How to Create a Social Media Profile Picture with GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana Pro: 5 Powerful Prompts

#ai

Use one of the five prompts below to create a realistic, high-quality profile picture for your social media with impressive lighting effects.

Before generating the avatar, create a photo collage of yourself using the prompt below:

Create a collage showing the appearance of a man from different angles and at different shot sizes. Preserve the facial features and do not change anything.

Prompt 1.

Medium bust portrait, slight three-quarter angle, subject facing slightly to the right and gazing upward and to the left with a relaxed, confident expression. Wearing a white puffer/down quilted jacket with a high collar. Reflective mirrored aviator-style sunglasses. Background is a vibrant dual-tone neon gradient — warm orange/amber on the left side transitioning to cool teal/cyan on the right side, creating a bold color-split atmosphere. The neon colors from the background bleed onto the jacket and face, producing a strong bi-color lighting effect: warm orange light on one side, cool teal light on the other. High-fashion editorial portrait with strong neon color grading. Shot with an ~85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, subject sharply in focus against the colorful gradient. Use the exact physical characteristics of the person in the reference image provided — do not alter any facial features, skin tone, body type, or any physical trait.

Prompt 2.

Medium bust portrait, slight frontal to three-quarter angle, subject looking directly into the camera with a calm, intense expression. Wearing a plain black crew-neck t-shirt. Background is a deep crimson/dark red. A large perfect circular neon ring light is positioned directly behind the subject's head, glowing warm white/golden-yellow, creating a dramatic halo/crown-of-light effect centered on the composition. The ring light casts a warm golden rim glow around the edges of the shoulders and head. Overall lighting is moody and dramatic, with the face softly lit from the front against the glowing ring and dark red background. Slightly low camera angle, looking slightly upward at the subject. Cinematic, atmospheric portrait. Shot with an ~85mm lens, shallow depth of field. Use the exact physical characteristics of the person in the reference image provided — do not alter any facial features, skin tone, body type, or any physical trait.

Prompt 3.

Medium bust portrait, straight-on frontal angle, subject staring directly into the camera with a serious, intense expression. Wearing a plain white crew-neck t-shirt and a thin delicate silver chain necklace. Background is very dark, nearly black. Dramatic split neon lighting: strong red/magenta light hitting the left side of the face and body, and a cooler teal/blue light on the right side, creating a vivid bi-color split-light effect across the face, neck, and shirt. The contrast between the two neon tones is sharp and defined, producing a bold editorial look. Dark moody atmosphere with no background detail visible. Cinematic color-graded portrait. Shot with a ~50mm to 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, subject in sharp focus. Use the exact physical characteristics of the person in the reference image provided — do not alter any facial features, skin tone, body type, or any physical trait.

Prompt 4.

Medium bust portrait, slight upward angle looking up at the subject, who gazes upward with eyes directed up and slightly to the right, with a serene, ethereal expression. Wearing a plain black crew-neck t-shirt. Background is very dark with a deep green atmospheric haze/smoke filling the environment. A large perfect circular neon ring glowing in vivid lime/electric green is positioned directly behind the subject's head, centered on the composition, creating a powerful glowing halo effect. The green neon light floods the entire scene, casting a strong green color cast over the face, shoulders, and surrounding smoke. The overall mood is mysterious, otherworldly, and cinematic. Shot with an ~85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, subject sharply in focus against the glowing green atmosphere. Use the exact physical characteristics of the person in the reference image provided — do not alter any facial features, skin tone, body type, or any physical trait.

Prompt 5.

Medium bust portrait, straight-on frontal angle, subject staring directly into the camera with a serious, intense expression. Wearing a plain white pullover hoodie. Background is very dark/charcoal with a moody atmospheric quality. Two large angular neon geometric shapes frame the subject symmetrically on each side — a bright pink/magenta neon angular chevron/arrow shape on the left and a cyan/blue neon angular shape on the right. The neon shapes glow vividly against the dark background and cast subtle colored light onto the sides of the subject. The overall composition is strongly symmetrical with the subject centered between the two neon elements. Cinematic, dramatic, music artist portrait style. Shot with a ~50mm lens, moderate depth of field. Use the exact physical characteristics of the person in the reference image provided — do not alter any facial features, skin tone, body type, or any physical trait.
