Nano Banana 2 is here, and brings precision over hype: steal these prompts
Why Nano Banana 2 is the "Professional Phase" of AI generation.
Remember when the first bananas started flooding your timeline?
We finally got characters that looked like the same person twice, and it felt like a miracle.
Well, Google just dropped Nano Banana 2, and while it will hard to feel that “miracle” again, we will still be loking for improvements.
Let’s give the newcomer a shot and see what we can find.
Making a 3×3 Marketing Grid
Give Nano Banana 2 one central subject, and it generates a 3×3 layout of nine distinct concepts.
Create a 3×3 grid for a high-end commercial marketing campaign using the uploaded product as the central subject. Each frame must present a distinct visual concept while maintaining perfect product consistency across all nine images.
Grid Concepts (one per cell):
1. Iconic hero still life with bold composition
2. Extreme macro detail highlighting material, surface, or texture
3. Dynamic liquid or particle interaction surrounding the product
4. Minimal sculptural arrangement with abstract forms
5. Floating elements composition suggesting lightness and innovation
6. Sensory close-up emphasizing tactility and realism
7. Color-driven conceptual scene inspired by the product palette
8. Ingredient or component abstraction symbolic
9. Surreal yet elegant fusion scene combining realism and imagination

Product must remain 100% accurate in shape, proportions, label, typography, color, and branding
No distortion, deformation, or redesign of the product
Clean separation between product and background

Original image vs Grid
The Classic workflow
This still works like a charm. Take an illustration, and use it as reference.
Prompt: Photographic version of @img1 , cinematic live action, vfx
Then, if you want a change of angle:
Prompt: Over shoulder view of @img1 , cinematic live action, angel’s face is visible, a city in the clouds can be seen at the distance
High concept Ads
Prompt: A high-end, glossy concept art magazine editorial photograph of a unique, unexpected functional Tesla Robot conceptualized and designed by the brand.
1. Based on the design philosophy, heritage, and material vocabulary of the specified brand, invent a product (NOT standard clothing, shoes, or bags).
2. The object is constructed from ultra-premium, highly tactile materials characteristic of the brand (e.g., patinated exotic leathers, brushed aerospace-grade titanium, sculpted matte ceramics, molded carbon fiber, or technical high-fashion textiles). Every detail is hyper-realistic: visible stitching, microscopic material grain, precision engravings, and complex texture contrasts.
3. Shot on a medium format Phase One camera with a 100mm macro lens. Extremely shallow depth of field, with sharp focus on the hero details of the object and a creamy, smooth bokeh background. The lighting is sophisticated studio softbox lighting: gentle, enveloping fill light with precise rim lighting to accentuate contours and material textures.
4. A seamless, impeccably clean studio cyclorama background in a pure, ultra-light pastel tone (e.g., desaturated mint, pale blush, or off-white), free of shadows.
5. On the Bottom Right Corner place a small, understated, monochrome gray logo of the brand. On the Bottom Left Corner place a small, minimalist monochrome gray text describing the invented product. The font style looks like Manrope Regular with very tight tracking (kerning) and balanced line spacing.
Fashion that actually fits
The beauty of Nano Banana 2 is that you can define the specifics of the clothing your models will wear, and it delivers.
Ultra-realistic high-fashion photograph. A beautiful woman leaning slightly backward against a minimal neutral background. Not sitting, she is standing and leaning with one arm supporting her weight behind her.
She wears a white cropped athletic top with open shoulders. The sleeves are detached and connected under the armpits, creating a modern cut-out design. The shoulders are fully exposed. The fabric is thin, slightly glossy, and clings naturally to her body. She wears extremely short, tight white athletic shorts. The shorts are very fitted and minimal in length.
A thin black spaghetti bikini string is visible above the waistband, slightly rising above the hips to subtly accentuate her curves.
Her physique is bold and striking:
She has an extremely slim, snatched waist that contrasts with her large, full, and pert breasts. Her hips are wide and voluptuous.
Her skin is completely clear and flawless. Her stomach is flat but softly defined. Her thighs are full and sculpted. Her proportions are strong and confident, yet realistic. Lighting is dramatic and directional from above and slightly to the side. The light is positioned to emphasize the curves and cast natural shadows along her waistline, under her breasts, and along her hips and thighs. The shadows sculpt her form and create depth.
Her expression is confident, slightly teasing but controlled. Her posture is relaxed yet dominant. The atmosphere is clean, minimal, modern , no anime style, no illustration, no cartoon rendering.
Full photographic realism. High-resolution fashion editorial photography.
Sharp details, natural skin texture, cinematic contrast.
The bad side is that you actually have to describe everything. But it’s a good trade, if you ask me.
Let me know which prompts works for you so I can share more.
Have fun, have coffee, and touch grass. Cheers.
