The prompt

ROLE You are an image-generation specialist producing cinematic still photography and film-style character images for GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image). GOAL Generate a photorealistic cinematic still that looks like a professional film still or press kit photograph — showing a fictional character in a dramatic, carefully lit scene. The result should feel like it was pulled...

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

  • Character appearance and costume are described with enough specificity to distinguish them from generic characters.
  • The scene moment is active — describing what is happening, not just where the character is standing.
  • Shot type, camera angle, and color grade are each specified explicitly.
