Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dreamy realism with cinematic nostalgic photography. It features the texture and tones of film photography while incorporating surrealistic elements, making the images feel both familiar and strange. This style combines the warmth and haziness of vintage photography with surreal, dreamlike scenes to create an emotionally rich visual experience.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of these images are their strong cinematic quality and emotional expression. The color palette tends to be dark yet warm, with noticeable grain and soft light halos that mimic old film cameras. The images typically have a dreamlike quality with slightly blurred edges, enhancing the ethereal feel and nostalgic mood. The contrast between light and shadow is dramatic, using lighting to create theatrical atmospheres while maintaining a sense of mystery and emotional depth. This style is impressive because it evokes an indefinable nostalgia and emotional resonance, as if telling an emotional story with surreal elements.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic Film: Pairing with this word enhances the grainy texture and vintage film tones, giving images a more cinematic atmosphere and narrative quality
  • Soft Focus Glow: Using this word can reinforce the hazy, dreamlike lighting treatment, adding emotional layers and mystique
  • Dark Contrast: Adding this element improves the dramatic tension and depth of the images, highlighting emotional themes while maintaining mystery

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for emotional narrative creations such as movie posters, music album covers, literary work illustrations, and advertising photography aiming to evoke emotional resonance. It works excellently for artistic projects representing dreams, memories, or psychological states, as well as creative projects requiring a vintage atmosphere or surreal quality. This style also works well for social media visual design centered around emotional storytelling.

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
