Nano Banana 2.1 image examples and prompts
Choose a starter prompt and edit it to describe the image you want.
Fisherman portrait
Read starter prompt
Photograph a retired boat builder outside a small coastal workshop. Frame the face and hands, with a softly blurred harbor behind. Use late-afternoon sidelight, honest skin texture and a quiet documentary mood. Muted blue and warm amber palette. No text.
Seaside travel poster
Read starter prompt
Design a vintage seaside poster for the fictional town of PORTO LUNA. Show a curved bay, striped beach umbrellas and a small orange sailboat using bold geometric shapes. Place the exact headline "PORTO LUNA" at the top and "Find your summer" at the bottom. Ivory paper, ocean blue and coral red. Leave generous breathing room around the lettering.
Rainy street photography
Read starter prompt
Create an atmospheric street photograph just after a rainstorm. A traveler with a translucent umbrella passes a tiny tea shop. Reflected amber light stretches across the pavement, with cool blue shadows in the distance. Eye-level composition, natural movement and restrained film grain. No legible signs.
Overhead breakfast photography
Read starter prompt
Style an editorial breakfast photograph on a pale oak table: a ceramic plate with ricotta toast and sliced figs, a small espresso and a folded linen napkin. Shoot from directly above. Let morning window light reveal the food textures. Keep the upper-right corner uncluttered for a headline added later.
Fox in a snowy forest
Read starter prompt
A wildlife photograph of a red fox pausing beside a snow-covered fallen branch. Soft overcast light, a pale woodland background, individual strands of fur and a few tiny snowflakes on its ears. Place the fox slightly off-center and keep the scene calm and believable.
Japanese-style interior photography
Read starter prompt
Photograph a quiet reading room with warm timber, woven floor mats, one low armchair and a ceramic vase holding a single branch. Soft sunlight enters from the left. Emphasize the grain of the wood and the texture of the fabric. Balanced architectural composition, no people and no text.
