Create a new photorealistic portrait using the attached image as a style reference. A beautiful adult woman in her early twenties with very long chocolate-brown hair, a clean center part, hazel almond-shaped eyes, subtle natural makeup and a soft neutral expression. An oversized plain white cotton T-shirt, relaxed angled shoulders, close smartphone framing and strong warm window sunlight from the front-left. Her face and hair are brightly lit against an ordinary darker gray room. Natural hair strands and skin texture, understated everyday styling, no text or watermark.

About

Generate a new image from text with Nano Banana 2.1. Describe what the image is for, its focal subject and the scene around it. Choose the shape and 1K, 2K or 4K output setting that suit where you will use it. A portrait brief can specify light and setting; an illustrated world can specify shapes, materials and atmosphere. This entry keeps Nano Banana 2.1 selected while you work from words to a picture.

Questions

What makes a useful first brief?

State what the image is for, its main subject and what viewers should notice first. Add the composition, materials and lighting direction. Keep the scene focused enough that you can judge the result against the idea.

Do I need to upload an image?

No. This starting point begins with words. Use the image editor when an existing picture or visual reference should guide the result.

Which output size does the website start with?

It starts at 1K. You can choose 2K or 4K for the output you need. Inspect the result at its intended display size and check small details separately.

Can I use a wide or tall composition?

Yes. Choose from Nano Banana 2.1’s shape menu, which includes square, landscape, portrait and additional very wide or tall formats. Auto is the website starting choice. State the focal point and the space you want in the frame.

Can I request more than one image?

Start with one, or request up to four in a request. Review each result for the composition, lettering and distinctive subject details before choosing one.

Can I include a title in the artwork?

Include the exact wording and its position in the brief. Check spelling, spacing and legibility in the result. You can also ask for a clear title area and add the final type separately.
