Art Style Type

This SREF style blends retro cinematic aesthetics, 80s/90s nostalgia, and film photography textures. It presents a deliberately crafted "retrofuturistic" feel that feels like a modern reinterpretation of past eras rather than an authentic period piece. The color treatment and textures are reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino or Wong Kar-wai films, with an intentional dramatic and stylized approach.

Style Characteristics

The primary characteristics of these images include rich vintage color grading with warm tones, noticeable grain, and soft contrast. The images have a slightly faded quality, like photographs that have aged over time. The lighting is distinctive, seemingly always capturing the "golden hour" or dusk, giving scenes a dreamlike atmosphere. Compositions tend to be dramatic, like carefully designed film scenes rather than casual snapshots. This style is impressive because it successfully evokes strong nostalgia while maintaining a contemporary edge.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Film Stock Texture: Enhances the grain and color treatment of the images, giving them more filmic texture and depth
  • Mood Lighting: Strengthens the dramatic light and shadow contrasts in the scenes, creating richer atmosphere and emotional tension
  • Vintage Color Mapping: Further emphasizes that specific retro color treatment, giving images a more unified visual language

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fashion photography and advertising, music album cover design, nostalgic brand campaign materials, independent film posters, retro-styled narrative photography projects, and any visual content that needs to evoke a specific era feeling. It's also excellent for fashion content on social media platforms seeking a distinctive aesthetic.

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
