Prompting tips

Nano Banana is optimized for one-shot accuracy, so precise and structured prompts produce the best results.
  1. Be specific — Define the subject, background, product, and style within the same prompt. For example: “A man in a modern kitchen holding a coffee mug, styled like a product ad.”
  2. Use multiple references — Upload images of the subject, product, and setting together to maintain consistency across outputs.
  3. Guide the mood — Include descriptive terms like “cinematic”, “flat lay”, or “studio lighting” to influence composition and overall tone.

Example prompts

Example 1
A fluid gender albino person inside a vintage car with bright yellow chrysanthemums spilling out through the windows, holding a baby blue handbag. The scene blends nature and fashion with a dreamlike atmosphere, shot in a cinematic and analog photo style.
Example 2
A sleek modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a marble countertop, featuring a woman in a red dress holding a glass of wine. The scene should reflect contemporary elegance, with soft lighting highlighting the product and surroundings.
