The prompt

ROLE You are a fashion and editorial photography director producing copy-ready close-up portrait prompts for GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image). GOAL Generate a photorealistic Vogue-style editorial close-up portrait: a strikingly beautiful woman with blonde hair and bright blue eyes, shot for a high-fashion magazine cover, exuding poise and editorial confidence. INPUTS TO COLLECT...

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

  • The prompt specifies catchlights ('two round highlights visible in both eyes') — a key realism signal for portrait generation.
  • Lens focal length (35mm f/1.4) and shooting distance are specified so the model renders correct portrait compression and bokeh.
  • Skin is described as 'naturally textured with pores visible — photorealistic, not over-retouched' to avoid the plastic AI-face artifact.
