Today’s new Gemini AI prompts let you create extreme close-up, hyper-realistic, cinematic portraits with ease.
Gemini has made major improvements to its photo creation and editing features — and people are already sharing their best prompt ideas online. This buzz grew after Google integrated Nano Banana, its powerful AI image generation tool, into the new Gemini 2.5 Flash model.
Simply put, if you open Google AI Studio or the Gemini app, you can create stunning, high-quality portraits in seconds. At AI Trends Insights, you can use these new prompts to generate realistic portraits — for example, of a handsome young man. Nano Banana works especially well for precision image editing and detailing.
Of course, you could always step outside and take real photos — but if you love experimenting with AI, this is a great way to get creative. Here are a few prompt ideas to help you get started.
