Nano Banana 2 Portrait and Avatar Prompts
Reference-led prompts for a professional portrait and a stylized avatar while preserving recognizable identity cues.
How to use these prompts
The problem
Portrait prompts can change facial geometry, age, skin texture, or distinctive features. Identity-sensitive work needs a permitted reference and a short list of attributes that must not drift.
The method
Use a photo you own or have permission to edit. State which identity details, expression, and crop must remain fixed. Change one lighting, wardrobe, or style variable per pass and inspect the face at full resolution.

Transform the attached portrait of [person] into a [visual style] avatar. Preserve the same face shape, hairstyle, [distinctive feature], expression, and [signature color].
