Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of film noir and neo-realism, featuring dramatic contrast and atmospheric quality. It adopts the aesthetics of modern cinematography, particularly that high-quality cinematic visual presentation reminiscent of carefully crafted movie scenes or high-end fashion photography. The dark tones and strong chiaroscuro contrast evoke the visual language of neo-noir cinema while maintaining a contemporary feel with refined detail rendering.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include deep shadows with striking light and dark contrasts, creating a sense of drama and mystery. The color palette leans toward darker tones, predominantly using deep colors, but with precise light sources highlighting key subjects. Texture rendering is exceptionally detailed, with fabrics, skin, and metal surfaces all appearing highly realistic. The composition is meticulously designed, creating an atmosphere of tension, mystery, or contemplation. This style is impressive because it combines powerful artistic expression with a high degree of photorealistic quality, giving each image both artistic merit and strong narrative capability.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic lighting: Pairing with this word enhances the light design in the image, making light transitions more natural and dramatic
  • Mood atmosphere: Using this can strengthen the emotional expression in the work, making it easier for viewers to feel the emotions and ambiance conveyed by the image
  • Detailed textures: Adding this element improves the realism of surface details, making the image more three-dimensional and rich, enhancing the overall quality feel

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for movie poster design, high-end fashion advertising photography, promotional materials for suspense or drama content, character concept design, game narrative scene rendering, and any creative scenario requiring strong emotional atmosphere and dramatic visual effects. It's also excellent for illustrative works that express inner emotions and storytelling through characters.

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
