What is Silhouette SREF style

This distinctive visual approach emphasizes form and shape through dramatic contrast, utilizing deep blacks against stark whites, often omitting mid-tones entirely. The resulting imagery creates powerful silhouettes, where subjects are defined purely by their outline or extreme shadow play, much like in graphic design or specific photographic techniques. When generating images in **Midjourney**, employing this **style** requires careful **prompt** engineering focusing on lighting (e.g., strong backlighting or high-key settings) and absolute color constraints to achieve this striking, minimalist aesthetic. It results in timeless, impactful compositions focused on fundamental shape recognition.

Silhouette Prompt Ideas

  • Dramatic profile portrait of a young woman with curly hair, ultra high contrast black and white photography, strong rim lighting creating a perfect silhouette against a bright white background
  • Desolate landscape featuring a windswept tree and boulders, rendered only in deep black shapes against a stark white sky, minimalist composition
  • Still life of antique bottles and citrus fruit on a windowsill, extreme backlighting creating solid black shapes, cinematic black and white
  • Abstract representation of an eagle taking flight, rendered purely as a graphic black silhouette on a white canvas, sharp focus

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.
