Forget photo studio and learn to generate astonishing images with AI

 You can create images with Google Nano Banana (the nickname for Gemini image models) by uploading reference pictures within the Gemini app. This is used to guide the AI with styles, compositions, or character looks.

Here is a simple step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Access the Tool

· Open the Gemini app on your phone or go to gemini.google.com on the web.

· Tap the "Create images" or image icon to start.

Step 2: Upload Your Reference Picture

· Look for the "Upload" button (often a + or paperclip icon).

· Select your reference picture from your device. Nano Banana Pro can use up to 8 images as a reference to blend styles and maintain consistency. But today will shall be using one 

Step 3: Write Your Prompt

· In the text box, describe the new image you want. Be specific.

· Mention your reference in the prompt. For example:

  A high-end studio portrait using the uploaded photo as the main subject. The person stands confidently against a clean, minimal background in soft neutral tones, with hands positioned as if holding an invisible frame, standing before a projected smoke art display. The display features an artistic reinterpretation of the same uploaded photo — ephemeral face formed in colored smoke or fog (purple, blue, white wisps), mysterious atmospheric effect, transient vapor patterns, backlit smoke creating luminous edges, ethereal and dreamlike quality — clearly recognizable as the same face. Professional studio lighting with a soft key light and subtle rim light creates gentle shadows and depth, complementing the smoke's atmospheric glow and swirling motion. The subject's expression is calm and confident, body posture relaxed yet strong, evoking a modern personal brand identity. Clean composition, balanced framing, premium editorial aesthetic, shallow depth of field, ultra-realistic skin texture, crisp details, contemporary creator branding vibe, cinematic realism, high resolution.
