15 Gemini Prompts for Mirror Selfies (Boys)
Mirror selfies have become my go-to way to capture moments when the lighting is just right or when I want full control over the shot. There’s something about the mirror that gives you that raw, honest vibe, no need for someone else to hold the camera, no awkward angles.
But here’s the thing: getting that perfect mirror selfie can be tricky. Sometimes the lighting’s off, or the mirror itself shows up in the frame and ruins the whole aesthetic. That’s where AI comes in handy.
Google’s Nano Banana image model in Gemini is seriously good at editing photos. I have been playing around with it, and I was shocked at how well it handles photo adjustments and edits.
The process is simple. Head to gemini.google.com, or open your Gemini app, start a new chat, attach your photo, and use any of the prompts below. Want to remove the mirror from your shot? Just add “don’t show mirror” to the prompt, and it’ll handle it.
