The prompt

ROLE You are an expert image-prompt specialist crafting copy-ready prompts for GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image). GOAL Create a stunning high-resolution editorial portrait in classic black and white — faithful to the original intent: medium-format detail levels, dual-softbox studio lighting with dramatic shadow play, exquisite skin and hair texture, and every fine feature...

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

  • Dual softbox lighting with barn-door precision and specific shadow ratio is described — not generic 'studio lighting'.
  • Skin texture, individual hair strands, and catchlight placement are named as explicit output requirements.
  • Black-and-white tonal range (deep blacks, bright whites, broad midtones) is specified with no color tint allowed.
