These are 26 complete, paste-ready image prompts for Nano Banana Pro — Google's Gemini 3 Pro Image model — built for product photography. Each one reads like a creative director's brief: subject, set, explicit studio lighting, a real lens, background, mood, and an "Aspect ratio X:Y" line with a 2K/4K resolution call where it matters. Paste any prompt into the Gemini app, swap in your product name, and attach reference photos of your real item to keep it consistent.

Beauty & skincare
Skincare and cosmetics sell on texture, glass, and clean light. These five prompts lean on soft diffusion, macro detail, and dewy droplets. Use Nano Banana Pro and attach a photo of your real bottle so the shape and label stay true.
1. Minimalist Serum Bottle on Stone
A frosted-glass serum dropper bottle standing on a smooth beige travertine stone slab, photographed as a premium skincare hero shot. Soft overcast diffusion from a large overhead softbox with a subtle rim light separating the bottle from the background, gentle contact shadow beneath. A single sprig of eucalyptus rests out of focus in the foreground. Neutral warm-taupe seamless background, calm and clinical-luxury mood. Shot on 85mm f/1.4, shallow depth of field, crisp reflections on the glass. Aspect ratio 4:5, 4K.Why it works: Naming travertine, a real softbox, and an 85mm f/1.4 gives Nano Banana the exact material, light, and depth-of-field cues that read as an expensive studio shot.
2. Cream Jar With Water Droplets
A matte ceramic moisturizer jar with the lid off, fresh water droplets beaded across the glossy surface, shot in extreme close-up. Three-point softbox setup with a bright key light from the left, soft fill on the right, and a hair light catching the rim of the lid. Cool blue-grey seamless background with a faint gradient. Fresh, hydrating, spa-clean mood. Shot on macro 100mm, razor-sharp focus on the droplets, creamy background blur. Aspect ratio 1:1, 2K.Best for: Hydration and "freshness" claims — the macro 100mm and beaded droplets make the moisture the hero of the frame.
3. Lipstick Chiaroscuro Hero
A luxury bullet lipstick in a polished gold case, cap removed and standing beside it, lit with dramatic chiaroscuro and harsh high contrast. A single hard key light rakes across the case from the upper right, deep shadows fall to black, one crisp specular highlight runs down the gold. Glossy black acrylic surface with a mirror reflection below. Bold, editorial, high-fashion mood. Shot on 85mm f/1.4, shallow depth of field. Aspect ratio 4:5, 4K.Why it works: Chiaroscuro plus a mirror-reflection acrylic base is exactly the theatrical lighting cosmetics ads use to make gold and gloss pop.
4. Skincare Flat-Lay With Botanicals
A top-down flat-lay of a three-piece skincare set — cleanser, serum, and moisturizer — arranged on a cream linen backdrop with scattered dried chamomile flowers and a folded sage-green towel. Soft overcast diffusion, even and shadowless, with a faint natural window glow from the top-left. Airy, organic, wellness-brand mood. Shot on 50mm, everything in sharp focus, natural muted colour palette. Aspect ratio 1:1, 2K.Best for: Instagram grid and set shots — the even overhead diffusion keeps every product legible while botanicals add lifestyle warmth.
5. Perfume Bottle Golden-Hour Glow
A faceted glass perfume bottle with an amber liquid, standing on a windowsill in warm golden-hour backlighting with long soft shadows stretching across a pale marble surface. Sunlight refracts through the glass and casts caustic light patterns on the wall behind. Dreamy, warm, luxury-fragrance mood. Shot on 85mm f/1.4, shallow depth of field, glowing rim light on the bottle edges. Aspect ratio 3:2, 4K.Why it works: Golden-hour backlighting through faceted glass produces the caustic light play that makes fragrance shots feel warm and premium.
Food & drink
Food photography lives on freshness cues — steam, condensation, gloss, and a shallow focus that isolates the hero. These five prompts pair appetite-driving light with macro detail.
6. Fresh Coffee Pour With Steam
A rustic ceramic mug of black coffee on a weathered walnut table, mid-pour from a steaming pour-over kettle, wisps of visible steam rising into the light. Backlit with warm golden-hour light from a low window on the right, rim-lighting the steam against a dark moody background. Cozy, artisanal café mood. Shot on 50mm f/1.8, shallow depth of field, warm amber tones. Aspect ratio 4:5, 2K.Best for: Hot drinks — backlighting is the only reliable way to make steam visible, and it instantly signals fresh and hot.
7. Craft Cocktail With Ice and Citrus
A craft cocktail in a cut-crystal coupe glass, clear ice sphere inside, a twist of orange peel and a sprig of thyme as garnish, set on a dark slate bar. Moody low-key lighting with a single softbox key from the left and a subtle blue rim light catching the crystal facets, deep shadows. Condensation beads on the glass. Sophisticated speakeasy mood. Shot on 85mm f/1.4, shallow depth of field. Aspect ratio 4:5, 4K.Why it works: Low-key light plus a rim on the crystal makes the facets and ice sparkle, the detail that sells a premium cocktail.
8. Gourmet Burger Macro
A gourmet double cheeseburger with melted cheddar, fresh lettuce, and a toasted brioche bun, photographed at a low 15-degree hero angle on a matte black plate. Soft directional key light from the upper left with a warm fill, a subtle rim light glinting off the glossy bun. Steam and a few sesame seeds add life. Dark rustic background, appetizing and indulgent mood. Shot on macro 100mm, shallow depth of field on the front of the burger. Aspect ratio 3:2, 4K.Best for: Menu and delivery-app hero shots — the low angle and glossy highlights maximise perceived size and freshness.
9. Chocolate Bar Split Macro
A dark chocolate bar snapped in half mid-air, one piece falling, crumbs and cocoa dust suspended around it, captured in extreme macro. Crisp hard key light from the right rakes across the fractured texture to reveal the matte snap and glossy edges, deep controlled shadows. Warm brown seamless background. Rich, artisanal, indulgent mood. Shot on macro 100mm, high shutter to freeze the falling piece, tack-sharp texture. Aspect ratio 1:1, 4K.Why it works: A raking hard light is what reveals the fracture texture and snap of chocolate — flat light would flatten the whole thing.
10. Cold Brew Can in Condensation
A matte-finish cold brew coffee can standing on wet grey concrete, covered in fresh condensation droplets, a few ice cubes scattered at its base. Bright three-point softbox setup, cool daylight balance, a clean specular highlight running down the can and a soft contact shadow. Minimal grey seamless background. Crisp, refreshing, modern-beverage mood. Shot on 85mm f/1.4, shallow depth of field. Aspect ratio 4:5, 2K. Keep the can label exactly as in the attached reference image.Best for: Canned and bottled drinks — the condensation reads as ice-cold, and the reference-image line keeps your real branding intact.
Tech & gadgets
Electronics reward clean, controlled reflections and edge lighting on brushed metal and glass. These four prompts range from a dramatic edge-lit hero to a lived-in desk scene.
11. Smartphone Edge-Lit Hero
A flagship smartphone standing upright at a slight angle, floating just above a dark reflective surface, screen glowing with a subtle abstract wallpaper. Dramatic edge lighting with two blue-and-white rim lights tracing both metal edges against a near-black gradient background, a soft mirror reflection below. Sleek, futuristic, premium-tech mood. Shot on 85mm f/1.4, shallow depth of field, flawless clean reflections. Aspect ratio 16:9, 4K.Why it works: Twin rim lights on a dark background is the signature look of phone launch imagery — it defines the metal edges without any glare.
12. Wireless Earbuds on Acrylic
A pair of wireless earbuds resting in their open charging case on a frosted white acrylic riser, small LED glowing. Clean three-point softbox setup, bright and even, with a soft gradient falloff on a pure white background and a delicate contact shadow. Minimal, clinical, Apple-style product mood. Shot on macro 100mm, sharp focus on the earbuds, subtle glossy reflections. Aspect ratio 1:1, 4K.Best for: Small-electronics listings — the soft, even softbox light keeps tiny glossy products clean and shadow-free.
13. Mechanical Keyboard Desk Scene
A custom mechanical keyboard with pastel keycaps on a warm wooden desk, a coiled cable, a small potted plant, and a coffee cup blurred in the background — a lived-in lifestyle scene. Soft window daylight from the left with a warm fill, gentle shadows, cozy setup-culture mood. Shallow focus on the keyboard, everything else softly blurred. Shot on 35mm f/2, natural colour grade. Aspect ratio 16:9, 2K.Why it works: A wider 35mm and soft window light create the aspirational desk-setup context that lifestyle tech content thrives on.
14. Smartwatch Macro on Slate
A smartwatch lying at a three-quarter angle on textured dark slate, screen showing a minimal fitness dial, a fluoroelastomer sport band curling naturally. Dramatic single softbox key from the upper right with a cool rim light along the case edge, deep controlled shadows on a charcoal background. Premium, athletic, high-tech mood. Shot on macro 100mm, shallow depth of field, crisp specular highlights on the metal. Aspect ratio 4:5, 4K.Best for: Wearables — macro plus a rim light shows off the case finish and screen while the slate keeps it premium.
Jewelry & luxury
Jewelry is all about sparkle, reflection, and controlled highlights on metal and stone. These four prompts use soft key lights, dark luxe surfaces, and macro focus to make small pieces feel expensive.
15. Diamond Ring on Velvet
A solitaire diamond engagement ring standing upright on deep midnight-blue velvet, the diamond catching sparkling fire and brilliance. A soft key softbox from above with a small hard accent light aimed to trigger sparkle in the stone, gentle falloff into shadow. Elegant, romantic, fine-jewelry mood. Shot on macro 100mm, extreme close-up, tack-sharp on the facets with a soft velvet background. Aspect ratio 1:1, 4K.Why it works: A small hard accent light is the trick jewelers use to make a diamond throw fire; the velvet swallows stray reflections.
16. Gold Watch Chiaroscuro
A luxury gold wristwatch lying on a dark polished marble surface, lit with dramatic chiaroscuro and harsh high contrast. A single controlled key light glances across the case and bracelet to draw a bright specular streak along the gold, everything else falling into rich black. Reflection of the watch mirrored in the marble. Opulent, timeless, high-end mood. Shot on macro 100mm, shallow depth of field. Aspect ratio 3:2, 4K.Best for: Watches and gold pieces — chiaroscuro turns polished metal into a single dramatic highlight instead of a muddled glare.
17. Pearl Necklace on Silk
A strand of lustrous white pearls arranged in a soft loose spiral on champagne-coloured silk with gentle fabric folds. Soft overcast diffusion from a large overhead softbox for even, glowing highlights on each pearl, no harsh shadows. Delicate, refined, bridal-luxury mood. Shot on 85mm f/1.4, shallow depth of field, soft focus falloff along the strand. Aspect ratio 4:5, 4K.Why it works: Pearls need soft, wrapping light to show their glow; the silk folds add movement and a luxe surface without competing.
18. Luxury Handbag Editorial
A structured leather designer handbag standing on a marble pedestal in a minimalist gallery setting, dramatic side lighting from a large softbox that grazes the pebbled leather grain to reveal texture. Warm neutral background with soft shadow gradients, an editorial fashion-campaign mood. Shot on 50mm, medium depth of field, rich colour and fine leather detail. Aspect ratio 4:5, 4K.Best for: Handbags and leather goods — grazing side light exposes the grain and stitching that signal quality craftsmanship.
Fashion & flat-lays
Flat-lays sell an outfit or a kit as a coordinated story. These four top-down prompts use even overhead light and considered arrangement so every item reads clearly.
19. Sneaker Flat-Lay With Accessories
A top-down flat-lay of a pair of clean white sneakers surrounded by coordinated accessories — a folded denim jacket, sunglasses, a watch, and a phone — arranged neatly on a concrete grey backdrop. Even overhead softbox diffusion, soft shadows, balanced daylight colour. Modern streetwear-lookbook mood. Shot on 50mm, everything in sharp focus, negative space for text. Aspect ratio 1:1, 2K.Why it works: Even overhead diffusion keeps every item equally lit and legible, and the negative space leaves room for a caption or price.
20. Folded Knitwear Flat-Lay
A top-down flat-lay of three neatly folded chunky-knit sweaters in oatmeal, sage, and rust, stacked with a leather-bound notebook and a sprig of dried lavender on a warm linen backdrop. Soft window daylight from the top-left with gentle natural shadows that show the knit texture. Cozy, editorial, autumn-catalog mood. Shot on 50mm, sharp focus, muted warm palette. Aspect ratio 4:5, 4K.Best for: Apparel catalogs — slight directional light reveals fabric texture that a perfectly flat, shadowless image would hide.
21. Sunglasses Flat-Lay on Sand
A top-down flat-lay of designer sunglasses resting on smooth beige beach sand with a scallop shell, a sprig of dried grass, and soft ripple textures in the sand. Bright natural midday sun creating crisp small shadows and a warm summer glow, subtle glare on the lenses. Fresh, sunny, vacation-brand mood. Shot on 50mm, sharp focus across the frame. Aspect ratio 1:1, 2K.Why it works: Hard midday sun and warm sand give eyewear an instantly seasonal, lifestyle context that flat studio light cannot.
22. Watch and EDC Flat-Lay
A top-down everyday-carry flat-lay: a field watch, a folding knife, a leather wallet, a fountain pen, and a set of keys arranged in a tidy grid on dark weathered wood. Directional softbox key from the top-left with a soft fill, controlled shadows that add depth and reveal the metal and leather textures. Rugged, masculine, premium-lifestyle mood. Shot on 50mm, sharp focus. Aspect ratio 1:1, 4K.Best for: Accessory and EDC brands — a directional key adds the texture and shadow depth that makes a grid layout feel curated, not flat.
Floating & white-background e-commerce
Marketplaces want clean, isolated products; hero banners want drama. These four prompts cover pure white e-commerce cutouts, floating shots with motion, and packaging with legible label text — the place to reach for reusable templates and, for text-heavy labels, Nano Banana 2.
23. Floating Sneaker White Background
A single running sneaker floating in mid-air at a dynamic three-quarter angle, laces trailing slightly as if frozen in motion, on a pure white seamless background (hex #FFFFFF). Bright, even three-point softbox setup with no harsh shadows, a soft drop shadow directly beneath to ground it. Clean, energetic, premium-athletic e-commerce mood. Shot on 85mm f/1.4, sharp focus across the shoe. Aspect ratio 1:1, 4K.Best for: Product-detail pages that want energy — the float and trailing laces add motion while the pure white keeps it marketplace-ready.
24. Bottle E-Commerce White Background
A single product bottle centered on a pure white seamless background (hex #FFFFFF), photographed straight-on for a clean e-commerce listing. Soft even three-point softbox setup, no harsh shadows, a subtle contact shadow and a faint natural reflection beneath the bottle. Neutral, crisp, catalog-standard mood. Shot on 85mm f/1.4, tack-sharp, accurate colour. Aspect ratio 1:1, 4K. Keep the bottle shape and label exactly as in the attached reference images.Why it works: Pure white, even light, and a subtle contact shadow are exactly what marketplaces require; the reference-image line keeps your real product accurate.
25. Floating Headphones Splash
A pair of over-ear headphones floating in mid-air with a dynamic splash of translucent blue water swirling around them, frozen mid-motion, on a clean light-grey gradient background. Bright three-point softbox setup with a crisp rim light, high shutter to freeze every droplet, subtle reflection below. Bold, energetic, premium-audio hero mood. Shot on 85mm f/1.4, sharp focus on the headphones. Aspect ratio 16:9, 4K.Best for: Hero banners and ads — the frozen splash adds drama and motion that a flat white cutout can't deliver.
26. Packaged Box With Label Text
The word "PURE" in a clean bold sans-serif on the front of a minimalist kraft-paper product box, the box standing at a three-quarter angle on a pale wood surface. Soft three-point softbox setup, warm even light, a gentle contact shadow and a pure off-white background. Natural, sustainable, artisanal-packaging mood. Shot on 50mm, sharp focus on the front label, accurate legible text. Aspect ratio 4:5, 2K.Why it works: The exact word is in quotes, kept to one short ALL-CAPS term with a named font weight and placed at the very start — the reliable recipe for legible text. For heavier packaging copy, switch to Nano Banana 2.
Once a shot is about 80% right, don't regenerate — describe only the change and say what must stay the same, for example "keep the pose, lighting, and background exactly the same; make the background pure white."

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Nano Banana model should I use for product photography?
Use Nano Banana Pro (Google's Gemini 3 Pro Image) as the default for product shots — it reasons about your prompt before generating, so it handles complex lighting, reflections, and materials well, and it renders at 1K, 2K, and 4K. Switch to Nano Banana 2 whenever the image needs to display words, like a legible label, a price badge, or packaging copy, because it has the best text rendering. Both live in the Gemini app and the Gemini API.
How do I keep my real product looking consistent across shots?
Attach reference images of your actual product — Nano Banana Pro can mix up to 14 reference images in a single prompt and keeps the subject consistent. Give it 2 to 4 clean photos from different angles, then write a prompt that describes only the scene, lighting, and camera while telling it to keep the product's shape, color, and label exactly as in the references. For a series, use conversational editing: keep the product image, then change only the background or lighting between shots.
How do I get a clean white background for e-commerce?
Ask explicitly for a pure white seamless background (hex #FFFFFF or near-white), a soft even three-point softbox setup with no harsh shadows, and a subtle contact shadow or gentle reflection under the product. State the aspect ratio your store needs — most marketplaces want 1:1 — and request 2K or 4K so the image stays crisp when zoomed. If a stray gradient appears, use conversational editing to say keep everything the same, make the background pure white.
Can I render at 4K for print catalogs and large displays?
Yes. Nano Banana supports native 1K, 2K, and 4K output, so add 4K to any prompt destined for print, packaging mockups, trade-show banners, or retina hero images. For web thumbnails and social, 2K is usually enough and generates faster. Pair the resolution with the correct aspect ratio in the same line, for example Aspect ratio 4:5, 4K for a portrait catalog page.
How do I add an accurate label or logo text to the product?
Wrap the exact words in quotes, keep them under about five words, name the font weight, and place the text instruction near the start of the prompt. For a real logo or dense packaging copy, attach the label as a reference image instead of typing it, and tell the model to keep the label exactly as in the reference. When text legibility is the priority, switch to Nano Banana 2, which renders words most reliably.
Why write full sentences instead of comma-separated tags?
Nano Banana Pro reasons about your prompt, so it responds best to full descriptive sentences that read like a creative director's brief — subject, composition, action, setting, lighting, and style, plus constraints like lens and aspect ratio. Tag soup gives it less to reason about. Every prompt on this page is written that way, so you can paste it as-is and then swap in your product name and brand details.
Can I use Nano Banana product images commercially?
Generated images are intended to be usable in commercial work, but the exact terms depend on your Google account tier and the current Gemini usage policy, so check the terms tied to your account before shipping paid or branded assets. Every output also carries an invisible SynthID watermark (and a visible mark on free tiers). Always review results for accuracy, especially any text, logo, or claim on the packaging.
What aspect ratios should I use for each channel?
State the ratio in the prompt. Use 1:1 for marketplace listings and Instagram grid, 4:5 for portrait feed posts and catalog pages, 16:9 or 21:9 for website hero banners, 9:16 for Reels, Stories, and TikTok, and 3:2 or 4:3 for classic editorial layouts. Nano Banana supports 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, and 21:9.
