Prompts for Midjourney, ChatGPT image generation, Nano Banana and Flux, from headshots and product shots to photo edits.
Professional headshot from your photo
Use the photo I uploaded of myself as the reference. Create a professional corporate headshot of the same person.
Keep exactly: face shape, facial features, skin tone, eye color, hairstyle and hair color, so the person is clearly recognizable. Do not change age, body type or ethnicity.
Change:
- Clothing: [e.g. navy blazer over a white shirt].
- Background: [e.g. soft gray studio backdrop / blurred modern office].
- Lighting: soft key light from the left, gentle fill, subtle rim light, no harsh shadows.
- Framing: head and shoulders, centered, eyes in the upper third, looking at the camera with a natural, relaxed smile.
Style: realistic photo, 85mm portrait lens look, shallow depth of field, natural skin texture without heavy retouching. Output: [square 1:1 / vertical 4:5].
E-commerce product photo on white
You are a commercial product photographer. Create a clean e-commerce photo of [product: type, color, material, size].
Scene: the product centered on a pure white seamless background, filling about 80% of the frame, [front view / three-quarter view at 30 degrees].
Lighting: large softbox from above and both sides, even exposure, soft natural shadow directly under the product, no reflections hiding details.
Details to show clearly: [key features, e.g. stitching, buttons, label area left blank].
Constraints: no props, no added text or logos, true-to-life colors, sharp focus across the whole product, no distortion of proportions.
Format: square 1:1, high resolution, suitable for an online store listing.
Midjourney lifestyle product scene
Lifestyle product photograph of [product] placed on [surface, e.g. a light oak kitchen counter], in a [setting, e.g. bright Scandinavian kitchen] at [time of day, e.g. early morning], soft window light from the left, [supporting props, e.g. a ceramic mug and fresh herbs] slightly out of focus, warm natural color palette, shallow depth of field, editorial magazine style, product in sharp focus, realistic textures --ar 4:5 --style raw --stylize 100 --no text, logo, watermark, people
Notes for you: replace the brackets, keep the product as the clear subject, and increase --stylize for a more artistic look or lower it for a more literal result.
Nano Banana: new background, same subject
Edit the image I uploaded. Keep the main subject, [person / product / pet], exactly as it is: same pose, face, proportions, colors, clothing and every detail. Only replace the background.
New background: [e.g. a sunlit terrace with plants / a minimal concrete studio wall / a snowy mountain road].
Match the lighting of the new scene to the subject: the light should come from [direction], with consistent shadows on the ground and matching color temperature, so the subject looks naturally placed, not cut out.
Keep the edges clean, including hair and fine details.
Do not add any text, extra people or objects in front of the subject. Keep the original aspect ratio and resolution.
Nano Banana: restore an old photo
Restore the old photograph I uploaded.
Tasks:
- Remove scratches, dust, creases and stains.
- Fix fading and gently balance contrast and exposure.
- Sharpen soft details carefully without making faces look artificial.
- [Optional: colorize with natural, period-appropriate colors / keep it black and white].
Very important: keep every person's face, expression, age, hairstyle and clothing exactly the same; do not beautify, slim or change anyone. Do not add or remove people or objects. Keep the original framing and composition.
Output the restored photo at the same aspect ratio, with a natural film grain that still feels authentic to the time period of [approximate decade].
Flux poster with readable text
A vertical event poster for [event type, e.g. a community jazz night] with the headline text "[YOUR HEADLINE]" in large, bold [font style, e.g. condensed sans-serif] letters at the top, and the smaller text "[DATE AND PLACE]" at the bottom. Main illustration: [central image, e.g. a saxophone made of flowing neon lines] in the center.
Style: [e.g. flat retro screen-print look], limited palette of [3 colors], strong contrast, generous margins, clean layout with nothing overlapping the text.
Requirements: spell the text exactly as written in quotes, keep all words legible, no extra words or fake logos. Aspect ratio 2:3.
Flat icon set for an app
Create a set of [number, e.g. 6] matching icons for a [type of app, e.g. personal finance app], arranged in a neat grid on a plain [background color] background.
Icons: [list, e.g. wallet, savings jar, credit card, bar chart, calendar, bell].
Style rules:
- Flat vector style with rounded corners and a consistent [2px] line weight.
- Same perspective, size and padding for every icon.
- Palette: [primary color] and [accent color] plus white.
- Simple, recognizable shapes that still read well at small sizes.
No text, no letters, no gradients, no shadows, no brand logos. Square 1:1 image with even spacing between the icons.
Food photography for a menu
Professional food photograph of [dish, with key ingredients visible, e.g. a bowl of ramen with soft-boiled egg, scallions and chashu], served on [plate or bowl type] on a [table surface] in a [restaurant style] setting.
Camera: [overhead flat lay / 45-degree angle], 50mm lens look, shallow depth of field with the dish in sharp focus.
Lighting: soft side light from a window, gentle highlights on sauces, natural shadows, [warm / neutral] color grading.
Styling: a few fresh ingredients and a napkin as props, slight steam rising, realistic and appetizing, not plastic-looking.
Constraints: no text, no hands, no logos. Aspect ratio [4:5 for social / 3:2 for a menu].
