Google Gemini can generate and edit images from text prompts in the mobile app and at gemini.google.com. Upload a selfie first when a prompt says to preserve your face. The prompts below are written for Gemini's image model (often called Nano Banana in social posts) and tested in 2026.
For broader AI context, see our Perplexity Pro vs ChatGPT Plus comparison and the updated how to use Google Gemini guide.
Portrait and fashion prompts
1. Golden Smile
Portrait

Use my selfie as the exact face; perfect tone and lighting match. Hyper-realistic 9:16 overhead close-up: I wear glasses and playfully lean against an ivy-covered stone wall of an old countryside cottage during golden hour. I am laughing with my head slightly tilted down, one hand brushing away a dangling vine. Flowering vines in full bloom (orange, magenta, lavender hues) are softly blurred in the foreground bokeh.
2. Romantic Gaze
Portrait

A modern wedding shoot in an all-white minimalist studio. The subject wears elegant neutral-toned outfits, perhaps a flowing satin dress. Soft natural light streams through large windows with a romantic gaze. Clean lines and simplicity.
3. Autumn Look
Fashion

Generate a highly realistic fashion portrait using my uploaded selfie as the exact face. Preserve facial identity, skin tone, and proportions. Studio look with off-white seamless backdrop. Relaxed pose with a bright laughing smile. Wardrobe: camel wool wrap coat, chunky cream turtleneck, ivory pleated midi skirt, dark chocolate knee-high boots, light beige bucket tote. Soft diffused key light from upper left. Negative: no logos, no plastic skin, no warped hands.
4. Bengali Look
Editorial

Highly realistic editorial portrait using my uploaded selfie as the exact face. White cotton saree with gold zari border, large deep-red bindi, sindoor along the hair parting, traditional gold nath. Tight chest-up close-up, gaze lifted slightly. Terracotta dhunuchi with aromatic smoke in the lower left foreground. Deep black background, warm key light from camera-left.
5. Retro Glow
Retro

Retro 1960s-inspired glam look with soft pastel saree and dotted texture. Winged eyeliner, glossy nude lips, voluminous waves with thick black headband. Close-up editorial portrait with joyful smile, warm golden sunlight across the face, blurred interior background. Dreamy, magazine-like finish.
7. Realistic Portrait
Portrait

4K HD realistic portrait of a young Indian woman with long dark wavy hair. Translucent red saree over a fitted blouse, white flowers behind the right ear, soft serene expression. Use the same face as my uploaded photo with no alteration. Plain warm-toned wall with soft shadow from a light source on the right. Retro artistic mood.
8. Portrait with Lotus
Editorial

Editorial portrait using my uploaded selfie as the exact face. Seated on a studio floor in an off-white handloom saree with micro-motifs, black long-sleeved blouse, small black bindi, jasmine bracelet and ankle garlands. Holding a pink lotus near the chest. Eyes closed, meditative expression. Charcoal studio backdrop, soft diffused key from upper left.
9. Bollywood Portrait 60s
Retro

Use my selfie to lock identity and swap only the face. 1960s Bollywood-style indoor portrait, waist-up, soft smile, gaze off-camera. Sheer pastel-pink dupatta over embroidered salwar-kameez. Voluminous bouffant with pink satin ribbon, flower-shaped clip earrings. Vintage Indian home interior, softly blurred. Retro film grain, muted pastel color grade.
10. Mirror Selfie
Street style

Realistic mirror selfie using my uploaded selfie as the exact face. Minimal modern indoor staircase with white walls and glass railings. Black oversized blazer over black top, high-waisted loose blue jeans, slim black belt, small crossbody bag. Long hair in loose waves. Authentic phone-camera proportions and reflective realism.
11. Retro Indian Look
Cinematic

Editorial photo using my uploaded selfie as the exact face. Rustic burnt-orange cotton saree, loosely braided side plait, tiny red bindi. Leaning against an old wooden balcony railing, gaze turned to the side. Weathered walls, subtle rain droplets, soft monsoon-evening light. Cinematic, nostalgic, period-drama mood.
12. Country Girl
Fashion

Realistic fashion photo using my uploaded selfie as the exact face. Seated on a weathered wooden fence in an autumn field with golden foliage. Black leather moto jacket over burgundy floral wrap dress, distressed brown cowboy boots. Soft overcast daylight, light filmic grain. Calm expression looking slightly to camera-right.
Couple and professional prompts
13. Dashing Couple
Couple

Upload a couple photo or two separate portraits first. Studio portrait of a man seated on a wooden stool and a woman standing behind him. Both in fitted black suits with black shirts, small silver chains and watches, top buttons slightly open. Dark studio background, soft directional lighting, moody powerful aura, realistic faces.
14. Man on Chair
Studio

Portrait of a confident man sitting on a wooden stool against a dark studio background. Relaxed yet dominant posture, one arm on his leg, the other hand in his pocket. Soft directional lighting, realistic face from my uploaded photo.
15. Corporate Headshot
Professional

Transform this photo into a professional headshot. Sharp dark blazer against a softly blurred neutral office background. Bright flattering lighting, confident and approachable look.
16. Author Portrait
Professional

Warm author headshot in a cozy book-lined study, comfortable knit sweater, soft natural window light.
