To highlight the unique advantages and features of the style, we have carefully crafted custom prompts for each sref. By using these prompts, you can perfectly replicate the sref's effects.

Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of retro montage, surrealism, and visual storytelling collage art. It combines classic photography with modern digital collage techniques, creating a visual experience that feels both nostalgic and cutting-edge through the division and recombination of images. The style evokes the experimental photography of the mid-20th century and modern art gallery exhibitions, but reimagined through digital technology.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this style include image fragmentation and reconstruction, creating visual tension and depth by cutting photos into geometric shapes and rearranging them. The color palette leans toward vintage and cinematic, often mixing blue-green tones with monochromatic grayscales. The edges are intentionally preserved with a certain roughness, creating a handcrafted artistic quality. What's most impressive is how it seamlessly blends reality with surreal elements to create scenes that feel both dreamlike and familiar.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Film grain texture: Adding this element enhances the vintage atmosphere, increasing the emotional depth and historical feel of the images
  • Geometric fragmentation: Using this reinforces the visual impact in the composition, creating more pronounced spatial layers and sense of order
  • Light halo effects: Pairing with this word can add a dreamlike and surreal atmosphere to the images, enhancing the overall artistic expression and sense of mystery

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for concept album cover designs, literary magazine illustrations, experimental short film posters, modern art exhibition promotional materials, high-end fashion brand visual marketing, and narrative photography projects that aim to convey depth and complex emotions. It adds artistic flair and intellectual depth to creative projects.

More Tips


You can explore further by combining the following command:

  • --sv: There are six versions of the Style Reference feature in Midjourney version 7 when using images. Use the --sv parameter to choose between them. --sv 6 is default. --sv 4 is the old V7 sref model (prior to June 16, 2025). Using --sv 6 and --sv 4 may produce different style results.
  • --s: Default value is 100, can be set from 0 to 1000. The higher the value, the more detailed the image, and the closer the style may be to reality.
  • -niji 6: Using this command will give the image a more anime style.
  • --sw: Default value is 100, can be input from 0 to 1000. A higher value makes the style closer to the original.
  • You can now blend multiple --sref codes together (for example --sref 123 456 )
  • You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows --sref 123::2
