Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of cinematic mood photography, cyberpunk, and retro-futurism. It showcases a nostalgic yet futuristic aesthetic, like a mix between 90s sci-fi films and modern photography. The color treatment has a film-like quality, presenting a specific color range and grain that makes the images feel both historical and contemporary.

Style Characteristics

The most striking characteristic of this style is its strong sense of atmosphere and emotional expression. The images generally use low-saturation but high-contrast color tones, creating a dreamlike yet melancholic mood. The lighting is dramatically handled, with strong light source contrasts that enhance the sense of depth and mystery. The images feature a fine film grain texture, and this subtle noise adds a sense of nostalgia. The overall effect is impressive because it evokes a feeling that's both familiar and strange, like an intersection of memory and future.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Film grain texture: Adding this word can reinforce the delicate grain and unique color processing in the images, making them more cinematic
  • Atmospheric lighting: Using this can enhance the dramatic light and shadow effects in the images, creating a more immersive emotional experience
  • Nostalgic futurism: Adding this element can balance the vintage and futuristic aspects in the images, creating a visual tension of temporal displacement

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for music album cover design, fashion magazine photography, movie posters, atmospheric game visual design, and any creative project that requires a strong emotional mood. It's also perfect for narrative illustrations, especially those exploring themes of nostalgia, memory, future, or urban life.

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
