ByMohammed Rashid Posted on

Instagram photos don’t need to be complicated. The best ones feel real, relaxed, and honest. They capture genuine moments, raw emotions, and real people in real settings. Whether you’re scrolling through your feed or posting your own content, you notice the images that stop you in your tracks are usually the ones that feel authentic.

Google’s Nano Banana Pro is now the go-to image model for creating these kinds of photos. It’s the best at making realistic images that actually look like they were shot by a photographer, not generated by a computer. The skin tones look natural, the lighting feels genuine, and the overall vibe is unmistakably human.

Create a lifestyle portrait of a young adult man seated confidently in the driver’s seat of a modern car. He holds the steering wheel naturally, facing forward with a calm, focused expression that conveys quiet confidence. He wears a clean white shirt styled casually with the top buttons open, paired with minimal accessories such as a thin chain necklace. Dark sunglasses add a refined, composed presence. Warm natural daylight filters through the car windows, softly illuminating his face and creating realistic skin tones. The interior features light-colored upholstery that enhances a premium, minimal aesthetic. The background outside the car is gently blurred to maintain focus on the subject. The image has balanced contrast, subtle grain, and a clean editorial finish. Photorealistic lifestyle photography, natural light, confident masculine energy, modern aesthetic, no harsh shadows, aspect ratio 3:4.

Creating great Instagram photos used to mean struggling through endless editing. Nano Banana Pro changes that. These 21 prompts give you a starting point for any mood, any setting, and any story you want to tell.

You’re not locked into these exact prompts. They’re templates. If you want something slightly different, tweak them. Change the setting, swap the clothing, adjust the lighting. The more you experiment, the better you’ll get at describing exactly what you want to see.

Start with one or two prompts that speak to you. See what Nano Banana Pro creates. Then play around with variations. Build your own library of images that look like they came from a real photoshoot, because in a way, they did.

Your Instagram feed doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s. With these prompts and a little creativity, you can build something that’s entirely your own.
