Prompt strategy

How this banana prompt works

This banana prompt is built around a clear intent: Create Terminator Redux as a reusable portrait visual prompt. It starts with the result, then adds structure, style, and failure-prevention constraints so Nano Banana Pro has less room to invent unusable details. Use the variables as controlled inputs: they make the banana prompt reusable while keeping the creative direction stable.

Copy-ready template

Full banana prompt

A cinematic, somber, medium-length portrait in the iconic Terminator style. The subject is a robust male figure, with half of his face (right side) revealing a cybernetic structure of metal and wires, with a glowing red mechanical eye. The other half of his face (left side) is human, with a serious, determined expression, furrowed brows, and a thin beard.

He wears a worn black leather jacket over a dark T-shirt.

His hair is short, dark, and slicked back.

The background is dark and smoky, with a mysterious and menacing atmosphere, enhanced by subtle smoke or fog. The lighting is dramatic and low-key, with sidelights highlighting the leather texture and metallic details of the cybernetic face, and a red light emanating from the mechanical eye.

Camera Settings: Captured with a portrait lens (e.g., 85mm f/1.4) on a full-frame camera for a sharp close-up with flattering compression. Aperture adjusted between f/2.0 and f/2.8 for a shallow depth of field, focusing on the face and blurring the background. ISO 400-800 for low light. Shutter speed from 1/125s to 1/250s. Studio lighting controlled with sidelights and backlighting (rim light) to create a dramatic effect and highlight the red eye.

Instructions for the "nano banana":

"Please use the user's reference image to capture and apply all their facial features, facial structure, eye color, hair and beard style, and skin tone with maximum fidelity. The goal is to create a Terminator-like version of the user. The clothing (black leather jacket), the cybernetic part of the face with the red eye, the serious expression, the dramatic lighting, and the dark, smoky background should be generated as described, creating a perfect fusion between the user's identity and the aesthetics of the image."
