Create a touching image of your present self hugging your younger self, capturing warmth by Gemini AI photo prompt text copy and paste.
✅ Nano Banana Prompt:
Take a photo taken with a Polaroid camera. The photo should look like an ordinary photograph, without an explicit subject or property. The photo should have a slight blur and a consistent light source, like a flash from a dark room, scattered throughout the photo. Don’t change the face. Change the background behind those two people with white curtains. Make it look like both people in the reference picture are hugging each other.
Process of Creating the Hugging Portrait with White Curtain Background
Objective
To transform two separate reference portraits (one of the woman, one of the child) into a single, realistic photograph where they appear hugging each other. The goal was to keep the faces unchanged, make the background look natural, and simulate a camera-style capture with consistent flash lighting.
Step 1 – Collecting Reference Images
Image A: Woman standing casually in a beige sweater and white pants.
Image B: Little girl in a green dress against a plain background.
Both images served as the base references for merging expressions, clothing, and posture.
Step 2 – Defining the Visual Requirements
Pose: The woman and child should be hugging.
Background: Replace with white curtains to provide a neutral, natural indoor setting.
Lighting: Add a slight blur and flash effect to mimic a real photo taken in a dimly lit room.
Face Integrity: Keep the facial features unchanged to preserve realism.
Photography Feel: Ensure it looks like a normal candid photograph, not overly edited.
Step 3 – Generating the Image
Used Gemini AI with prompts describing the exact requirements:
Merge woman and child into a hugging pose.
Retain original facial details.
Apply background swap to white curtains.
Introduce soft flash-like lighting and minimal blur.
Iterated until the balance of realism and photographic imperfection (slight grain/blur) was achieved.
Step 4 – Refinements
Adjusted the consistency of shadows and lighting to match both figures.
Balanced the skin tones under the flash effect.
Ensured that the hug looked natural (child’s arm wrapping, woman’s supporting posture).
Final Output
A natural-looking portrait of mother and daughter hugging against a white curtain backdrop.
The photo has a slight blur, a flash-like glow, and maintains a consistent camera-captured aesthetic.
Both faces are realistic, unchanged, and aligned seamlessly with the new setting.
