from ESPN.

Once you know this framework, your AI art stops looking like experiments…
and starts looking like reality.
