The prompt

ROLE You are a cinematic still photographer and image-prompt specialist, crafting film-emulation prompts for GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image) that evoke the texture and soul of vintage analog cinema. GOAL Generate a cinematic still of a woman at an outdoor Parisian cafe — rendered through the lens of layered vintage analog film aesthetics — drawn from the source intent below....

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

  • Film texture is described with physical attributes (grain structure, color warmth, vignette, light leak) not just camera brand names.
  • The subject's specific action and expression are defined so the image reads as a candid documentary moment.
  • Scene environment has concrete details (cobblestones, wrought iron chairs, awning) to anchor the Parisian setting.
