What is James Wan Midjourney Prompt

James Wan is a style that channels the atmospheric horror and suspense of the acclaimed film director. Known for franchises like 'The Conjuring' and 'Insidious,' his aesthetic is defined by masterful use of shadow, high-contrast lighting, and a palpable sense of dread. In Midjourney, applying this style to your prompt will generate images with a distinct cinematic and eerie quality. It excels at creating suspenseful scenes, haunted environments, and portraits where the unseen is as terrifying as what is shown. This style is perfect for users aiming to capture the chilling elegance of modern supernatural horror.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
