Looking Up: Mastering High-Angle Realism with Nano Banana Pro
Is this real or is it AI? Let’s talk about mastering perspective with Face-to-Image workflows. 📸🤖 I’m pushing the boundaries of Nano Banana Pro today with this intense "Upward Gaze" concept. The goal here was absolute hyper-realism combined with a stark, minimalist studio aesthetic. Notice the detailed lighting on the jacket texture and the sharp reflections in the glasses—getting that specific high-angle distortion correct while keeping the face accurate is usually tough, but the model handled it perfectly. How did I achieve this specific look? It’s not just simple text-to-image. To get this result, I utilized a Face Reference (Image-to-Image) workflow. First, I uploaded a clear reference photo of the subject’s face to lock in the identity. Then, I pasted the prompt below to instruct Nano Banana Pro on the environment—specifically asking for that extreme "high-angle shot looking down," the "soft studio lighting," and the "grey background." This combination ensures the face looks authentic while the AI builds the dramatic new camera angle around it. Ready to try this dramatic perspective yourself? The full prompt is down below, and I want something else too: see if you can replicate this clean studio vibe with your own characters and tag me in the results! 🚀 Prompt is down Below👇 { "image_type": "photographic portrait", "style": "studio portrait, cinematic, minimalist", "composition": { "orientation": "portrait", "framing": "full body from extreme high angle", "subject_position": "centered", "camera_angle": "top-down (bird’s-eye / overhead)", "lens_distortion": "strong wide-angle perspective exaggeration", "negative_space": "extensive surrounding empty space", "perspective": "dramatic overhead with subject looking up" }, "subject": { "count": 1, "description": "young person with glasses", "pose": "standing upright, shoulders slightly forward, arms relaxed", "expression": "soft, introspective, mildly curious", "gaze": "looking directly up at the camera",
