Nano Banana prompt text

By maintaining the original face and without changing anything from the face and hairstyle. A middle-aged man of Asian descent, around the age of 35-39 years, with a very serious, sharp, and intense facial expression. * His face is genuine as in the picture: a straight and focused eye gaze. * Her hairstyle is exactly like in the picture * Pose: Sitting in front of a table, body slightly tilted forward. Both hands are placed on the table, with the left wrist protruding wearing a dark smartwatch, there are red accessories on the watch with silver bezels. * Clothing: Wearing a dark black casual shirt with long sleeves. The LV brand. Setting and atmosphere: * Location in a dimly lit room, giving a feel like an interrogation room, detective office, or a serious meeting room at night. In the foreground left of the short-haired man and right woman, there is a blurred silhouette of someone's shoulder, giving the impression that the photo was taken from another person's point of view (over-the-shoulder shot). On the table to the left of the subject, there is a dark-covered book. * Overall atmosphere: Tender, dramatic, serious, and full of concentration. Technical details of photography and art: Style: Cinematic still, thriller or crime drama style. The image quality is very high and sharp (hyper-detailed, 4K). Angle: Medium close-up, taken from a slightly low-angle shot, which makes the subject look more dominant and powerful. * Lighting: Dramatic lighting and high contrast (chiaroscuro style). Direction of Light: The main light source (key light) comes from the upper right direction (from the photographer's point of view), shining the left side of the man's face strongly. * Light & Shadow: This light creates a clear highlight on his forehead, cheekbones, and left nose, while the right side of his face is in a deep and dark shadow. This accentuated the contours and expressions of his face. The quality of light is soft but directed. Focus & Depth of Field: Focus is very sharp on the man's face. The background and elements in the foreground (the shoulders of others) are very blurry, creating a shallow depth of field or bokeh effect, which isolates the subject and draws all attention to it. Color palette: Dominated by dark colors: black, dark gray, and shadow. The subject's skin color is the only contrasting warm element in the image.

Prompt workflow

How to use this Nano Banana prompt

Start with the full prompt so its subject, scene, and visual direction stay connected. Then adapt only the part that changes your result: the subject for a new concept, the scene for a different setting, or the style and composition for a new format.

Preserve the core brief

Keep the subject, visual style, and composition cues that make this prompt recognizable. Change one creative variable at a time when iterating.

Match the output to the channel

Choose the aspect ratio for the final placement, then add a clear crop, camera, or layout instruction instead of relying on a vague style word.

Use references for hard-to-name details

Upload references when a product shape, material, palette, or composition is easier to show than to describe in words.

Refine with a specific goal

Ask for a concrete change such as a different background, lighting direction, framing, or text treatment while naming the details that must remain.

Use this prompt with other image models

This remains a Nano Banana prompt first. Use these alternatives when the same brief needs a different kind of image control.

Nano Banana prompt FAQ

How should I adapt this prompt?

Keep the strongest subject, scene, and style instructions, then make one targeted change for the result you need. Clear changes are easier to evaluate than replacing the whole prompt at once.

When should I use a reference image?

Use a reference when you need to preserve a visual detail that text alone may not capture, such as a product silhouette, a material, a color palette, or a composition.

Which model should I choose?

Start with Nano Banana for fast iteration. Choose GPT Image 2 for text-heavy or precise edit requests, and Flux 2 Pro when detailed commercial art direction or multiple references matter most.
