Art Style Type

This SREF style blends cinematic photography aesthetics with retro-futurism. It presents composition and color treatment similar to Wes Anderson films, combined with the texture of 70s science fiction cinema. The meticulously curated tones and compositions reflect the influence of neo-retro style, perfectly merging nostalgic elements with modern technology.

Style Characteristics

These images display a distinctive cinematic atmosphere, particularly through:

  • Soft yet saturated color palette with contrasts between warm and cool tones
  • Delicate and precise light treatment creating dramatic atmospheres
  • Smooth, refined textures and surface treatments
  • Fusion of nostalgic retro aesthetics with futuristic elements
  • Careful placement and composition of objects and figures

This style is impressive because it carries strong artistic expressiveness while evoking an emotion that feels both familiar and strange, like being in a film scene from another time and space.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic quality: Adding this word enhances the film-like lighting and composition, bringing more professional cinematographic aesthetics to the image
  • Vintage tones: Using this can reinforce the nostalgic feel, bringing a warm and slightly grainy visual texture
  • Refined details: Adding this element improves the expression of minute details in the image, making the whole more meticulously crafted

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fashion photography, brand advertising, movie posters, retro sci-fi themed games or film productions, high-end product displays, and any project requiring visual effects that are both nostalgic and modern. It brings a unique visual language to commercial and art photography, especially ideal for creations that aim to evoke a "period feel" without sacrificing modern sophistication.

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
