Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of film noir with modern art photography. The strong contrast between orange and black creates dramatic lighting effects, reminiscent of chiaroscuro techniques from Baroque painting but reinterpreted through a modern photographic language. It combines the authenticity of documentary photography with the abstract aesthetics of fine art photography.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is the strong contrast created by golden-orange light against deep black shadows. The light appears in grid or stripe patterns, as if natural light is projecting through blinds or lattices, creating geometric patterns on the subjects. This interplay of light and shadow not only adds mystery but creates an emotional atmosphere, imbuing the scenes with poetry and narrative potential. The light has a warm, amber-like translucency that balances beautifully with the cooler dark areas.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dappled Light: Enhances the geometric patterns formed by light passing through obstacles, adding depth and drama to the composition
  • Golden Hour: Introduces that distinctive amber-orange tone that gives the imagery a warm yet melancholic atmosphere
  • Cinematic Mood: Strengthens the narrative quality and filmic feel, making static images seem to contain compelling stories

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for emotional portrait photography, atmospheric fashion advertising, mystery or nostalgia-themed movie posters, high-end perfume or luxury brand advertisements, emotional music album covers, and any visual design requiring mystery, nostalgia, or dramatic atmosphere. It adds a cinematic quality and storytelling dimension to any work.

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
