AI Ice Cream Girl — Cinematic Portrait Workflow
A 3-step NanoBanana2 workflow to generate a photorealistic cinematic portrait — wide beach shot, face close-up, and extreme macro detail. All three prompts are included below.
How It Works
Start with a wide cinematic image, then use it as a reference to generate two progressively tighter close-ups. Each step adds more texture and detail to the final result.
Go to labs.google/fx/tools/flow, create a new project, and set the model to NanoBanana2.
Use this prompt to create the base wide image — a tropical beach portrait at golden hour.
A young Caucasian woman, appearing to be in her early twenties, is captured in a close-up portrait. She has wet blonde hair slicked back, striking blue eyes, and a subtle, alluring expression as she holds a vanilla ice cream cone to her lips. Her skin is tanned and glistening with sweat, suggesting a warm climate. She wears a delicate pink spaghetti strap top. The setting is a tropical beach at dusk, with the ocean and a vibrant sunset visible in the background, framed by silhouetted palm trees. The woman is positioned slightly off-center, with her head angled towards the viewer, in a three-quarter profile. The composition is intimate and focused on her face and the ice cream, with a shallow depth of field blurring the background. The lighting is soft and golden, characteristic of a sunset, casting a warm glow and subtle highlights on her skin The overall atmosphere is sensual and summery, with a photographic style that emphasizes natural beauty and a luxurious vacation feel.
Add the image from Step 1 as a reference, then use this prompt to generate a tighter face close-up with sharp skin texture.
Extreme macro close-up, side profile, 20-year-old Caucasian woman with natural, dewy flushed skin texture, visible pores, no plastic sheen. Bright blue eyes with detailed iris structure. Lips parted, biting a melting creamy vanilla ice cream on a crisp waffle cone. Shot on 85mm lens, f/1.8, cinematic shallow depth of field. Soft warm golden hour lighting, golden rim light on hair, blurred urban sunset bokeh background. Ultra-realistic, 8k, photorealistic, sharp focus on eyes and ice cream texture.
Again add the Step 1 image as reference and use this prompt for an extreme macro of lips and ice cream texture.
Extreme macro profile shot of a young Caucasian woman savoring a melting vanilla ice cream on a waffle cone. Focus on the glistening, hydrated texture of her full peach-glossed lips and the realistic anatomy of her tongue. A single, viscous droplet of ivory cream is captured mid-slide down her tongue towards her chin. 4k skin texture with visible pores and soft peach fuzz. The waffle cone has a crisp, golden-brown lattice. Lighting: "Golden Hour" backlighting, creating a rim light effect on her profile. Background: Dreamy bokeh of a tropical sunset with a soft silhouette of a palm frond. Cinematic, 85mm lens, high contrast, sensory-focused.
Pro Tip
For best results, run Step 1 a few times and pick the sharpest base image before moving to Steps 2 and 3 — the reference image quality directly affects the close-up detail.
