Nano Banana 2 prompt examples

Aug 27, 2026100

Read the full promptGrandmother is sitting on a chair next to the window in the bedroom. Color Scheme: Emerald Silhouette Camera: Digital (likely ARRI ALEXA-class system) Lens: Wide (anamorphic aesthetic, 2.39:1) Format: Digital, 2.39:1 Anamorphic Color: Cool, Saturated Green / Cyan Grain Level: Low; clean digital image with atmospheric diffusion from airborne particles. Lighting & Color Architecture The frame is built around a classic high-contrast silhouette configuration with strong daylight backlight. The color dramaturgy relies on cool green-cyan tonal separation with deep interior shadows. Lighting Setup Primary source: Natural overcast daylight through windows, acting as strong backlight. Light passes through sheer curtains, producing volumetric light rays. Minimal to no fill; negative fill shapes the edges. Ceiling fixtures remain inactive, preserving top shadow density. High contrast ratio. The silhouette reads through exposure separation between exterior highlights and interior shadows. Light distribution is centrally symmetrical, creating an almost altar-like framing effect. Character The figure is rendered as a near-complete silhouette — skin tones are not visible. Body contour defined by soft green-cyan rim light. Profile, shoulder line, and forearm emphasized by diffused backlight. Shadows are dense, approaching clipped black (#0E140D). Maximum contrast. Background saturation is medium-high, subject nearly absolute black. Background Dominant hues include cool olive and mint tones: Deep dark olive (#1A2116) Muted green (#3F5034) Dusty sage (#6E7F55) Light mint-cyan (#8FCFAF) Curtains function as a diffusion layer, producing smooth highlight roll-off. Light beams introduce diagonal dynamism within an otherwise symmetrical composition. Depth is achieved through layered luminance separation: foreground black, mid-ground green density, luminous cyan background. Atmosphere: contemplative, tense, with vintage green-tinted grading.

Read the full promptA cinematic 35mm still of a fair-skinned woman sitting alone at a kitchen table at night. She is positioned slightly off-center, seated in profile, her posture relaxed but introspective. The frame is composed in 2.35:1 aspect ratio, shot as if on Arricam LT with Zeiss Master Primes (wide lens). Style & Color Grade: Warm Neon Noir. The scene is dominated by a warm amber-orange palette with saturated neon yellow accents. Deep, sculpted shadows surround her, creating strong chiaroscuro contrast. Lighting setup: Motivated warm neon practical lights glowing in the deep background (left side of frame). Strong directional backlight creating a golden rim along her hairline, forehead, nose bridge, and hand. Minimal fill light, preserving negative fill and deep shadow density. A warm overhead practical casts a localized amber light pool across the kitchen table surface. Subtle atmospheric haze enhancing volumetric glow and gentle halation around neon highlights. Skin tones are shaped by a tungsten amber key light (#A14B0F, #6A2007), producing rich warmth. Shadows are dense with reddish-brown undertones. Yellow-green neon spill subtly reflects on glass surfaces and faintly across her cheek. Wardrobe is neutral-toned and partially absorbed into shadow to maintain noir tonality. Background transitions from deep near-black burgundy (#180103) into warm brown-orange (#6A2007, #A14B0F) and saturated neon yellow highlights (#E0CF13, #C19B16). Light appears in localized pools, creating layered depth. Film characteristics: 35mm film look, Kodak Vision3 500T color response. Moderate organic film grain, subtly visible in shadow areas. High contrast ratio, medium-to-high saturation. Soft bloom and halation around neon elements. Moody, atmospheric, cinematic, dramatic neon-noir kitchen scene.

Read the full promptCinematic surreal scene inside an empty movie theater. Rows of dark upholstered cinema seats fill the background in soft focus. In the foreground, seated in one chair, there is a classical marble statue (Greco-Roman male bust/figure, draped toga style) posed like a real viewer. The statue wears modern orange 3D glasses (thick plastic frames) and holds a striped popcorn bucket filled with popcorn on its lap/armrest. The marble texture is detailed with subtle surface imperfections and soft shadows in the sculpture folds. The statue faces forward as if watching the screen, calm expression, slightly turned head, strong side light shaping the face. Dust motes or tiny particles float subtly in the air, catching light. The composition is centered with the statue as the focal point, while the repeating pattern of seats creates depth and cinematic perspective. Lighting: low-key theater lighting, a soft beam from the screen direction or side key creates gentle highlights on the statue and popcorn; background seats remain dark and subdued. Composition & optics: vertical frame, medium shot; shallow depth of field with strong bokeh on distant seats; film still vibe. Color grading Overall tone: moody, cinematic, slightly cool blue/teal shadows in the seats and background. Contrast: medium-to-high contrast, but keep marble highlights soft (no harsh clipping). Saturation: mostly restrained and neutral; let orange glasses be the main saturated accent, popcorn warm highlights secondary. Highlights: gentle bloom/halation on the brightest marble edges and popcorn highlights, subtle and filmic. Shadows: deep, clean blacks in the theater seats; lift very slightly to keep texture (avoid crushed noise). Midtones: marble stays warm-neutral (off-white/cream), separated from cool background. Filmic finish: subtle grain, mild vignette, slightly reduced clarity in background to enhance depth and soften upholstery texture. Palette keywords: cool dark theater, teal shadows, warm marble midtones, orange accent, cinematic low-key, film grain, soft bloom.

Warm Neon Noir Bedroom

Read the full promptA cinematic 35mm frame of an elderly grandmother sitting in an armchair beside a bedroom window at night. The composition is shot in 2.35:1 aspect ratio, as if captured on Arricam LT with Zeiss Master Primes (wide lens). The framing is intimate but environmental — she is positioned slightly right of center, near the window. Style & Color Grade: Warm Neon Noir. The scene is dominated by a warm amber-orange palette with neon yellow accents, combined with deep low-key shadows. High contrast, moody, atmospheric. She sits quietly in profile, hands resting gently in her lap. Her expression is thoughtful and calm. Soft wrinkles and facial texture are sculpted by dramatic lighting. Lighting setup: Motivated warm neon practical light glowing outside the window (left/deep background), casting saturated amber and yellow tones. Strong directional backlight from the window outlining her silhouette and hair with a golden rim. Minimal fill light, preserving negative fill and strong shadow mass. A subtle warm practical (lamp or overhead fixture) creates a localized amber light pool on the floor and armchair fabric. Asymmetrical light distribution: one side rim-lit and defined, the opposite side falling into deep burgundy shadow. Skin tones are shaped by a warm tungsten key light (#A14B0F, #6A2007), producing rich cinematic warmth. Shadows are dense with reddish-brown undertones. Yellow-green neon spill softly reflects on the window glass and faintly touches her cheek (moderate intensity). Warm orange bounce light appears on her forearm and the armrest. Her wardrobe is neutral-toned and partially absorbed into shadow, reinforcing noir tonality. Background: The bedroom fades from deep near-black burgundy (#180103) into warm brown-orange (#6A2007, #A14B0F) with neon yellow highlights (#E0CF13, #C19B16) from outside practical lighting. Localized pools of light create layered depth. Atmospheric haze enhances volumetric glow and subtle halation around neon highlights. Film characteristics: 35mm look, Kodak Vision3 500T color response. Moderate organic film grain, subtly visible in shadow areas. High contrast ratio, medium-to-high saturation. Soft bloom and halation around practical neon light. Moody, cinematic, intimate Warm Neon Noir bedroom scene.

Read the full prompt1970s New York diner, warm interior, bright and readable. Two men in a booth, medium two-shot: the near man seen from behind over his shoulder, the far man facing us frontally, completely still, hands flat on the table, calm neutral expression. Deep red vinyl banquette #B22B34 wraps the booth, dark walnut #6B4423 table edge and panelling, tungsten ceiling lamps casting soft warm #E8B65A on faces and chrome napkin holder. Behind them the room recedes in sharp focus — more booths, a counter with stools, one waitress mid-step far back. Large plate-glass window on the right shows a pale daytime street with parked cars and sidewalk, cool daylight spilling in. Camera: eye level, f/5.6, 40mm, everything crisp front to back. Warm and saturated.

Read the full promptCandid flash photo at night in a snowy outdoor setting. In the center: a white cat sitting upright, wearing a red Santa hat with a white pom-pom. The cat has small gold sunglasses (retro, oval) and a gold chain necklace with a round pendant. The cat’s mouth is open with the tongue out, as if mid-meow or laughing — funny, chaotic holiday vibe. On both sides, partially in frame, there are two black cats: one on the left in shadow, and one on the right wearing a red collar. They face inward toward the center cat. The cats are standing among cardboard boxes in the foreground. Background: snow-covered ground and a large snowy evergreen tree with tiny warm string lights glowing (bokeh dots). A wall or vertical surface appears on the right edge. Light snowfall or small particles may be visible. Lighting: strong direct on-camera flash — bright foreground, hard-ish shadows, shiny reflections on the gold sunglasses and chain; background falls off into darker blues. Composition & optics: snapshot framing, slightly wide, center subject sharp; background softly out of focus; authentic point-and-shoot / film photo feel. Color grading Overall tone: “flash film photo” / disposable camera look. White balance: cool ambient (blue night snow), but flash adds neutral-to-warm highlights on fur. Contrast: medium-high; deep shadows at edges, but keep fur detail on the white cat (avoid clipping). Saturation: moderate; let red Santa hat and gold accessories pop; keep snow cool and slightly desaturated. Highlights: bright flash highlights with a bit of specular shine on metal; slight halation around the warm tree lights. Shadows: cool navy/blue shadows; mild green shift is okay for nostalgic film vibe. Finishing: visible film grain, a little noise; subtle vignette; slight softness/low clarity like point-and-shoot lens. Palette keywords: cool blue snow + warm fairy lights, flash photography, holiday kitsch, gold accents, candid snapshot, film grain.

A ten-year-old boy sits cross-legged on the carpet close to camera, slightly left of center, facing camera straight on, perfectly still, calm neutral expression, face evenly lit and fully readable; a few small toy cars beside him. Carpet fills the lower half: large bold hexagonal geometric pattern in rust orange #C1622E and maroon #8E2B2B. Symmetrical dark wooden doors line both walls, ochre wallpaper #D9B87A, wall sconces glowing evenly, corridor receding in several clearly separated planes, lit to full depth. Palette: rust #C1622E, maroon #8E2B2B, ochre #D9B87A. Even warm sconce light, no darkness at the far end, no dark edges, no vignette. Camera static, f/8, everything sharp, no motion blur.

Read the full promptWhimsical cinematic outdoor portrait with a humorous fashion vibe. A long-haired elegant sighthound (Afghan hound / borzoi-like) sits upright on a vintage upholstered armchair or small couch. The dog has very long silky light-blonde/cream fur with darker grayish strands, flowing like hair. It wears orange-brown sunglasses with dark lenses (retro style). One front paw is raised, holding a white ceramic teacup (large cup) as if making a toast. The dog looks toward the camera, calm and composed. The chair/couch has a plaid/checkered fabric in warm earthy tones (brown, burgundy, beige) with visible texture. Background is a lush green garden hedge/trees, heavily blurred with strong bokeh. The composition is vertical with lots of negative space above, subject placed lower center. Soft late-afternoon light, gentle highlights on fur and cup, cozy surreal editorial mood. Lighting: natural outdoor light, soft and warm, like golden hour; subtle rim light on fur; no harsh shadows. Composition & optics: medium shot, shallow depth of field; background creamy bokeh; film photo feel; subject sharp. Color grading Overall tone: warm vintage film look with green-dominant background and warm skin-like highlights on fur. Contrast: medium contrast, slightly lifted blacks (soft matte) to feel filmic and cozy. Saturation: moderate; greens slightly muted/olive; oranges/browns in glasses and plaid subtly emphasized. Highlights: warm highlights (soft golden tint), gentle bloom/halation on bright fur strands and cup edges. Shadows: cool-to-neutral shadows (slight green/cyan bias) to keep the garden depth, but not too teal. Grain & texture: light film grain, slight softness/low clarity to enhance the dreamy analog vibe. Finishing: subtle vignette to draw attention to the dog; keep background blur smooth and creamy. Palette keywords: warm film, olive greens, cozy browns, golden hour, matte blacks, vintage editorial, dreamy bokeh.
