What is Photorealistic SREF style

This aesthetic emphasizes extreme detail, accurate lighting simulation, and tangible material textures, aiming to mimic high-end professional photography or cinematic stills. When using this style in a Midjourney prompt, focus on specific camera terminology (lens type, aperture, film stock) to achieve results that look nearly indistinguishable from reality. It excels in subjects like expansive landscapes and detailed portraits where capturing fine elements like skin pores or geological erosion is critical. Mastering this prompt technique allows users to generate incredibly believable and high-fidelity digital imagery suitable for commercial quality work.

Photorealistic Prompt Ideas

  • A stoic ancient warrior standing in a neon-drenched Tokyo alleyway, cinematic shot, depth of field
  • Close-up macro photography of a dewdrop reflecting a vast mountain range, hyperrealistic, sharp focus
  • A whimsical miniature scene of tiny felt animals having a tea party in a mossy forest, highly detailed textures, soft natural lighting
  • Photorealistic portrait of an elderly fisherman on a wooden pier, weathered skin, dramatic rim 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.
