I have a Midjourney prompt that I like, but I want to explore different artistic directions with the same core subject. Take my base prompt and create 5 distinct variations, each with a dramatically different visual style.

My base prompt or concept: [paste your existing Midjourney prompt OR describe what you want to depict]

For each variation, create a complete Midjourney prompt that reimagines the subject in a different style:

1. **Photorealistic** — As if captured by a professional photographer with specific camera/lens
2. **Classic fine art** — In the style of a specific art movement (Impressionism, Art Nouveau, Baroque, etc.)
3. **Modern illustration** — Contemporary digital art, concept art, or graphic novel style
4. **Minimalist/abstract** — Reduced to essential forms, shapes, and limited color palette
5. **Cinematic** — As a still frame from a specific film genre (noir, Wes Anderson, Blade Runner, Ghibli, etc.)

For each variation include:
- Complete rewritten prompt (not just style tags appended)
- Appropriate --ar for the style
- Suitable --v, --style, and --s values
- --no exclusions specific to that style
- A one-line note explaining why that style works for this subject
