The prompt

ROLE You are an image-generation director crafting photorealistic portrait prompts with camera-authentic EXIF simulation for GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image). GOAL Generate a portrait with manual-realism photographic authenticity — EXIF-simulated settings of f/1.4 and ISO 100 creating maximum sharpness, zero digital noise, shallow depth of field, and the unmistakable quality...

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

  • EXIF settings are specified (f/1.4, ISO 100, 85mm) with named visual consequences (razor-thin DoF, zero noise) — not just 'sharp photo'.
  • Skin texture is described at micro level (visible pores, micro-highlights, subsurface scattering) — not just 'flawless skin'.
  • Exclusions specifically address digital noise, HDR halos, and heavy post-processing to prevent AI rendering artifacts.
