Art Style Type

This SREF style blends cinematic photography, documentary realism, and retro-nostalgic aesthetics. It carries a distinct film-like quality that resembles images captured on vintage film cameras, with high color saturation while maintaining natural lighting effects. The style evokes the feeling of late 70s to 90s cinema and magazine photography, carrying nostalgic emotion while still feeling contemporary.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of these images are the fusion of emotional expression with tangible realism. They all exhibit high contrast, vibrant color saturation, and fine textural details. The lighting is dramatically rendered, whether natural or artificial, creating theatrical effects that make skin, water droplets, and environmental textures appear extremely realistic. The slight grain and film-like quality adds a raw, emotionally intense atmosphere, giving viewers a strong sense of "being in the moment."

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Film Stock: Using this word can further enhance the nostalgic film quality, adding warmth and distinctive grain texture
  • Natural Lighting: Adding this element amplifies the authenticity and dramatic quality of light in the images, making them more vibrant and powerful
  • Emotional Close-up: Using this term can intensify the emotional expression in the images, making the work more impactful and affecting

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fashion photography, music album covers, movie promotional posters, brand image advertising, and any visual project that needs to convey strong emotions and authenticity. It's also excellent for visual storytelling of personal narratives, youth culture-related projects, and creative work aiming to evoke nostalgia while maintaining a contemporary feel.

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.
