Compose a widescreen photograph of a sunlit vintage motel, using a low viewpoint that emphasizes the building's architecture. A yellow metal staircase crosses a weathered pink wall, creating a strong diagonal through the frame. Place an adult woman wearing a green dress halfway down the stairs, one hand resting on the railing. Include the upper walkway, repeating railings, doorways, and a small area of clear blue sky. Let direct sunlight cast sharply defined geometric shadows across the stucco. Balance the warm building colors against the green clothing, preserving realistic skin, fabric, paint, and metal textures. Aim for the atmosphere of a carefully composed film scene.

How do I write Nano Banana prompts for photo editing?
Describe the change first, then list the details to keep. For a product photo, try: “Place this handbag on a cream pedestal with soft studio lighting. Keep its peach color, gold clasp, and original shape.” For a portrait, specify the new setting and which facial or clothing details should stay consistent.
Can Nano Banana 2.1 generate 4K images?
Yes. Choose 1K, 2K, or 4K output and a square, portrait, landscape, or panoramic aspect ratio. Auto aspect ratio is also available. Actual pixel dimensions depend on the chosen ratio. Use 1K to explore ideas and a higher resolution when your design needs more detail.
