Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of cinematic photography, new realism, and atmospheric photography. It demonstrates highly dramatic visual effects similar to those found in film photography while maintaining a sharp focus on realistic details, making scenes and subjects appear both real and dreamlike. This style creates visual impact beyond ordinary photography through meticulous light handling and color saturation.

Style Characteristics

The common style characteristics across these images include:

  • Strong light and shadow contrast, creating dramatic atmosphere and depth
  • Rich, saturated color processing with specific color tendencies (notable cyan and orange contrasts)
  • Detailed texture rendering, whether it's water droplets, skin textures, or food surfaces
  • Shallow depth of field effects, with clear subjects and blurred backgrounds to guide the viewer's eye
  • Motion blur and light flare effects that enhance the cinematic feel and emotional expression
  • Subtle light diffusion and reflections that add atmosphere and depth

This style is impressive because it presents the real world with more dramatic impact and emotional tension than reality, while maintaining a high degree of authenticity, creating a "hyper-real yet believable" visual experience.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic photography: Enhances the narrative feel and dramatic lighting, making images more story-driven and emotionally rich
  • Portrait ambient lighting: Strengthens natural yet refined lighting effects, creating more harmonious relationships between subjects and their environments
  • Macro detail: Elevates the presentation of textural details, enhancing the visual expression of texture and tactile qualities
  • Motion blur: Adds dynamism and a sense of speed, bringing more life and fluidity to static images

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for:

  • High-end advertising photography and product displays, especially for food, beverages, and cosmetics
  • Fashion magazine spreads and portrait photography that emphasize mood and atmosphere
  • Movie posters and promotional materials that convey strong visual impact
  • Narrative illustrations and concept art for stories with emotional depth
  • Visual identity systems for premium brands that communicate refinement and high quality

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

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.
