You may have scene those reels and posts on Instagram where you friend or a random guy is posting his photos, and the photo is so astonishing that you just pause your finger for a moment so the reel don’t get scrolled up.
Before AI, making such photo edits was actually a time taking process, like having a good software, editing skills, and most importantly, you must have time.
But nowadays, making such portraits and impressive images has become work of a few seconds.
All you need is a correct prompt and your photo, and within few seconds, your astonishing image will be ready to post on social media.
I won’t only give you one prompt, but collection of prompts which will give you different yet amazing results, along with examples.
Let’s see how we too can make such impressive photo edits and gain attention.
Key Takeaways:
- We need only two things to create amazing images of ourselves, first, of course your photo, and a rightly crafted prompt, which you will get in this tutorial.
- We will be using Nano Banana Pro to generate the images. If you don’t know how to use Nano Banana Pro, here it is.
- Nano Banana Pro can be access via several platforms, but will access it from Gemini.
Step by Step Tutorial:
1. Will first move to https://gemini.google.com, and select “Create Images” option which will load Nano Banana Pro in the backend. By the way, if you want to claim Gemini Pro for 18 months, all for free, read this tutorial where I have explained it step by step.

2. Click on the ‘+’ icon, and select “Upload files” option, and upload your photo.

3. I have uploaded an image which I have generated through AI itself in past days. Now we have to enter the prompt.

4. Copy and paste the below prompt.
The Prompt:
“A young man with dark hair, wearing a striped button-down shirt over a white t-shirt with a Nike logo, and tan trousers, is crouched on a wooden boat facing slightly right while holding a black DSLR camera. He is centered in the frame, sitting low on the boat which is on calm water. In the blurred background at dusk, a large mosque-like structure with a central dome and two minarets is visible, flanked by a horizontal line of warm, circular bokeh lights reflecting on the water.”

5. And here is our image we got within few seconds. You can imagine how long will it take to do it manually. Posing, capturing, editing, then a final result. But here, just your photo, a rightly crafted prompt, and you are done.

People Also Ask:
You usually cannot create high-quality AI photos directly inside the Instagram app. Most people use external AI tools like Google Gemini (Nano Banana Pro), Bing Image Creator, or Midjourney to create the photo first, and then upload it to Instagram like a normal post.
To make trending images, you need two things: a good AI tool (like the one shown in this tutorial) and a specific “prompt” (description). You simply upload your photo, paste the trending prompt, and the AI creates the image for you.
You don’t need to edit manually using software like Photoshop anymore. In AI tools, “editing” means changing the text prompt. If you want a different background or outfit, just change the words in your prompt, and the AI redraws the picture for you.
Instagram has some basic AI features like “Backdrop” for Stories or “AI Studio” for chats, but for the viral, high-quality portraits you see on Reels, people are using outside tools like Google Gemini or Lensa, not Instagram itself.
Everyone is using AI generators. They take a normal selfie, upload it to a tool like Nano Banana Pro, and use a detailed description (prompt) to turn that selfie into a cinematic or artistic photo within seconds.
Conclusion
Creating viral, professional-looking photos for Instagram is no longer difficult or expensive.
You don’t need a DSLR camera or years of editing experience. As shown in this guide, all you need is a simple photo of yourself and the right text prompt.
By using tools like Nano Banana Pro, you can create stunning images in seconds that are sure to stop the scroll and get likes.
