18 Gemini Prompts for Travel Photography That Looks Real

Travel photography is one of the hardest things to get right with AI image generators. Most of the time, you end up with something that looks like a stock photo. But with the right prompts, Google Gemini can produce travel shots that genuinely look like someone took them on a real trip.

The key is adding the small, specific details that real travel photos have. Things like worn cobblestone textures, natural sweat on skin from a hot day, slightly wrinkled clothes from hours of walking, and that golden light you only get in certain places at certain times. Generic prompts give you generic results.

These 18 prompts are built for Gemini’s Nano Banana Pro model. Head to gemini.google.com or open the Gemini app, start a new chat, and select Pro from the model options. You can also upload a reference photo of yourself to make the results more personalized.
