Prompt

145 words

Create a highly cinematic and realistic photo of a person using the face from the uploaded image. The person is sitting inside a car at night, looking out through a rain-covered window. The camera is positioned outside the car, capturing the person through the wet glass. Raindrops and streaks of water are clearly visible on the window, with reflections of city lights, neon signs, and passing cars blending into the glass. The person’s face is softly lit by ambient street lights and subtle interior car lighting, creating a moody and emotional expression. The background outside is blurred with colorful bokeh lights (red, blue, yellow), giving a deep cinematic feel. The person is wearing a modern outfit like a hoodie or jacket. The mood feels introspective and film-like. Ultra realistic photography, shallow depth of field, dramatic lighting, reflections, rain texture, Hollywood movie scene composition, high detail.

How to use this prompt

1Open Nanobanana in the image tool you already use.
2Upload the reference photo first. This prompt opens with “Create a highly cinematic and realistic photo of a person using the face from the uploaded image.”, so the subject is expected to come from that image.
3Paste the prompt exactly as written. Do not summarise it: the ordering of the clauses is what keeps the composition stable.
4Generate once, then change a single phrase per attempt. Start with the subject clause rather than rewriting the whole prompt.

What to change first

Lighting is pinned to neon. Swap that phrase to move the scene to a different time of day or light source.
The lens and framing cue is bokeh. Changing it alters depth of field and how much of the scene stays in focus.
The colour direction is neon. Replace only that word to move the grade without touching the composition.
The opening clause — “Create a highly cinematic and realistic photo of a person using the face from the uploaded image.” — fixes the subject; the rest is styling. Swap the subject and the style stays; swap the style words and the subject stays.
