Gemini AI saree: Top 3 prompts to make retro saree images

Here are a few example Nano Banana AI prompts you can utilise to make retro saree images:

 

 Prompt 1:

 

Make a gorgeous 4K HD portrait out of the uploaded picture. Long, black, wavy hair that falls over the subject's shoulders is ideal. She ought to be wearing a fitted blouse underneath a translucent, elegant red saree that is draped over one shoulder. Put some white flowers behind her right ear. She has a calm, gentle expression on her face and is looking slightly to her right.

 

I would like her face to stay precisely as it is in the submitted photo, without any changes. A warm light source from the right should illuminate a plain, warm-toned wall in the background, casting a clear, soft-edged shadow of her hair and profile on the wall behind her. There should be an artsy and vintage vibe to the whole thing.   

 

Prompt 2:

 

Based on the uploaded image, produce a grainy yet vibrant image with a vintage feel. The girl should be wearing a gorgeous purple chiffon saree that looks like it belongs on Pinterest. With dark brown, silky hair and a little flower prominently tucked into it, the feeling must evoke the spirit of a '90s movie 'baddie, heightened by a romantic, windy setting. 

 

She stands before an ancient wooden door, and the scene is made more mysterious and artistic by the dramatic contrasts and deep shadows, which produce a dark yet enchanting cinematic impression. She should be rearranging her hair based on her posture. 

 

Prompt 3:

 

Transform the uploaded image into a bright, grainy, vintage, and retro image. Maintain the same facial traits. To create the vibe of a '90s film, the subject should be dressed in a solid-colored Banarsi saree with a Pinterest-inspired throwback style. Give her lustrous, silky, dark brown hair with a tiny flower clearly tucked inside.

 

The girl stands in front of a white wall that has a melancholy, creative, and kind feel about it. Create a dramatic shadow on the wall behind her and a gentle glow on her face using a golden light source. The lighting needs to have the cosy, amber hues of a "golden hour" or sunset. It should have a simple, slightly textured background. 

 

Her face should have a serene, gloomy, yet joyful look. You can alter the hair colour and style, but the final picture should have the same face and be in high definition.
