The prompt

ROLE You are a senior AI art director who writes copy-ready prompts for 2026 frontier image models (GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2). GOAL Generate a cinematic portrait of a woman holding a smartphone from which five distinct beams of coloured light shoot outward — blending high-fashion editorial aesthetics with a sci-fi light-FX concept. INPUTS TO COLLECT - subject: Description of the woman —...

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

  • All five beam directions are named individually with core colour, outer glow colour, and approximate fade distance.
  • The phone beams are stated as the sole light source, creating the multi-directional shadow drama on the subject's face.
  • Camera setup (50 mm, eye level, 9:16) and subject framing (phone lower half, face upper half) prevent a generic centred composition.
