Art Style Type

This SREF style primarily blends cinematic photography aesthetics and contemporary portrait photography. It draws from the texture and color grading techniques of film photography while incorporating the sophisticated lighting and atmosphere creation found in modern fashion photography. It belongs to these style categories because it exhibits the characteristic grain texture of film, natural color transitions, and cinema-level lighting control techniques.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristic of this SREF is creating a warm and emotionally rich visual atmosphere. It utilizes soft natural lighting to create rich contrasts between light and shadow with delicate tonal transitions. The color palette leans toward warm orange-yellow tones, evoking a nostalgic and comfortable feeling. The overall image has the soft texture characteristic of film photography, perfectly balancing clarity and artistic expression without being overly sharp or blurry. This style is impressive because it instantly evokes emotional resonance in viewers, creating an intimate and story-rich visual experience.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • golden hour: Further enhances the warm natural lighting effects, making the image more cinematic and romantically atmospheric
  • soft focus: Increases the gentle texture of the image, making the overall visual effect more dreamy and poetic
  • cinematic lighting: Helps elevate the depth and drama of light and shadow, bringing professional photographic artistic quality to the work

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for portrait photography portfolios, lifestyle brand visual design, literary book covers, promotional materials for cafes or boutique accommodations, and social media content requiring a cozy atmosphere. It's also well-suited for movie poster design, especially for art films, romance movies, or life drama genres.

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
