Art Style Type

This SREF style blends cinematic realism with elements of neo-romanticism and baroque-inspired lighting. It incorporates the dramatic quality of classical paintings with modern photographic techniques, creating a style that feels both timeless and contemporary. There's a subtle surrealist quality in how ordinary subjects are transformed into extraordinary scenes through careful manipulation of light, texture, and mood.

Style Characteristics

The shared characteristics across these images include exceptional detail rendering and rich textures, where every element is given meticulous definition. The lighting is highly dramatic, creating strong contrasts between light and shadow that establish powerful emotional atmospheres. The color palette tends toward natural tones but with a mysterious quality, often employing contrasts between warm and cool to emphasize subjects. The overall composition has a cinematic depth and framing, as if each image captures a moment from a larger narrative.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic lighting: Adding this keyword can further enhance the dramatic light effects in the image, giving works a more filmic quality and emotional depth
  • Hyper-detailed textures: Using this term can make the various materials in the image appear more tangible and realistic, enhancing the viewer's sense of immersion
  • Mythological atmosphere: Incorporating this element elevates the narrative quality and symbolic meaning of the work, creating an aesthetic experience that exists between reality and fantasy

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for high-end brand visual marketing, concept art design, fantasy literature illustrations, movie posters, music album covers, and artistic projects that require creating deep emotions or mysterious atmospheres. It's also excellent for depicting subjects with historical or mythological themes, giving traditional subjects a modern artistic expression.

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
