Terminator Redux Nano Banana prompt example

Nano Banana prompt text

A cinematic, somber, medium-length portrait in the iconic Terminator style. The subject is a robust male figure, with half of his face (right side) revealing a cybernetic structure of metal and wires, with a glowing red mechanical eye. The other half of his face (left side) is human, with a serious, determined expression, furrowed brows, and a thin beard. He wears a worn black leather jacket over a dark T-shirt. His hair is short, dark, and slicked back. The background is dark and smoky, with a mysterious and menacing atmosphere, enhanced by subtle smoke or fog. The lighting is dramatic and low-key, with sidelights highlighting the leather texture and metallic details of the cybernetic face, and a red light emanating from the mechanical eye. Camera Settings: Captured with a portrait lens (e.g., 85mm f/1.4) on a full-frame camera for a sharp close-up with flattering compression. Aperture adjusted between f/2.0 and f/2.8 for a shallow depth of field, focusing on the face and blurring the background. ISO 400-800 for low light. Shutter speed from 1/125s to 1/250s. Studio lighting controlled with sidelights and backlighting (rim light) to create a dramatic effect and highlight the red eye. Instructions for the "nano banana": "Please use the user's reference image to capture and apply all their facial features, facial structure, eye color, hair and beard style, and skin tone with maximum fidelity. The goal is to create a Terminator-like version of the user. The clothing (black leather jacket), the cybernetic part of the face with the red eye, the serious expression, the dramatic lighting, and the dark, smoky background should be generated as described, creating a perfect fusion between the user's identity and the aesthetics of 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.
