Art Style Type Style Characteristics Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords Recommended Application Scenarios

Art Style Type

This SREF style blends Neo-expressionism with Digital Hyperrealism. It features dramatic cinematic lighting with high color saturation, creating an almost dreamlike yet tangible quality. The style reinterprets reality through a special filter, preserving the basic forms of objects while endowing them with an artistic quality that transcends the ordinary.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is their emotionally charged lighting and dramatic color contrasts. Each image balances warm orange-red tones with cooler colors, creating a nostalgic yet slightly sci-fi atmosphere. The light treatment resembles golden hour sunlight, giving ordinary scenes a distinctly cinematic feel. The images also have a slight textural grain and soft edges, adding a unique aesthetic that sits between vintage photography and digital art.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

Cinematic lighting: Enhances dramatic light and shadow effects, giving the image the visual impact of a film scene
Warm color filter: Reinforces the orange-red warm undertones, creating a more nostalgic and intimate emotional atmosphere
Dreamlike glow: Adds soft luminous edges, enhancing the surreal quality and giving the image a dreamlike visual effect

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for emotional advertising photography, music album covers, sci-fi or nostalgia-themed visual novel illustrations, movie poster designs, and any visual media that needs to create a strong emotional atmosphere. It's also excellent for surreal interpretations of everyday scenes, making ordinary things appear extraordinarily artistic.

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.
