What is Ethereal Cinematic SREF style

This Ethereal Cinematic aesthetic emphasizes dramatic, often high-contrast lighting and a predominantly cool, desaturated color palette featuring deep teals and cyan tones. Images often blend photorealistic details with surreal or dreamlike subject matter, such as floating objects or intense facial close-ups with exaggerated light effects. Mastery of this style in Midjourney requires precise control over light sources, using terms like 'backlit,' 'rim lighting,' or 'harsh shadows.' A successful prompt often combines narrative moodiness with technical camera terminology to achieve this polished, high-fidelity, yet emotionally resonant look.

Ethereal Cinematic Prompt Ideas

  • A derelict suburban street reflected perfectly in dark water, an organic shadow-cloud entity floating above, moody cyan lighting, hyper-detailed
  • Intensely focused portrait of a young woman, striking emerald eyes, powerful halo light shining from behind her head, ethereal bloom, cinematic lighting
  • Close-up of a pale face submerged among white roses, deep shadows cast by venetian blinds across the skin, dramatic moody atmosphere, cool color temperature
  • A lone astronaut standing on a foggy, alien planet surface, lit only by an intense blue moon, sharp focus, cinematic volumetric lighting

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.
