15 Gemini Nano Banana Pro Prompts for Hyper Realistic Photos

ByMohammed Rashid Posted on

I’ve been playing around with AI image generation for a while now, and I have to say, the results keep getting better. Hyper realistic photos are images that look almost indistinguishable from real camera shots. They capture genuine details that matter: skin pores, natural wrinkles, fabric texture, real lighting conditions, and authentic human expressions.

These aren’t typical AI images. These are photos that could honestly pass as something you took with your phone or camera. The difference between a good AI image and a hyper realistic one comes down to the prompts you use and the model you choose.

The Nano Banana Pro is now the go-to for creating realistic photos. It handles skin tones properly, respects lighting physics, and captures those tiny details that make photos feel authentic.

I’ve tested it against other models, and this one simply performs better for realistic portraits and lifestyle shots.

How to Use These Prompts

Here’s the process I follow every time:

  • Go to gemini.google.com
  • Start a new conversation
  • Select “Pro” from the model dropdown
  • Paste the prompt below
  • If you want, upload a reference photo
  • Hit send and wait for the results

Ready? Let’s go through the prompts.

Middle-Aged Man by Balcony

Create a hyper realistic photo of a middle-aged man standing near a balcony during early morning, shoulders relaxed, gaze directed toward the horizon. He is wearing a slightly creased linen shirt with visible stitching and buttons, and his hair shows natural thinning and uneven texture. Morning sunlight creates warm highlights on his face while soft ambient light fills the shadows. Fine details like skin pores, faint freckles, and light wrinkles are visible. The background shows distant buildings and sky with realistic atmospheric haze and shallow depth of field. Use aspect ratio 3:4.

He is wearing a thick, pilled wool sweater. The background includes a misty, out-of-focus ocean. Shot on a Leica M10 Monochrom (but in color), 35mm lens, f/5.6 for a slightly wider depth of field. The image should feel like a National Geographic feature. Use aspect ratio 3:4.

These prompts work because they focus on real details. They mention skin texture, fabric wear, lighting conditions, and the tiny imperfections that make photos feel genuine.

Start with whichever scenario speaks to you. If you get results you like, tweak small details in the prompt and run it again. That’s how I’ve gotten the best shots. The model responds well to specific requests about lighting and texture, so don’t be shy about asking for exactly what you want.
