Have you ever wished your everyday photo could look like it came straight out of a fashion magazine? With AI image generation, it’s now easier than ever to turn a simple reference picture into a polished editorial-style portrait. By using tools like Gemini Nano Banana, you can transform your casual clicks into a cinematic Couple Portrait with AI. For this blog, we used Nano Banana to bring a romantic garden-inspired couple portrait to life.
Before & After: From Reference to Editorial Magic
Think of it this way: your reference photo is the “before”—a normal capture of your face. The AI-generated result is the “after”—a hyper-realistic editorial portrait where outfits, background, and mood are fully reimagined while keeping your identity intact.
This transformation feels like stepping into a styled magazine shoot without leaving your home.
Couple Portrait with AI Prompt
Here’s the exact AI image generation prompt we used:
Use the uploaded reference image strictly for the boy’s face, ensuring 100% exact facial match. Generate an editorial-style portrait of a young Indian man and a glamorous young woman seated close together on a stone bench in a lush green garden.
Boy’s Look: Sharp, stylish outfit — tailored blazer in muted tones, crisp shirt, slim-fit trousers, and polished shoes. Confident yet relaxed posture, sitting slightly angled toward her.
Girl’s Look: Radiant glowing skin, long wavy black-brown hair, warm playful smile. She wears a chic elegant outfit — pastel-colored flowy dress with delicate jewelry, perfectly complementing the natural garden setting.
Scene & Mood: The couple sits close, exuding soft romantic chemistry. Background: lush greenery, colorful flower beds softly blurred with shallow depth of field (bokeh). Natural diffused sunlight filters through the foliage, creating flattering soft shadows and warm highlights on their faces and fabrics.
Style & Quality: Ultra-realistic editorial fashion photography look. Captured on Canon EOS R5 with RF 85mm f/1.2L lens, ISO 200, f/1.8, 1/400s. Soft pastel tones, cinematic color grading, 8K ultra-detailed textures.
Important: Boy’s face must exactly replicate the reference image with no distortion. Girl’s features remain consistent dreamy aesthetic across outputs.
Variations You Can Try
One of the best things about AI photoshoots is flexibility. You can tweak small details for new results:
- Aspect Ratio – Try 4:5 for Instagram portraits, 16:9 for cinematic wallpapers, or 1:1 for profile pictures.
- Outfits – Experiment with casual denim looks, formal suits, or cultural wear.
- Lighting – Soft golden-hour glow, dramatic neon city lights, or classic black-and-white tones.
- Poses & Expressions – Gentle smiles, serious editorial looks, or candid laughter.
- Mood & Colors – Pastel, monochrome, bold cinematic, or warm vintage hues.
Other Results I get:
After some tweaks, you can also achieve your desired pose, mood, and closeness to make your photo even more awesome. See these results as I also get by tweaking the prompt.
Tips & Tricks for Best Results
- Always use a clear reference photo with good lighting.
- Keep outfits and settings simple in the prompt for sharper results.
- Small tweaks in lighting direction can dramatically change mood.
- When I tested this prompt, shifting the light source to the left gave softer shadows that made the portrait feel even more cinematic.
- Don’t forget to save your favorite variations—sometimes the second or third output feels the most natural.
