Art Style Type

These images blend neo-photography with cinematic aesthetics. They incorporate elements of mood photography and atmospheric art, creating poetic visual effects through sophisticated light manipulation and tonal control.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent feature is the masterful handling of light and shadow, presenting soft yet layered contrast. The color palette leans warm while maintaining a reserved undertone. Depth of field is emphasized, combining sharp and soft focus to create dreamlike imagery.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic lighting: Enhances dramatic lighting effects and cinematic quality
  • Golden hour: Adds warm, soft natural light effects and improves image texture
  • Moody atmosphere: Strengthens atmospheric qualities and deepens emotional expression

Recommended Application Scenarios

Particularly suitable for emotional photography, movie poster design, artistic advertising photography, and commercial photography projects requiring specific mood settings.

More Prompt Tips & Tricks


You can explore further by combining the following prompt command for MidJourney:

  • --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
  • You can also read more guides on How to use SREF Code

This website stands out as one of the pioneering libraries I discovered in my AI art journey. What truly sets it apart is its comprehensive offering: not just unique style codes, but also intricate blends and full prompts. The inclusion of complete prompts is particularly valuable, as it's an artistic choice that many creators hesitate to share openly.

As a beginner in MidJourney, I struggled to create the style of images I envisioned and felt lost with keyword usage. This led me to create this website for sref codes and examples with prompts, aimed at helping newcomers easily generate high-quality images and find joy in their creative process.

There are many Midjourney Sref galleries online, but promptsref.com is my go-to resource. If you're looking for a comprehensive collection of Midjourney Srefs, this is the only website you need.
