20 Gemini Nano Banana Pro Prompts for Beautiful Close Up Photos

20 Gemini Nano Banana Pro Prompts for Beautiful Close Up Photos

Close-up photography reveals details that normally go unnoticed. The texture of skin, patterns in nature, tiny droplets on glass—these moments make close-up shots captivating.

When you shoot close-up, you show people a world they don’t usually see. Fine lines in someone’s face tell a story. A dewdrop on a leaf becomes a tiny universe. That’s what makes this style powerful.

Google’s latest image model, Imagen 3, creates realistic photos that look like actual camera captures. I’ve been testing it, and the results are impressive.

How I Created the Caricatures

Here’s the step-by-step process I used:

  1. Go to gemini.google.com or open the Gemini app.
  2. Start a new chat.
  3. From the model options, select Gemini 3 Pro.
    This part is important—older versions just don’t produce the same level of detail or consistency.

I’ve put together 20 prompts that will help you create stunning close up photos. Just copy and paste them exactly as they appear below.
