Art Style Type

This SREF style blends minimalism with new black and white photography aesthetics, carrying a sense of Nordic design simplicity. It employs high-contrast monochromatic processing to present a modern and elegant visual language. It belongs to minimalism because it eliminates the distraction of color to focus purely on form, line, and texture; while its Nordic design quality is evident in the emphasis on simplicity and functionality.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristic of these images is the highly unified black and white tonality that completely eliminates color elements, creating a deep, elegant atmosphere with a cinematic feel. The images feature strong contrast with layered transitions between black and white, including both soft grayscale gradients and defined linear boundaries. This style impresses because it creates visual impact through subtraction rather than addition, expressing complex emotions and textures with the simplest elements.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • High contrast: Adding this word can further strengthen the distinct boundaries between black and white, making the images more dramatic and visually impactful
  • Cinematic: Using this word can reinforce the narrative quality and emotional expression of the work, giving static images a dynamic potential
  • Textural detail: Adding this element improves the material expression, allowing viewers to sense the tactile qualities and weight of objects in the image, enhancing immersion

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for high-end fashion photography, architectural portfolio presentations, modern interior product catalogs, literary book covers, conceptual art exhibition posters, and brand identity designs that emphasize atmosphere. It's also excellent for expressing melancholic, contemplative, or philosophically-themed content.

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

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.
