Nano Banana 2 Prompts for UGC-Style Ads
Two prompts for creator-style ad frames that keep the product exactly right while letting the photography look like a phone, not a studio: a product-in-hand shot and an at-home lifestyle frame.
How to use these prompts
The problem
UGC creative works because it looks unpaid. Studio lighting, perfect symmetry, and a spotless background are exactly the cues that make a viewer read an ad as an ad and scroll past it.
The method
Ask for the imperfection explicitly — handheld framing, mixed household light, ordinary clutter — while pinning the product to an attached reference so its shape, label, and color stay exact. Authenticity is in the room and the camera, never in the product.
Prompts to copy and adapt
Product-in-hand creator shot
Create a vertical creator-style photo of a hand holding [product] in [room], shot as if on a phone's front camera. Use the attached product as the exact reference and preserve its shape, proportions, label, and color exactly. Light it with [light source] only, allow slight handheld tilt and natural motion softness, and keep ordinary lived-in detail such as [background detail] visible but out of focus behind. Skin and surfaces should look untouched, not retouched. No studio lighting, no seamless backdrop, no generated words, logos, or interface overlays.
- Model and input
- Nano Banana 2. Attach a clean, well-lit photo of the real product on a plain background so the label stays legible after restaging.
- Suggested aspect ratio
- 9:16
- Replace these variables
- [product], [room], [light source], [background detail]
- Best for
- TikTok · Instagram Stories and Reels · Meta ads
- Check the result
- Compare the product against the reference for label and color accuracy, then check the scene for anything that reads as professionally lit or staged.
At-home lifestyle frame
Create a candid lifestyle photo of [subject] using [product] during [everyday moment] in [setting]. Use the attached product as the exact reference and keep its shape, label, and color unchanged. Frame it slightly off-center as a phone snapshot would, light the scene with [light source], and include a natural [imperfection] that makes the moment feel unposed. Keep the product clearly visible but not presented to the camera. No studio lighting, no brand text, no generated words, and no stock-photo posing.
- Model and input
- Nano Banana 2. Attach the product reference and, when a recurring creator appears across the campaign, a face reference for continuity.
- Suggested aspect ratio
- 4:5
- Replace these variables
- [subject], [product], [everyday moment], [setting], [light source], [imperfection]
- Best for
- Instagram feed · Meta ads
- Check the result
- Ask whether this could plausibly be a photo from a customer's camera roll, and confirm the product survived restaging unchanged.
