Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of surrealism, postmodern photography, and contemporary art installations. It presents a mixture of vintage film aesthetics with experimental art, creating a dreamlike yet slightly unsettling atmosphere. By blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction, it creates a visual experience that feels both familiar and strange, like scenes from an art house film.

Style Characteristics

These images present a highly artistic and somewhat melancholic aesthetic. Key characteristics include soft yet striking color contrasts (particularly red lips against pale skin), intentionally obscured compositions, smudged black brushstrokes, and a slightly aged film quality. The overall effect is impressive because it creates an atmosphere that exists between reality and fantasy, capturing moments from a world that feels half-remembered and half-dreamed.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Film Grain Texture: Adding this element enhances the vintage feel and artistic atmosphere, giving the images a visual language with more depth and emotion
  • Ink Smudges: Using this technique reinforces the abstract elements in the images, adding a sense of artistic fluidity and emotional expression
  • High Contrast Lighting: Adding this quality increases the dramatic and mysterious nature of the scenes, making the overall visual impact more striking and tension-filled

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for avant-garde fashion photography, independent music album covers, key frames for experimental short films, promotional materials for high-end fashion brands, visual identity for contemporary art exhibitions, and any visual project that needs to convey deep emotions and artistic sensibility.

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
