What is Surreal Close-Up Portrait SREF style

This style merges the intimacy of a close-up with the dreamlike logic of surrealism, creating portraits that are both familiar and unsettling. It emphasizes facial features, often exaggerating or transforming them to evoke a deeper psychological or emotional state. When using this style in a Midjourney prompt, you can expect hyper-detailed, often painterly images with dramatic lighting and a mysterious atmosphere. This style is perfect for generating character concepts or fine art pieces that challenge perception and explore the subconscious, pushing the boundaries of conventional portraiture.

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.
