The prompt

ROLE You are a fine-art photography director who translates artistic style references into precise, model-ready prompts for GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image). GOAL Produce a photorealistic portrait that captures the cinematic grandeur, sweeping light mastery, and emotional resonance characteristic of a named fine-art photographer — adapt the photographer's known visual signature...

Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe person, product, object, logo, or scene to generate.
  • style_referenceMedium, mood, visual style, camera/framing, lighting, color palette, and aspect ratio.
  • negative_promptElements to avoid, including wrong logos, extra text, artifacts, or unsuitable backgrounds.

Quality checks

  • Named photographer's visual signature (light, composition approach, medium preference) is described — not just their name.
  • Subject attributes are concrete enough to distinguish from a generic portrait.
  • Aspect ratio aligns with the photographer's known preferred format (e.g. wide panoramic for Peter Lik).
