Bring Your Selfies to Life with AI
Have you ever dreamed of seeing yourself in a cinematic photoshoot that feels straight out of a magazine or a Bollywood film? Imagine you are sitting on a lotus-filled river, listening to music, and looking effortlessly stylish – without ever leaving your home. With the power of tools like Gemini Nano Banana (yes, we used Nano Banana for this one), you can turn a simple photo into a professional masterpiece. And the secret behind it all is choosing the right Trending AI photo prompt.
This blog will guide you through how we created a hyper-realistic cinematic river photoshoot – and how you can do the same.
Images – Before & After


- Before: A regular reference image of the face.
- After: An 8K UHD cinematic portrait of a young Indian man, sitting relaxed on a boat surrounded by blooming lotus flowers, styled like a luxury editorial photoshoot.
The transformation feels almost magical – yet it’s all thanks to the right Trending AI photo prompt.
Trending AI Photo Prompt
Here’s the exact technical prompt we used:
Use my exact face from the uploaded reference. Create a cinematic hyper-realistic photoshoot of a young Indian man with a lean, skinny build, sitting slightly relaxed on a boat in a river full of blooming lotus flowers. He wears an unbuttoned light pink shirt over cream cargo pants, a watch on his wrist, a small silver chain on his neck, and white stylish sneakers. He is wearing a headset, eyes slightly closed, enjoying music while gazing calmly at the sky. The mood is serene and soulful, with soft natural golden-hour light, reflective water shimmer, dreamy floral surroundings, and premium cinematic depth in 8K UHD detail.
Details & Variations You Can Try
- Aspect Ratio / Size – Square (1:1) for Instagram, Portrait (9:16) for Reels, or Landscape (16:9) for desktop wallpapers.
- Outfits – Switch to traditional kurta pajama, casual streetwear, or even luxury tux for different vibes.
- Lighting – Try golden hour for warmth, or moonlight for a mystical effect.
- Pose & Expression – Smiling, looking away, or interacting with the lotus flowers for more natural moods.
- Colors – Soft pastel tones for dreamy vibes, or bold contrast for a dramatic editorial look.
Tips & Tricks
- Always upload a clear, well-lit reference photo for the best face match.
- Play around with background details – water reflections, extra flowers, or sky colors can change the entire feel.
- When I tested this prompt, adding a bit more sunset glow gave the portrait a softer cinematic warmth that looked straight out of a magazine cover.
