Art Style Type

These images blend elements of Surrealism with vintage photography aesthetics. They exhibit qualities reminiscent of mid-20th century photographic works while incorporating dreamlike surreal compositions that evoke artists like René Magritte. The monochromatic treatment with high contrast presents a nostalgic cinematic feel. This style draws from neoclassical photography and conceptual art techniques, presenting impossible elements in seemingly plausible ways.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics include:

  • Vintage monochrome: Warm sepia tones or classic black and white effects creating a nostalgic atmosphere
  • High contrast: Strong light and shadow dynamics enhancing drama and emotional impact
  • Surreal collage: Seamless combination of unrelated elements creating dreamlike visual impact
  • Refined texture: Subtle grain and vintage effects simulating old film quality
  • Minimalist composition: Clear focal points and streamlined design elements directing visual attention
  • Symbolic expression: Use of visual metaphors and symbolism to convey deeper meaning

This style is impressive because it perfectly balances nostalgia with surreal elements, creating visual experiences that feel both familiar and strange, provoking thought and emotional resonance in viewers.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Film texture: Enhances the grain and vintage atmosphere, adding more charm of old-style photography
  • Surrealism: Strengthens the unusual combinations between different elements, creating more dreamlike and transcendent visual effects
  • High contrast: Further enhances the dramatic tension between light and shadow, giving the images more visual impact and emotional depth

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for:

  • Conceptual art posters and album cover designs
  • Literary work illustrations, especially for poetry collections or surrealist novels
  • Art photography exhibitions and creative advertising campaigns
  • Visual expressions related to philosophy or psychology
  • Independent film promotional materials and art film festival posters
  • High-end fashion photography and brand identity creation

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.
