Nano Banana Cinematic Red-Splash Portrait
This image prompt turns a casual photo into a cinematic black-and-white portrait splashed against deep red.
Use my uploaded photo and keep the face exactly the same, in ultra-sharp 8k detail. Shoot from a low angle for a cinematic feel: he leans casually against a white stone balcony railing, dressed in a dark denim shirt, jeans and aviator sunglasses. Apply a striking colour-splash look — the man himself in crisp black and white, set against one flat, intense deep-red background — lit with hard, high-contrast light and deep, bold shadows.

Nano Banana Red Magazine Poster
A bold image prompt that styles your photo into a red editorial magazine poster.
Turn my photo into a bold editorial magazine-cover poster with a selective-colour effect. Keep the same person: a strong jawline, a confident expression, dark textured hair swept back, a fitted light-coloured shirt, standing in a relaxed contrapposto pose, shot at a slight Dutch angle, gaze directed away from the camera. Place him in full natural colour over a rich deep-red backdrop with a faint vintage halftone-dot texture. Run large, bold beige sans-serif lettering spelling [YOUR NAME] sideways across the red background. Edgy, high-fashion magazine composition, portrait 3:4 format.

Nano Banana Horse Editorial Portrait
This image prompt creates a monochrome fine-art fashion portrait with a black horse.
Create a fine-art fashion photograph: I sit sideways on a simple metal stool, one leg stretched forward and the other bent loosely, body turned in profile, shoulders gently slouched, head bowed in quiet thought, one hand loosely holding thin leather reins between my knees. I wear dark oversized layered clothing, wide-leg trousers with soft folds, rugged leather boots and dark sunglasses. A powerful black horse stands close behind me at a diagonal, partly overlapping the frame, freezing a sense of motion. Behind us, an open wild landscape with dry grass tufts and minimal terrain, the sky blown out to white. Soft highlights, deep shadows, duotone contrast, matte monochrome film texture, cinematic editorial mood, luxury fashion photography, 1080p quality.

Nano Banana SUV Monochrome Editorial
A dramatic image prompt for a monochrome editorial portrait with a black SUV.
Shoot a brutalist fashion editorial: I sit very low on a plain metal stool, legs spread wide with feet firmly planted, one arm hanging between my knees and the other resting heavily on my thigh. Shoulders roll forward, head tilts down, expression serious and inward-looking behind dark sunglasses. I wear heavy oversized dark layers, wide-leg trousers and rugged boots. A large black SUV towers directly behind me, its body overlapping my upper silhouette into one monolithic composition. Around us, empty open land with sparse grass and raw earth, the sky blown out to white. Harsh high-contrast light, matte monochrome tones, strong grain, cinematic medium-format feel, 1080p resolution.

Nano Banana Yellow Utility Poster
This image prompt builds a futuristic yellow utility-jacket poster from your photo.
Use my face reference and keep it 100% identical. A high-resolution futuristic close-up fashion editorial portrait of a young man against a solid bright-yellow background, graded darker and moodier overall — deeper shadows, richer contrast, a dramatic high-fashion atmosphere. Match the reference pose: body turned slightly sideways, chin lifted a touch, shoulders relaxed, a confident, sensual look straight into the lens. He wears an oversized bright-yellow utility jacket with darkened high-contrast details: a black ring on the chest strap, bold number tags on the shoulder and lower front, and a geometric number patch on the sleeve. One side of the jacket slips off his shoulder, showing a black fitted long-sleeve top with a bright yellow number graphic on the arm, finished with subtle orange-white graphic accents. Keep the background vivid yellow, light it darker and more contrasty with soft directional shadows, and keep a large light number visible behind him. Keep all text overlays exactly as in the reference. Style: photorealistic fashion editorial with dark cinematic contrast. Camera: eye-level medium shot, 50mm or 85mm prime, high clarity. Avoid: washed-out colours, clutter, watermarks, blurry face, distorted text, cartoon look.

Nano Banana Burnt-Orange Utility Poster
A moody image prompt for a burnt-orange industrial fashion poster.
Use my face reference and keep it 100% identical. A high-resolution futuristic close-up fashion editorial portrait of a young man against a solid burnt-orange background, with a darker cinematic tone — deep shadows, strong contrast, an industrial-luxury mood. Match the reference pose: body angled slightly sideways, chin subtly lifted, shoulders relaxed, a confident, sensual editorial gaze. He wears an oversized burnt-orange utility jacket with blackened industrial detailing: a matte-black ring on the chest, bold number tags on the shoulder and lower front, and a geometric number patch on the sleeve. One side of the jacket slips off his shoulder, revealing a black fitted long-sleeve top with a vivid orange number graphic on the arm, plus subtle copper-white accent graphics. Keep the background burnt orange, with darker, contrast-heavy lighting and soft directional shadows, and a large light number behind him. Keep all text overlays exactly as in the reference. Style: photorealistic fashion editorial, cinematic contrast. Camera: eye-level medium shot, 50mm or 85mm prime. Avoid: washed-out colours, clutter, watermarks, blurry face, distorted text, cartoon look.

Nano Banana Blue Moody Portrait
This image prompt crafts a moody blue cinematic portrait with a red rim light.
A cinematic portrait of a handsome young man with striking blue eyes and tousled dark-brown hair swept back, one loose strand falling forward. Moody low-key lighting with dramatic contrast: cool blue tones throughout, kissed by a subtle red rim light. Three-quarter profile view, an intense gaze aimed at the camera. He wears a dark, minimalist coat. Shallow depth of field, soft background bokeh, ultra-realistic skin texture. Keep the face 100% the same as the reference person.

Nano Banana Sunlight Wall Portrait
A refined image prompt for a sunlit editorial portrait against a plain wall.
An ultra-realistic portrait of the same person from the reference photo, with the identical face and features preserved — no change in identity. He stands against a plain neutral wall while warm sunlight falls across it in striking geometric shadows. His outfit is a loose, crisp white shirt tucked lightly into relaxed, baggy brown trousers, giving a refined high-fashion editorial feel. Keep the face 100% the same as the reference person.

Nano Banana Vintage Race Car Portrait
This image prompt places you on a vintage race car under a teal-grey sky.
A cinematic low-angle shot of a person with slightly wind-blown hair and a sharp side profile, sitting relaxed on the roof frame of a white vintage sedan race car, gazing off into the distance. He wears the exact same outfit as in the uploaded reference photo, paired with black high-top canvas sneakers. The car carries racing decals and stickers along its side door. Behind him, a dramatic solid teal-grey overcast sky. Streetwear aesthetic, automotive lifestyle photography, soft natural lighting, film grain, high definition. Preserve every facial feature and expression exactly as in the original photo — do not alter identity or proportions. Portrait 3:4 ratio.

Nano Banana Glitch City Poster
A striking image prompt that fuses your profile with a glitchy futuristic city.
A side-profile portrait of the person from the uploaded photo, facing left, fused with abstract futuristic city graphics. A vibrant yellow monochrome background with cyan accents. He wears a jacket, with realistic editorial skin texture. Hair and clothing dissolve into a flat geometric urban collage of vertical glitch lines and architectural overlays. Clean poster composition, sharp edges, minimal depth, high detail.

Prompt 1: Fine Art Fashion Portrait
Create a premium 9:16 vertical photorealistic fine-art fashion portrait of an elegant young beautiful woman with warm peach-toned skin, expressive hazel-brown eyes, softly flushed cheeks, natural rose lips and voluminous short dark-chocolate curls swept asymmetrically across her forehead. Frame her from mid-chest upward, placed slightly right of centre, head gently tilted, shoulders turned three-quarters, with a relaxed, direct gaze. Dress her in a flowing ivory silk blouse patterned with muted ochre and dusty-plum botanicals, paired with ornate silver filigree chandelier earrings with pearl drops. Behind her, set an expressive hand-painted abstract backdrop of textured turquoise, burnt sienna and aged parchment, with confident palette-knife strokes and restrained splashes. Blend realistic photographic skin and hair with painterly surface textures around the frame. Use soft directional studio light, subtle cheekbone highlights, natural shadows, crisp eye focus and a refined 85mm portrait-lens perspective. Keep the composition artful, tactile and uncluttered. Add a small, elegant handwritten "[your name]" signature, naturally integrated near the bottom edge.

Prompt 2: King Kong Human Umbrella Comedy
IMAGE PROMPT, KING KONG'S HUMAN UMBRELLA. PORTRAIT 3:4, SINGLE IMAGE, 8K. Ultra-realistic cinematic photography with raw cinematic realism and absurd comedy: a rural Indonesian village road during a heavy tropical rainstorm, with wet pavement, puddles, traditional houses, lush green trees and light mist in the distance. STRICT HUMAN IDENTITY LOCK: use the provided male reference photo as the primary identity reference, preserving his face, head shape, hairstyle, hairline, skin tone, moustache, beard and body proportions consistently. KING KONG DESIGN LOCK: King Kong is a colossal 18-metre-tall humanoid gorilla with an enormously muscular body, realistic dark brown-black fur, an expressive face and a friendly personality, with the same consistent character design, realistic hand anatomy and exactly five fingers on each hand. MAN'S OUTFIT: a black T-shirt with a clearly visible King Kong graphic on the chest, full-length black trousers reaching the ankles, and white sneakers. MAIN ACTION: King Kong casually walks through the rain, holding his enormous palm above his human best friend's head like a natural umbrella. The man walks underneath it with a relieved smile, believing he is finally protected from the rain, until rainwater collected between King Kong's fingers suddenly pours directly onto his head! His hair and T-shirt become soaked, his eyes widen, his mouth opens in exaggerated frustration, and he raises both hands to protest, while King Kong looks down at his friend with a confused yet amused expression. A giant raindrop splashes beside the man's white sneakers, creating a dramatic burst of water. EXTREME SCALE CONTRAST: King Kong stands 18 metres tall while the man is approximately 165 centimetres tall; King Kong's palm is vastly larger than the man's entire body; raindrops appear large relative to the human while maintaining believable perspective; their size difference must be immediately obvious, they must never appear similarly sized. CAMERA COMPOSITION: a low-angle wide shot using a 28mm lens, positioned close to the wet road surface, showing King Kong from head to toe, his enormous palm acting as a roof above the man, and the man's hilarious reaction to being soaked, with rain splashes in the foreground, leading road lines and village houses providing clear scale references. LIGHTING: cinematic overcast lighting, soft reflections on wet asphalt, naturally clumped wet gorilla fur, sharply defined water droplets, realistic illumination, rich tropical colours and cinematic depth of field. QUALITY: photorealistic Hollywood movie still, ultra-detailed, realistic water physics, natural anatomy, HDR, subtle film grain, 8K, portrait 3:4, single image. NEGATIVE PROMPT: cartoon, anime, toy-like gorilla, incorrect scale, similar-sized characters, identity drift, distorted face, extra fingers, missing fingers, deformed hands, extra limbs, floating raindrops, unrealistic water, plastic fur, shorts, cropped feet, blurry face, text, watermark, collage, multiple panels.

Prompt 3: Breaking Out of the Painting
Using the uploaded reference person as the ONLY facial identity reference, create an ultra-photorealistic 8K cinematic fine-art photograph in vertical 4:5 format. CONCEPT: inside a historic European art museum, the reference person physically breaks through a 200-year-old oil painting, changing from a flat painted portrait into a living, three-dimensional human, their body half emerging through torn canvas with realistic paint cracks, ripped fibres, falling fragments and seamless transitions between painted and real skin. STYLE: luxury fashion photography with an ornate gold frame, marble floors, dramatic natural lighting, realistic shadows and authentic skin textures. IMPORTANT: keep the person's exact face, hairstyle, age, gender, skin tone and body proportions. The result must look like a genuine photograph of an impossible event, NOT CGI, digital collage or fantasy art.

Prompt 4: Black and White Profile Portrait
Extreme close-up black and white portrait of a young South Asian woman's face in sharp side profile, in vertical 4:5 composition, with only the eye, nose, lips and jawline visible. Long thick dark eyelashes, an intense eye with a visible catchlight, a perfectly arched eyebrow, a straight refined nose with a strong specular highlight on the bridge and tip, full glossy lips slightly parted showing a hint of teeth, and fine dark hair strands dramatically blowing across the cheek and face. Visible skin texture and pores, high-contrast cinematic lighting, deep shadows, solid dark background, photorealistic beauty photography, ultra detailed, 8K, monochrome. Aspect ratio 4:5.

Prompt 5: Rim Light Silhouette Portrait
Use my face with the same hairstyle to generate this image, in vertical 4:5 composition: a stark, high-contrast, black-and-white (monochromatic) side-profile portrait of a person, gender-neutral, perhaps male or ambiguous, emerging from absolute darkness. The figure is almost entirely a silhouette, traced only by a very intense, narrow rim light (edge lighting) along the outline of the head, back and arm. They wear a dark, form-fitting turtleneck or sweater that vanishes completely into the pure black background, leaving the glowing contour to stand out. The person gazes slightly upwards and to the side, conveying contemplation or a sense of aspiration. Details to enhance realism and mood: Subject, gender-neutral or male figure, short hair, clean profile, face mostly in shadow while the sharp line of light defines the jawline and brow. Lighting, one single, very hard, concentrated light source placed directly behind and slightly to the side of the subject, creating a bright, glowing halo effect. Aspect ratio 4:5.

Prompt 6: Couple Mirror Selfie
Ultra-realistic mirror selfie of a young couple in front of a plain or softly-lit background, in vertical 4:5 composition. Hold the phone in one hand so it is visible in the mirror, and run the other hand through your hair, showing your wristwatch or bracelet clearly. Dress the couple in new, casually stylish outfits, different from the reference image. Make sure your face is partially covered by your hand and hair for a casually stylish look. Faces must match the reference 100%. The boy's one hand rests on the girl's back, as in the reference image. Aspect ratio 4:5.

Prompt 7: Gold and Royal Blue Liquid Portrait
Hyper-Premium Gold × Royal Blue Liquid Fashion Portrait. 4:5 vertical, ultra-photorealistic, 32K, cinematic luxury campaign. IDENTITY LOCK: use the uploaded creator reference and preserve the exact facial structure, hairstyle, beard, skin tone, age and natural features, a recognisable identity with realistic skin texture and zero beautification. SUBJECT: a confident full-body male fashion portrait, walking directly toward the camera with a powerful relaxed attitude, one hand in a trouser pocket and the other naturally swinging forward, shot from a slight low-angle hero perspective. He wears a royal-blue tailored suit, a black open-collar shirt, a black belt, a luxury wristwatch and black polished dress shoes, with dark sunglasses, and a long flowing blue suit coat creating dynamic motion. LIQUID MASTERPIECE: behind and around the subject, enormous sculptural waves of molten metallic gold liquid and electric royal-blue liquid, frozen mid-splash, with a giant glowing golden sphere behind his head and body, surrounded by liquid arcs, droplets and reflective particles; the gold and blue liquids stay visually separated yet dramatically intertwine around him. ENVIRONMENT: a minimal warm ivory studio background with a glossy reflective floor covered in subtle gold and blue liquid reflections, a premium advertising aesthetic, dramatic studio lighting, sharp rim highlights, realistic reflections and volumetric glow. CAMERA & QUALITY: 35mm fashion photography, low-angle composition, centred hero framing, full body visible, extreme detail, realistic fabric texture, physically accurate liquid physics, crisp face, cinematic depth, HDR, luxury editorial colour grading, photorealistic, no cartoon, no CGI-looking face, no distortion. NEGATIVE: extra fingers, malformed hands, duplicate body, distorted face, bad anatomy, blurry subject, plastic skin, warped suit, floating limbs, excessive text, watermark, logo errors, cropped feet.

Prompt 8: Dark Teal Cinematic Portrait
Create a dark, intense cinematic close-up portrait of the uploaded man in 4:5 portrait format. He has messy, styled hair with loose strands and stares over his shoulder into the camera with a deep, serious, intensely sad look. His body turns to the side while his left arm rises across his face to his ear, elbow extending upward and forward, covering his face so that only one eye shows, a strong layered pose. He wears a dark teal-blue open silk shirt with rolled-up sleeves, clean chest slightly visible. Shot DSLR-quality from the side as he looks back. Keep his face mostly desaturated with natural skin tones while the shirt stays a rich deep teal-blue, for a selective-colour cinematic look. Use dramatic low-key side lighting, deep black shadows, subtle film grain, high contrast, a moody black background with lower foreground, slight vignette, realistic skin texture, shallow depth of field, editorial fashion photography, an 85mm lens, ultra-realistic and atmospheric rendering. Maintain the face same as the uploaded photo.

Prompt 9: Sketch Illustration Portrait
Ratio 4:5, an ultra-realistic, high-contrast, sketchy digital illustration portrait of a young South Asian man. He has thick curly black hair, a neatly groomed beard and moustache, and looks slightly upwards through thick, vibrant orange/red tinted square sunglasses. The drawing style uses dark pencil/ink cross-hatching with fine line-art detailing across his face and outfit. He wears a dark grey vintage denim jacket with a white cosy fleece/sherpa collar, its chest covered in detailed embroidered patches, a circular "W" patch plus vintage typography text, over a dark patterned T-shirt. Behind him, a detailed vintage newspaper collage with headline text columns, overlaid with dynamic, vibrant paint splashes and splatter effects in high-saturation electric blue and bright orange on both sides of his head. Urban artistic sketch aesthetic, dramatic lighting, highly detailed, 8K resolution. Note: take the facial features and hair from the reference photo, keeping a 100% face match, realistic lighting and the exact line-art artistic style.

Prompt 10: Golden Light Side Profile
Generate an ultra-realistic cinematic portrait of a young man in 3/4 side profile, head slightly tilted downward, with a serious expression. Warm golden light hits the side of his face, creating soft highlights and deep shadows, while the foreground is partially obscured with blurred shapes and framing for depth. Dark background, moody tone, shallow depth of field, high contrast, filmic lighting, 4:5 ratio.
