1. Cinematic Portrait — Natural Light

Portrait

A cinematic close-up portrait of a woman in her late 30s, warm afternoon light filtering through a gauze curtain behind her. Her expression is composed but searching. Shallow depth of field, bokeh background of a softly lit room. Film grain, natural color grading, no artificial fill light. Shot on 85mm equivalent. Photorealistic, editorial quality.

2. Tech Product — Floating Hero Shot

Product

A floating hero shot of a slim wireless earbud case against a pure matte black background. The case is open, one earbud resting inside. A thin band of cool white studio light catches the aluminium hinge and the curved lid edge. Shadow falls directly below. Product photography quality, 4K resolution, no props.

3. Modern Architecture — Dusk Exterior

Architecture

Wide exterior shot of a modernist concrete and glass pavilion at dusk. The interior is lit warm amber, the sky outside deep blue-violet. Reflections in the floor-to-ceiling glass panels. A lone figure visible inside, silhouetted. Long exposure look, no motion blur. Architectural photography, magazine quality.

4. Gourmet Plating — Fine Dining

Food

Overhead flat-lay of a fine dining plate: seared scallops on cauliflower purée, a line of caviar, micro-herbs, and a pool of brown butter sauce trailing diagonally across a white ceramic plate. Harsh single-source sidelight from the left, casting micro-shadows under each herb. Food photography, neutral linen background.

5. Mountain Landscape — First Light

Nature

A wide landscape shot of alpine meadow at first light: grass still frost-white, a glacial lake in the middle distance reflecting the pale orange horizon, jagged mountain ridges beyond. No clouds. Total silence implied. National Geographic quality, 16:9 composition, no human elements.

6. Typography Poster — Bold Statement

Text-in-Image

A bold typographic poster design: the words SLOW DOWN in large white sans-serif type fill the frame, stacked on two lines, against a deep forest green background. Beneath it in small italic: 'everything worth having takes time.' Clean, contemporary poster design. Print-ready quality, even spacing, zero distortion on the letters.

7. Street Photography — Rainy City

Street

A street-level shot of a pedestrian crossing in a city at night, mid-rain. Reflections of neon signs — red, yellow — stretch across the wet pavement. A woman with a white umbrella walks toward the camera from the far side. Motion blur suggests movement; she is sharp. Inspired by Saul Leiter. Square crop.

8. Fashion Editorial — Studio Minimalist

Fashion

A full-length editorial fashion shot of a model in a structured ivory coat against a pale grey seamless studio backdrop. The coat has exaggerated shoulders. The model stands with arms slightly away from their body, chin slightly down. Flat front lighting, minimal shadow. High fashion editorial, Vogue aesthetic.

9. Wildlife — Macro Insect

Nature

Extreme close-up macro photograph of a jumping spider on a green leaf, facing the camera directly. Its eight eyes are visible — the two large forward-facing eyes in sharp focus, the rest softening. Dewdrop on the leaf surface in the background. Natural light, shallow depth of field. BBC Wildlife quality.

10. Home Interior — Golden Hour

Lifestyle

A living room interior at golden hour: a low white linen sofa, a stack of books on a wooden floor, afternoon sun streaming through tall sash windows creating geometric light patches on the pale plaster wall. A plant in a terracotta pot in the corner. No people. Real estate photography with editorial warmth.

11. Conceptual — Memory and Time

Conceptual

A conceptual still life: an old mechanical pocket watch lies open on a worn wooden surface beside a single wilted rose. Both objects are casting long shadows from a low sidelight source. The watch hands are stopped at 3:17. Black and white except for the rose, which retains its deep red color. Dramatic and melancholic.

12. Urban Night — Neon Cityscape

Urban

A wide-angle street-level shot looking down an urban alley at night in a dense Asian city: neon signs in Japanese and Korean characters light the narrow corridor in red and electric blue. Steam rises from a grate in the foreground. A single food cart operates at the end of the alley. Cyberpunk atmosphere, photorealistic.

13. Brand Packaging — Minimal Luxury

Product

A product mockup of a minimal luxury skincare box: matte black exterior with a single embossed gold logotype, set on a slab of white Carrara marble with a spray of dried botanicals beside it. Soft window light from the upper left. Clean luxury brand aesthetic. Packaged product still life, editorial quality.

14. Animal Portrait — Snow Leopard

Wildlife

A frontal portrait of a snow leopard resting on a grey rocky outcrop, looking directly at the camera with pale green eyes. Its coat is crisp in the cold mountain air, whiskers sharp. The background is an out-of-focus Himalayan ridge in blue-grey. Wildlife photography, National Geographic quality, telephoto compression.

15. Vintage Aesthetic — 1970s Kitchen

Retro

A wide shot of a 1970s American kitchen: avocado-green appliances, a Formica countertop, patterned linoleum floor. A woman in a floral apron stands with her back to the camera looking out a small window over the sink. Warm, slightly faded color palette. Super 8 film grain aesthetic. Nostalgic and still.

16. Scientific Visualization — Cell Anatomy

Scientific

A highly detailed scientific illustration of a human red blood cell in cross-section, rendered in the style of a textbook diagram but with photorealistic rendering quality. The internal structure — haemoglobin clusters, membrane layers — visible and labeled in clean white sans-serif text. Dark navy background. Medical visualization quality.

17. Social Media — Recipe Card

Text-in-Image

A clean, designed recipe card graphic for social media: a light cream background, a photo of a finished pasta bowl in the upper third, and the recipe title 'CACIO E PEPE' in large bold black type below it. Ingredients listed in a smaller clean font. Modern food blog aesthetic. The text on the card must be perfectly legible and spelled correctly.

18. Double Exposure — Forest Portrait

Composite

A double exposure portrait: the silhouette of a woman's profile filled with a dense forest of birch trees in autumn. The white birch trunks and golden leaves bleed into her facial features — the hairline, jawline, and nose still defined as the outer edge of the composition. Pale grey background. Fine art photography, gallery quality.

19. Café Scene — Morning Ritual

Lifestyle

An overhead flat-lay of a café tabletop: a white ceramic espresso cup with a perfect rosetta latte art pour, a croissant on a small plate, a newspaper folded open, and a pair of reading glasses. Morning light from an unseen window. Warm tones, slight vignette. Instagram editorial lifestyle quality.

20. Futuristic Interior — Biophilic Design

Architecture

A wide interior shot of a futuristic living space: curved white walls meet a ceiling covered in living moss panels, floor-to-ceiling glass looking onto a vertical garden atrium. Furniture is low and organic in form. Soft diffused daylight throughout. Architectural render quality but photorealistic. A concept for 2040 residential design.

Nano Banana 2 Prompting Tips

Do This:

  • Specify lighting source, quality, and direction every time
  • Use photography publication references: "National Geographic," "Vogue," "editorial"
  • State the lens/shot type upfront ("overhead flat-lay," "85mm portrait")
  • For text in images: put exact text in quotes + "perfectly legible"
  • Use Nano Banana 2 for rapid iteration before running final prompts on Nano Banana Pro
  • Add a resolution anchor at the end: "photorealistic," "4K," "print quality"

Avoid This:

  • Vague style descriptors like "beautiful" or "nice" without specifics
  • Complex multi-reference compositions — use Nano Banana Pro for those
  • Relying on default aspect ratio — specify it explicitly if needed
  • Long complex text strings — keep text-in-image to 10 words or fewer per element
  • Forgetting mood — even a single word ("melancholic," "energetic") dramatically shifts output
  • Skipping subject/background separation — tell the model where the bokeh should be
