15 Gemini Cinematic Prompts for Women

I’ve been playing around with Google’s new Nano Banana image model lately, and I’m genuinely impressed with what it can do.

If you love cinematic photography but don’t have access to professional equipment or editing software, this tool is a game-changer. The Nano Banana model handles photo editing really well, creating those magazine-quality, film-like images you see on Instagram.

How to Use These Prompts

Getting started is simple. Head over to gemini.google.com, start a new chat, and upload your photo. Then copy and paste any of the prompts below.

You can also use aistudio.google.com and select Nano Banana from the model options.

I tested all 15 of these prompts myself, and the results were consistently good. Each one creates a different mood and style, so you can match the vibe you’re going for.

1. Urban Motion Blur

Create a dynamic street-scene portrait of a young woman walking through a crowded urban environment. Her hair moves slightly with her motion, and her expression is calm, thoughtful, and focused straight ahead. She wears a dark, buttoned shirt tucked into high-waisted, soft earth-toned trousers, with a brown shoulder bag hanging at her side. The background is filled with fast-moving pedestrians rendered in a dramatic motion blur, creating a strong contrast between her stillness and the surrounding rush. The depth of field isolates her sharply while the crowd dissolves into streaks of color and movement. The lighting is soft and diffused, giving the entire scene a cinematic, contemplative feel.

2. City Lights at Night

3. Neon Noir Portrait

Create a moody, cinematic night portrait of a young woman standing beside a chain-link fence. She has long, straight dark hair with full bangs framing her face. Her expression is calm, slightly enigmatic, as she turns her head subtly toward the camera. A cool, bluish overhead light casts a stark glow on her hair and the top of her head, while a contrasting red-tinted light washes softly across her eyes and upper cheeks, creating a dramatic dual-tone lighting effect. She wears a black leather jacket that reflects hints of the surrounding light. The background fades into deep shadows with only faint, blurred hints of distant lights. The overall mood is atmospheric and introspective, blending neon-noir aesthetics with a quiet sense of isolation and urban nighttime energy.

4. Metro Station Moment

Create a cinematic, atmospheric scene set in an underground metro station. A young woman stands in front of a rapidly passing yellow train, its motion captured as a soft blur of warm tones and streaked windows. She leans back slightly against a metal railing with her arms extended on both sides, creating an open, balanced posture. She wears an oversized, light-colored button-up shirt with the top buttons undone, paired with dark trousers. Her hair is slightly tousled, and she gazes upward and to her right with a thoughtful, almost searching expression. The lighting is moody and diffused, blending the cool shadows of the station with the golden reflections bouncing off the train. The overall mood is introspective, cinematic, and quietly dramatic, emphasizing motion, solitude, and the fleeting nature of urban moments.

Create a bright, joyful outdoor portrait of a young woman standing near a waterfront under an overcast sky. She beams with a wide, genuine smile, her expression full of warmth and energy. Her long, dark hair is windswept, with lively strands lifting and swirling in the breeze. She wears a vibrant orange crop top paired with a lightweight, matching orange windbreaker, its loose fabric catching the wind and adding a sense of motion.

Soft, muted mountains and a hint of a coastal town sit blurred in the background, giving the scene a sense of open air and seaside freedom. The color palette combines warm oranges with cool, cloudy blues, creating a striking contrast that emphasizes her upbeat presence. The overall mood is fresh, energetic, spontaneous, and full of life.

She wears an oversized brown coat, giving her a slightly bundled, introspective look. Her makeup is dramatic, with deep red lipstick and softly smudged eye makeup that enhances the emotional tone of the scene. She looks off to the side with a distant, contemplative expression, as if listening for something or lost in thought.

A few loose strands of her hair move gently in the damp air. The overall mood is melancholic, cinematic, and intimate, capturing the quiet stillness of a rainy urban moment.

8. Underwater Serenity

Create a close-up underwater portrait of a young woman submerged just below the surface, with her face filling most of the frame. Soft, wavy patterns of refracted sunlight ripple across her skin, creating intricate lines of golden light that shift with the water’s movement. Tiny air bubbles drift upward around her, adding texture and depth to the scene. Her hair floats gently behind her in dark, weightless strands. Her expression is calm and serene, with her eyes softly open and her lips relaxed. The surrounding water is a clear, cool blue that gradually deepens in tone toward the edges of the frame. The overall mood is ethereal, tranquil, and dreamlike.

Create a striking black-and-white portrait of a young woman with a wild, windswept mass of curly hair partially covering her face. She gazes forward with a calm, defiant expression, a cigarette loosely held between her lips. The lighting is soft and overcast, giving her skin a smooth, natural contrast against the textured curls. She wears a dark, slightly ornate jacket draped over a simple tank top, adding a subtle mix of edge and elegance. The shallow depth of field renders the background into gentle blur, emphasizing her intense presence and the chaotic movement of her hair. The monochrome palette heightens the raw, gritty, cinematic mood.

A woman kneels in flowing sand, wearing a long, textured rust-colored dress with gathered sleeves and a soft, natural drape. She holds a handful of sand out in front of her, letting it stream downward in a delicate cascade, catching the warm evening light. Her expression is serene and introspective, with loose strands of her long hair falling across her face, gently tousled by the desert breeze. Behind her, soft dunes stretch into the distance, forming smooth, sculpted curves that fade into muted tones of beige and shadow. The sky glows with subtle pastels as the sun sets.

She lifts one hand to her head in a spontaneous, raw gesture. She wears an oversized dark coat layered over a hoodie, the fabric damp and heavy from the rain. The background is blurred into golden streaks and reflections, with puddles on the pavement shimmering under the streetlight.

Their heads rest gently against each other, eyes closed, with peaceful, content expressions. The woman’s long, wavy hair fans softly across the leaves, catching warm, golden-hour light.
