How to Prompt Nano Banana 2: The Core Framework

The difference between average and exceptional results comes down to how you write your prompt. Here's the proven structure.

The 6 Elements of a Strong Prompt

• Subject - Who or what is in the image, with specific characteristics

• Composition - Camera framing, angles, and shot type

• Action - What is happening in the scene

• Setting - Environment and context

• Style - Visual aesthetic and mood

• Technical Specifications - Camera and lighting details (for advanced results)

Basic Prompt Formula

[SUBJECT] + [ACTION] in [SETTING], [COMPOSITION], [STYLE]

Example: "Vintage astronaut helmet filled with blooming wildflowers floating in deep ocean, centered overhead shot, surrealist fine art photography"

Advanced Prompt Formula

[SUBJECT + DETAILS] + [ACTION] in [SETTING + ENVIRONMENT],

[COMPOSITION + CAMERA], [LIGHTING + MOOD], [STYLE + QUALITY]

Example: "A pair of worn red ballet shoes hanging by their ribbons from a rusted iron streetlamp on a cobblestone Parisian alley at blue hour, light mist rising from the wet stones below, shot with 85mm lens at f/1.4 with the background dissolving into a soft bokeh of warm amber cafe lights, cool blue ambient air with a single warm glow kissing the shoes from above, melancholic editorial fashion meets street photography, rich contrast, 4K"

Prompting Techniques That Actually Work

Technique 1: Edit, Don't Re-roll

Nano Banana 2's biggest advantage is its conversational editing. If your first output is 80% correct, never start over refine what you have.

Old workflow: Generate → Dislike → Re-prompt → Generate again → Repeat

Nano Banana 2 workflow: Generate → Evaluate → "Keep the composition but change lighting to golden hour" → Done

This saves time and preserves what was already working.

Image edit prompt : Change sunlight into dark night time blue colour tone and the kid fox are wearing hats

Technique 2: Reference-Based Prompting

You can upload up to 14 reference images and assign each a specific role. This is powerful for brand consistency and character continuity.

Reference roles you can assign:

• Identity/Character: Facial features, body type, distinctive characteristics

• Pose/Composition: Body position, gesture, spatial arrangement

• Style/Aesthetic: Color palette, visual treatment, artistic approach

• Lighting/Atmosphere: Light direction, mood, environmental tone

• Environment/Background: Setting, location, contextual elements

Technique 3: Photography Language

Using real photography terminology dramatically improves your results.

Lens & focal length:

• Wide-angle (18-35mm) - expansive scenes, environmental context

• Standard (50mm) - natural perspective, versatile

• Portrait (85-135mm) - subject isolation, professional headshots

Aperture & depth of field:

• Shallow (f/1.4-f/2.8) - subject isolation, blurred background, cinematic

• Medium (f/4-f/5.6) - balanced focus with context

• Deep (f/8-f/16) - everything sharp, ideal for product or landscape

Lighting terms:

• Golden hour - warm, soft light at sunrise/sunset

• High-key - bright, minimal shadows, optimistic mood

• Low-key - dramatic shadows, moody atmosphere

• Rim lighting - backlight creating edge glow and separation

• Three-point lighting - professional studio key, fill, and rim setup

Shot types:

• Close-up (CU) - face or product detail

• Medium shot (MS) - waist up

• Wide shot (WS) - full scene

• Low angle - camera below subject (power, authority)

• Eye level - neutral, natural

Technique 5: Text in Images

Nano Banana 2 has excellent text rendering one of its standout features. Follow these rules:

• Wrap exact text in quotation marks: The text reads 'LAUNCH SALE'

• Specify font style: "bold sans-serif," "elegant serif," "modern geometric font"

• Define placement: "centered at top," "bottom left corner," "integrated into layout"

• Keep it concise: 3-5 words maximum for reliable rendering
