What is Shadow Intensity SREF style

This style captures the dramatic, high-contrast mood of classic film, often employing low-key lighting and deep shadows. Images generated in this manner feature rich, saturated colors (like the deep reds and indigos seen here) set against near-total darkness, creating intense focal points. In **Midjourney**, utilizing cinematic cues ensures high production value, sharp focus, and intentional composition that guides the viewer's eye. To master this aesthetic in a **prompt**, focus on specifying lighting techniques (like volumetric light or rim lighting) and a dominant color grade to achieve this premium, evocative visual quality.

Shadow Intensity Prompt Ideas

  • Profile portrait of a sculpted figure viewed through a mesh screen, illuminated by harsh magenta light, hyperdetailed texture, cinematic still life
  • Still life composition of cut ruby crystals and dark glassware on a reflective black surface, deep shadows, dramatic volumetric lighting, moody atmosphere
  • An ornate, metallic landscape reflecting deep purple light, surrounded by glowing red crystalline formations, highly detailed, ethereal glow
  • Close-up of a face textural rendering emphasizing woven fabric and subsurface scattering, illuminated by sharp rim lighting, dark background, cinematic portrait

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.
