If you’re looking for Gemini AI photo prompts that produce clean, client-ready images (not random, experimental outputs), you’re in the right place.
Google’s Gemini image generation (powered by Imagen 3) can create impressive visuals, but results depend on one thing: prompt quality. Small changes in structure, detail, and constraints often separate “looks AI” from “looks professional.”
Over the last six weeks, I tested Gemini’s Nano Banana Pro on real deliverables with real expectations: LinkedIn-style headshots, e-commerce product visuals, startup marketing creatives, documentation diagrams, and more.
When you write prompts like a creative brief (not a casual request), Gemini’s output improves fast better lighting, more realistic textures, fewer weird artifacts, and more consistency across variations.
What Makes This Guide Different?
Most prompt lists give you generic templates and leave you guessing. This one is built for outcomes:
- 35+ production-tested Gemini AI prompts (refined based on real results)
- Works across Gemini modes, including Imagen 3
- Practical workflows for marketing, client work, and documentation
- Prompt techniques you can reuse so you can build your own prompts confidently
- Common mistakes + fixes (the problems you’ll hit, and how to solve them)
Whether you’re a freelancer, marketer, founder, or creator, these Nano Banana prompts will help you get better images in less time without endless trial and error.
Start Here (So the Prompts Don’t Let You Down)
Before you copy the first prompt, let me save you the headache I had in week one.
Gemini doesn’t “mess up” randomly. Most of the time, we’re just being vague. We ask for a “professional photo” and forget to define what professional means: lighting, lens look, background, framing, mood, and what to avoid.
So here’s the simple rule I used across client work:
Lock the subject first. Then change one thing at a time.
If you change the subject, the style, the lighting, and the background all at once, you’ll get a different image every time. If you keep the subject block the same and only swap the scene, the results suddenly start looking consistent and usable.
Which Gemini mode should you pick?
- Fast is my choice when I’m exploring options. I use it to generate 5–10 variations quickly and see what direction looks right.
- Thinking / Pro is what I switch to when I want the “final” look cleaner composition, fewer weird details, and better results when the image includes text (labels, posters, packaging, UI-style visuals).
The prompt format that gives you “client-ready”
Every prompt in this guide follows the same backbone:
Subject → Scene → Lighting → Camera look → Style → Constraints
In a second, I’ll give you a copy-paste template. Use it once, then reuse it like a mini creative brief.
Copy-Paste Prompt Template (Use This First)
Use this template as your “base prompt,” then swap only the Scene/Background line to create new variations without losing consistency.
- Subject: [what it is + key details]
- Scene/Background: [where it is + props]
- Lighting: [soft daylight / studio / golden hour / neon, etc.]
- Camera look: [35mm, 50mm, shallow depth of field, sharp focus, etc.]
- Style: [photoreal / cinematic / product photo / minimal]
- Constraints: [no extra text, no distorted hands, clean background, no watermark]
How to Use These Gemini AI Photo Prompts in Nano Banana
Here’s the exact flow I use so the prompts work the way they’re supposed to.
- Open Gemini (web or app).
- Click Create image from the tools menu.
- Pick your mode:
- Fast → Nano Banana (quick drafts and variations)
- Thinking → Nano Banana Pro
- Pro → Nano Banana Pro (best when you want a “final” look)
- Paste one of the prompts from this guide. (If you copied it from a code block, remove the backticks.)
- If the prompt says Upload, add your reference image(s) first, then run the prompt.
If the first result is close but not perfect, don’t restart from scratch. Keep the same prompt and tweak one line (lighting, background, framing). That’s how you dial it in fast.

Nano Banana vs Nano Banana Pro in Gemini (Fast vs Thinking)
If you only remember one thing from this section, make it this:
Your prompt doesn’t magically “work better.” The model you pick changes what your prompt can do.
In Gemini’s image tool, you’ll usually see two lanes:
- Fast → Nano Banana
- Thinking → Nano Banana Pro
They can both generate great images, but they’re good at different jobs.
Nano Banana (Fast)
This is my “sketch mode.”
I use it when I’m exploring ideas, trying 6 variations quickly, or doing lightweight edits. It’s quick, forgiving, and great when I’m not ready to commit to one final look.
Use it for:
- fast iterations (try angles, outfits, backgrounds)
- casual social content
- quick photo mixing / small local edits
- anything where speed matters more than pixel perfection
Nano Banana Pro (Thinking)
This is my “deliverable mode.”
When the image needs to hold up in a deck, on a website, in print, or in front of a client, I switch to Pro. It’s more deliberate and it rewards detail. It also handles text inside images far better when you brief it properly.
Use it for:
- brand visuals and product-style shots
- diagrams, UI-like graphics, infographics
- anything with text that must be readable
- edits where accuracy matters (lighting, proportions, layout)
How to Write Nano Banana Pro Prompts That Actually Work
I learned this the hard way: Pro doesn’t want “cute prompts.”
It wants instructions that sound like a real creative brief.
1) Decide what matters most, then over-specify that
Don’t try to control everything. Control the 2–3 things that make or break the image.
Instead of:
Make it look professional.
Say:
Soft window light from 45 degrees, neutral color grade, no beauty smoothing, sharp focus on eyes.
2) Use a repeatable backbone (this stops random outputs)
Here’s the structure I default to:
Subject → Scene → Lighting → Camera look → Style → Constraints → Output
This is what keeps your results consistent. Especially when you’re generating a series.
3) Constraints are not optional (they’re the safety rails)
If you want a usable image, tell the model what it must not mess with:
- “preserve exact facial features and proportions”
- “maintain natural skin texture (pores visible)”
- “no extra fingers / no warped hands”
- “no logos / no watermarks / no text unless specified”
That one block alone fixes most “why did it ruin the face?” problems.
4) Reference images work best when each one has a role
A quick rule I follow:
- 1–2 images: identity + style direction
- 3–6 images: scene + wardrobe + lighting consistency
- more than that: only if you’re building a set (same person, multiple images, same look)
More images isn’t automatically better. Better images are better.
5) Lock your output, or you’ll regret it later
If you don’t specify format, you’ll get something that’s fine to preview… and annoying to use.
Good endings look like:
- “4:5 vertical, 1080×1350 for Instagram”
- “Square 2000×2000 for profile image”
- “2K output, clean layout, print-safe”
6) Text is Pro’s superpower (but only if you direct it like a designer)
If your image includes text, don’t say “add text.”
Say what a designer would say:
- where it goes (top third, left aligned, etc.)
- font style (bold sans serif headline)
- hierarchy (headline 2× body size)
- rules (no text over faces, readable at 100% zoom)
Common Nano Banana Pro Problems (and the fixes I actually use)
Problem: Skin turns plastic
Fix: natural skin texture, subtle pores visible, no beauty filter, no smoothing.
Problem: Text looks melted or fuzzy
Fix: text must be sharp and readable at 100% zoom, clean edges, proper spacing.
Problem: Lighting feels fake
Fix: one key light source only” (or define exactly two sources with direction and intensity).
Problem: The model gets confused
Fix: remove contradictions.
Instead of “minimal and super detailed,” write:
“minimal composition, one subject, high detail in fabric texture.”
Problem: The person changes across images
Fix: “keep the same face in every image; do not change facial structure, hairstyle, or proportions.”
Problem: You forget the goal
Fix: end every prompt with the use case:
“this is for LinkedIn / print / hero banner, so prioritize X.”
When to Use Fast vs Thinking (simple rule)
Use Fast (Nano Banana) when:
- you’re exploring ideas
- you need speed
- you’re iterating quickly
- perfection doesn’t matter yet
Use Thinking (Nano Banana Pro) when:
- it’s for a client or brand
- text must be correct
- layout/accuracy matters
- you need a consistent series
Why These Prompts Work
After testing these extensively, I’ve noticed a pattern. The prompts that work best are:
- Detailed but not restrictive – Give enough information to guide the AI, but don’t micromanage every pixel.
- Using the right language – Photography and design terms help the AI understand what you want. Terms like “bokeh,” “chiaroscuro,” “flat lay,” or “hero section” work better than vague descriptions.
- Structured progressively – Start with the main subject, then add style details, then specify technical requirements like size or resolution.
The prompts that disappointed me were usually too vague (“make a nice marketing image”) or tried to do too many unrelated things at once.
What Are Common Nano Banana Prompts Mistakes to Avoid?
After experimenting extensively, here are the pitfalls you should avoid:
- Don’t Be Vague: “Make a nice image about marketing” won’t get you far. The more specific you are, the better your results.
- Don’t Forget About Aspect Ratios: Always specify the dimensions or aspect ratio you need. Nothing’s worse than generating a perfect image that doesn’t fit your platform.
- Don’t Expect Perfect Text Every Time: While Nano Banana Pro is amazing with text, complex layouts or unusual fonts can still trip it up. Sometimes you’ll need a second attempt.
- Don’t Skip the Iterations: Your first prompt rarely gives you the perfect result. Refine, adjust, and iterate. The model learns from your feedback.
- Don’t Ignore Reference Images: When you have a specific vision, show don’t just tell. Upload examples of the style, color palette, or composition you want.
What Are The Tips for Getting Professional Nano Banana Results?
Here’s what separates amateur outputs from professional-looking results:
- Use Specific Color Values: Instead of “blue,” try “navy blue #1E3A8A” or “sky blue with slight desaturation.”
- Mention Brand Guidelines: If you’re creating marketing materials, include your brand colors, font preferences, and style guidelines directly in the prompt.
- Request Specific Resolutions: For web use, 2K is usually perfect. Save 4K for print materials or large displays where the extra cost is justified.
- Layer Your Requests: Start with the main subject, then add lighting instructions, then composition details, then text overlays. Structure your prompts like layers.
- Test Different Phrasings: The same idea expressed differently can yield dramatically different results. Experiment with how you describe things.
What’s Actually Worth Using This For?
Let me be honest about where Nano Banana Pro excels and where it struggles:
Absolutely Worth It:
- Blog graphics and social media content
- Marketing materials with text (posters, ads, banners)
- Infographics and educational diagrams
- Product mockups and concept visualizations
- Quick design iterations and A/B test variants
Still Needs Work:
- Photorealistic faces at small sizes
- Extremely complex scenes with many people
- Perfect brand color matching (always verify)
- Intricate hand-drawn details
Your Turn to Create Stunning Images!
I’ve given you 21 prompts to start with, but honestly, this is just scratching the surface. The real magic happens when you start experimenting with your own ideas.
Try these prompts, modify them for your specific needs, and see what works best for your content. Pay attention to which styles resonate with your audience and which prompts save you the most time.
And here’s a pro tip: keep a swipe file of prompts that work well for you. When you generate something amazing, save that prompt. Build your own library of go-to formulas that you can remix and reuse.
The barrier between having an idea and bringing it to life just got dramatically lower. So what are you waiting for? Fire up Gemini, switch to Thinking mode, and start creating.
What will you make first?
Quick Note: Remember that free users get limited generations with Nano Banana Pro before switching to the regular model. If you’re serious about using this tool regularly, the Google AI subscription is worth considering for higher limits and consistent access.
