Nano Banana Product Photography

A Nano Banana prompt formula for clean e-commerce product shots: controlled lighting, surface, angle, and consistent framing.

A professional studio product photograph of [PRODUCT: name its exact material, color, and finish, e.g. "a matte amber glass dropper bottle with a black cap"], centered on a [SURFACE: matte white pedestal / brushed concrete slab / walnut tabletop], against a seamless [COLOR] background.

The scene is lit with a three-point softbox setup: a large key light from the upper left, gentle fill from the right, and a subtle rim light separating the product from the background. A soft natural shadow sits beneath the product. The product's texture is crisp and true to life.

Shot at eye level with an 85mm lens look at f/8 so the entire product is sharp. The product fills about 70% of the frame. E-commerce catalog quality, clean composition, empty scene apart from the product.

[EDITING VARIANT: when starting from your own product photo, use this instead:
"Keep the product exactly unchanged, same shape, label, colors, and proportions. Replace the background with [NEW SCENE]. Match the lighting direction to [e.g. soft daylight from the left] so the shadows stay consistent."]

How to use

Works in the Gemini app or API. Nano Banana responds to narrative scene description, not keyword lists. Describe the shot like you'd brief a photographer, and phrase exclusions positively ('empty scene' rather than 'no props'). For a product line, keep the lighting and camera sentences identical across generations and change only the product and surface; refine with short follow-ups like 'same image, shadow 20% softer'.
