Fashion & Editorial Photography SREF Codes

High-end fashion and editorial photography SREF codes for Midjourney including runway, beauty, and magazine-style imagery.

Fashion and editorial SREF codes specialize in high-end photography aesthetics used in magazines, advertising, and fashion campaigns. These codes understand dramatic lighting, sophisticated composition, and the elevated production values of commercial fashion photography.

Quick Start:

Use --sref 662073165 --sw 130 for fashion editorial looks, or --sref 3199369175 --sw 120 for refined botanical editorial style.

Important:

Fashion codes work best when you focus on the subject, pose, and clothing. Don't add style descriptions like "editorial" or "fashion photography" - the SREF handles that automatically.

3

4

Adjust Style Weight

Fashion codes often need higher weights:

  • Start with --sw 130
  • Increase to 150-170 for stronger effect
  • Use 300+ for ultra-glamorous looks

Fashion Lighting Techniques

Fashion photography uses dramatic, directional lighting. Here's how to specify it:

Dramatic Side Lighting

model in designer outfit, strong side lighting --sref 662073165 --sw 140

Pro Tip:

Side lighting creates drama and dimension, perfect for fashion editorials. It emphasizes texture in fabrics and creates strong visual impact.

Beauty Lighting

beauty portrait, soft butterfly lighting --sref 618637360 --sw 130

Rim Lighting

fashion portrait with rim lighting from behind --sref 662073165 --sw 150

Lighting Combinations:

Fashion often uses multiple light sources. Try: "key light from left, rim light from behind" for professional results.

Camera & Lens Specifications

Fashion photography typically uses medium format cameras and specific lenses:

Editorial Fashion

model, shot on Hasselblad H6D, 80mm f/2.8 lens --sref 662073165 --sw 140

Medium Format:

Medium format cameras (Hasselblad, Phase One) are industry standard for fashion. They provide exceptional detail and color accuracy.

Beauty Close-ups

Full-Length Fashion

full-length fashion, shot on 70mm f/2.8 lens --sref 662073165 --sw 140

Composition & Poses

Fashion photography has specific composition rules:

Pose Keywords:

  • "confident stance"
  • "dynamic pose"
  • "flowing movement"
  • "hand on hip"
  • "looking over shoulder"

Framing:

  • "full-length shot"
  • "three-quarter length"
  • "close-up beauty shot"
  • "negative space composition"

Movement Creates Interest:

Fashion photography loves movement: "fabric flowing", "hair movement", "walking pose" all add dynamism to your images.

Styling Details to Include

Clothing Details:

model in silk evening gown, dramatic draping --sref 662073165 --sw 140

Accessories:

fashion portrait with statement jewelry --sref 3199369175 --sw 120

Makeup & Hair:

beauty portrait with bold makeup, sleek hair --sref 618637360 --sw 130

Specificity Helps:

The more specific you are about styling details, the better. "Red silk dress with flowing sleeves" is better than just "dress".

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Specify Pose and Lighting

model in evening wear, confident pose, dramatic lighting --sref 662073165

Focus on Clothing and Styling

silk evening gown with dramatic draping --sref 662073165

Add Movement and Energy

model walking, fabric flowing, dynamic pose --sref 662073165

Note:

Fashion codes work best when you describe the action, pose, clothing, and lighting - not the photographic style.

Style Weight Guide for Fashion

RangeEffectBest For
100-120Subtle editorialNatural fashion, lifestyle
120-150Standard fashionMagazine editorials, e-commerce
150-180Strong fashionHigh-end campaigns, luxury
180-300+Ultra-glamorousAvant-garde, artistic fashion

Note:

Fashion codes generally need higher --sw values than portrait codes. Start at 130 instead of 120.

Combining Fashion Codes

Mix codes for unique hybrid styles:

fashion portrait --sref 662073165::2 3199369175::1 --sw 135

This combines dramatic editorial (2 parts) with refined botanical elegance (1 part).

Creative Mixing:

Try combining fashion codes with beauty codes for unique looks:

  • 662073165 + 618637360 = Dramatic fashion with colorful beauty lighting
  • 3199369175 + 1619212211 = Refined botanical with pastel summer tones

Note:

When combining fashion codes, they can be quite strong. Start with --sw 120-140 to prevent over-stylization.

Background & Location Tips

Fashion photography uses specific background treatments:

Studio Backgrounds

model on white seamless background --sref 662073165 --sw 140

Location Shoots

fashion portrait in urban environment, architectural background --sref 662073165 --sw 135

Minimal Backgrounds

model against solid color backdrop --sref 3199369175 --sw 120

Background Matters:

Fashion codes understand professional background treatments. Specify "seamless background", "textured backdrop", or location details for best results.
