Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of new realism with romanticism, featuring a distinct cinematic quality. It presents a delicately realistic yet slightly dreamlike aesthetic, similar to high-quality film shots or carefully crafted digital paintings. The style maintains the precision and detail of realism while adding artistic beauty through soft tones and thoughtful light and shadow treatment.

Style Characteristics

The common style characteristics across these images include:

  • Soft, layered light and shadow treatment creating a calm yet profound atmosphere
  • Warm, low-saturation color schemes that produce a nostalgic, composed visual effect
  • Fine textures and detailed representation, especially in skin, fur, and natural elements
  • Natural, fluid depth of field that harmoniously unifies subjects with backgrounds
  • Unified color tones with a subtle vintage filter effect, creating a cinematic narrative atmosphere

This style is impressive because it successfully balances realism with artistry, avoiding both the stiffness of photographic reality and the excessive stylization of illustration, finding instead an elegant equilibrium between the two.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic quality: Enhances the narrative quality and film-like feel, giving the image more storytelling power and emotional depth
  • Soft lighting: Strengthens the warm, gentle light effects in the image, creating a more serene and peaceful atmosphere
  • Vintage color grading: Further enhances the nostalgic color treatment, making the overall style more unified and emotionally resonant
  • Textural detail: Elevates the fine quality feel in the work, making the image richer and more believably authentic

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for:

  • Character and scene illustrations for literary works or novels
  • High-quality brand image photography and advertising creations
  • Movie posters and promotional material design
  • Art style for emotional narrative games
  • Content creation requiring expressions of nostalgia, warmth, or emotional depth
  • Illustrations for high-end fashion and lifestyle magazines

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
