Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of classic cinema photography and vintage film aesthetics, particularly reminiscent of 70s-80s Hollywood film visuals. It presents a "celluloid film" style with distinctive classic film color grading and textures. Rather than being strictly digital rendering, it simulates the look of real camera-shot film with the characteristic color saturation and light treatment of that era.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this style are the perfect balance between realism and nostalgia. Images feature vibrant colors, especially warm tones, with a slightly faded vintage feel while maintaining crisp details. The lighting appears naturally soft with shadows that have depth but aren't overly sharp. This style is impressive because it not only evokes nostalgia for classic cinema but preserves a tangible quality in a digital world, giving images both artistic merit and narrative feeling.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Classic Film Stock: Pairing with this word enhances the vintage film quality, bringing more authentic film grain and color treatment
  • Natural Light Photography: Using this reinforces the natural, soft lighting effects in the image, avoiding an overly digital visual feel
  • Cinematic Scene: Adding this element improves the overall narrative quality and dramatic impact, making images more story-driven and emotionally expressive

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for movie poster design, nostalgic promotional materials, character concept design, film or TV scene recreation, vintage-style product photography, and any visual creation needing to combine modern technology with classic cinematic aesthetics. It's also excellent for projects telling historical stories or paying homage to classic works.

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
