Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of vintage photography, nostalgic cinematic aesthetics, and neoclassical portrait artistry. It features distinctive retro tones and atmosphere, combining traditional photographic techniques with contemporary artistic processing to create a texture that exists between reality and art. This style evokes the quality of old film photographs and nostalgic movie film, while simultaneously possessing the refinement of modern artistic portraits.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent shared feature of these images is their warm vintage color palette and soft contrast, creating a sense of nostalgia and emotional depth. The images display carefully calibrated color balance, leaning toward warm browns, beiges, and soft contrasting colors. The light and shadow treatment is remarkably delicate, creating a profound, cinematic atmosphere. Texture representation is extraordinarily rich, giving both urban landscapes and portraits an almost tactile three-dimensionality. What makes this style impressive is how successfully it combines nostalgic feelings with sophisticated artistic processing, creating images that have both emotional warmth and visual impact.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Film grain texture: Adding this word can enhance the granularity and film-like color layering of the image, increasing the vintage atmosphere
  • Soft lighting: Using this can further strengthen the warm, enveloping light and shadow effects in the image, adding emotional depth
  • Artistic portrait: Adding this element will enhance the dramatic composition and expressiveness of the subject, making the image more artistic and narrative

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for emotional marketing campaigns, fashion brand imagery, literary work illustrations, movie posters, vintage-themed photography collections, high-end lifestyle magazine content, nostalgic product promotions, art exhibition publicity, and any visual creation that needs to convey deep emotions and artistic sensibility.

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
