What is Cinematic Still SREF style

This aesthetic captures a highly evocative, richly saturated visual experience, often associated with fine art photography or film stills. Key features include deep amber and crimson tones, dramatic shadowing, and precise, almost hyper-realistic rendering of subjects and environments. Utilizing this specific style in a Midjourney prompt requires careful attention to lighting keywords like 'rim lighting' or 'golden hour' combined with high detail specifications. This approach produces striking, emotionally resonant images perfect for character studies or atmospheric landscapes, maximizing the visual impact of the generated prompt.

Cinematic Still Prompt Ideas

  • Vast rolling hills reflected in a still lake at dusk, dramatic low sun casting warm orange light on the landscape, old barbed wire fence in the foreground, painterly realism
  • Still life composition of dark glass decanters and bowls of ripe peaches against a stained-glass window, warm ambient light, deep saturation, high contrast
  • An adventurer standing at the edge of a vast, alien desert landscape during the golden hour, cinematic wide shot, heavy contrast and deep reds

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.
