Have you ever wished your normal photo could look like a professional cinematic photoshoot? Imagine standing in front of a modern grey wall, soft foliage and flowers framing the scene, with DSLR-level clarity capturing every detail. With today’s AI tools, this is easier than ever. Using Gemini Nano Banana, we tested this prompt and transformed a simple reference photo into a hyper-realistic portrait with AI, that feels like it came straight from a magazine cover. The best part? You don’t need an expensive camera or studio—just the right AI prompt and a bit of creativity.
Before & After (Image Section)


- Before: Just a simple reference picture, nothing too fancy.
- After: The AI-generated image feels cinematic—sharp, realistic, and natural. You can see the subject smiling confidently, relaxed against the modern wall, with greenery and pink flowers adding depth and warmth.
This “before vs. after” transformation makes the final result look like a real professional outdoor photoshoot.
Hyper-Realistic Portrait with AI Prompt
Generate a hyper-realistic portrait of the uploaded reference person, face matched 100% with no alteration. He is standing against a dark grey wall, with green foliage and pink flowers hanging overhead. Outfit: oversized soft-colored shirt with the top buttons undone, paired with denim pants, a watch on his left hand. Pose: relaxed, confident slight smile directly at the camera, one hand in his pocket. Lighting: natural daylight with soft shadows, cinematic tones, sharp focus on the subject with slight background blur. Professional DSLR aesthetic, ultra-detailed realism.
Details & Variations You Can Try
- Aspect Ratios:
- 1:1 for Instagram posts.
- 9:16 for stories or reels.
- 3:2 for a classic portrait look.
- Outfits: Try formal wear for a more professional look, or streetwear for casual vibes.
- Lighting: Shift from daylight to golden hour for warmer tones, or low light for a moody cinematic effect.
- Pose & Expression: Instead of smiling, try a thoughtful gaze or candid laugh to change the vibe.
- Mood & Colors: Adjust tones—soft pastel for a dreamy effect, or high contrast for a bold statement.
Tips & Tricks
- Always upload a clear, full-body or upper-body reference photo—avoid cropped selfies. This helps AI maintain body proportions naturally.
- If the subject looks out of place, try reducing face enhancements or regenerate multiple times for better blending.
- Sometimes, swapping the reference image brings more natural results.
- When I tested this prompt with Gemini Nano Banana, I noticed that shifting the flower color from pink to yellow added a completely fresh mood, almost like spring vibes.
