Photo edit prompt guide

Which photos work for this edit

A tiny collectible figure of the person in your photo, sealed inside a clear glass bottle on a sunny windowsill, is what Nano Banana 2.1 makes from this prompt. The prompt works because it names one edit, keeps the face and outfit fixed, and then describes the glass, the light and the macro camera so the model shows the bottle as a real object.

This edit expects one clear photo of a single adult, taken from the front, so the model has a face and outfit to carry into the figure.

Works: one adult facing the camera with head and shoulders in view
The model needs a readable face and hairline to carry into the figure, and a front view gives it the most detail to copy.
Works: a plain or simple background behind the person
The person is rebuilt as a small figure, so a simple background keeps the edges clean and avoids leftover shapes showing through the glass.
Avoid: group photos or several people in the frame
The prompt says 'the person in image 1', so the model may pick the wrong face or blend several faces into one figure.
Avoid: sunglasses, hats or masks that hide the face
Hidden features cannot be kept recognisable, so the figure will drift from the real person even though the prompt asks for the face to stay the same.

What each instruction does

  1. subject and scaleTurn the person in image 1 into a 1/7 scale collectible figure

    It sets the job: turn image 1 into a figure at 1/7 scale. Remove it and the model may paint a new scene with the person in it, instead of a small collectible.

  2. identity lockkeeping the face, hair, skin tone and outfit recognisable

    This is the identity lock. Without it, the face, hair and outfit can drift into a generic figure, so the result looks like someone else even when the scale and bottle are right.

  3. miniature sceneplace it in a tiny beach with sand, seashells and a small curling wave diorama

    This describes the miniature world: a beach with sand, shells and a curling wave. Change these nouns to set a new scene, and the bottle contents will change to match while the glass stays the same.

  4. container and settingsealed inside a clear souvenir glass bottle with a cork stopper. The bottle lies on a sunny windowsill.

    This sets the container and the setting. Remove 'sealed inside' and the figure may sit beside the bottle, and removing 'sunny windowsill' flattens the light the glass needs for its reflections.

  5. lighting and camera lookRealistic glass reflections and refraction, warm natural light, macro product photo, shallow depth of field.

    These words set the camera and light. Without 'macro product photo' the model may frame the bottle as a full room scene, and without 'shallow depth of field' the background competes with the figure.

Mountain campsite bottle

Moves the scene to a mountain campsite with a wooden stopper, for an outdoor or travel theme.

Prompt

Turn the person in image 1 into a 1/7 scale collectible figure, keeping the face, hair, skin tone and outfit recognisable, and place it in a tiny mountain campsite with a small red tent, pine trees and a campfire diorama sealed inside a clear glass bottle with a wooden stopper. The bottle lies on a wooden table by a window in cool morning light. Realistic glass reflections and refraction, soft daylight, macro product photo, shallow depth of field.

Model and settings

Keep 3:4 and 1k for this prompt, since the example was made in that portrait frame with one input picture in image-to-image mode. The tall shape suits a single figure standing in a bottle, so keep it unless you want a wider scene. Use 1k for quick tests and move to a higher resolution only once the face and bottle look right. If you want a landscape postcard look, switch to a wider ratio, but expect the bottle to become smaller in the frame.

  • Seedream 5.0 ProPick this when you have several photos of the same person, since it accepts up to ten references to keep the face and outfit steady across a figure series.
  • FLUX.2 ProPick this when you want the glass or the cork in an exact colour, since its tagline offers hex colour control with photoreal results.

When the edit misses

The face or hair drifts away from the person in image 1.
Keep 'keeping the face, hair, skin tone and outfit recognisable' word for word, and add 'exactly as in image 1' right after 'the face'. If it still drifts, use a sharper, front-facing input photo.
The person appears full size beside the bottle, not inside it.
Keep 'sealed inside a clear souvenir glass bottle' and '1/7 scale' together, and add 'figure no bigger than the bottle' if the model keeps the person large.
The edit is ignored and the output looks like the original photo with a filter.
Start the prompt with 'Turn the person in image 1 into a 1/7 scale collectible figure' and do not shorten it, since that clause is the main instruction the model follows.
The bottle's light and shadows do not match the windowsill.
Add 'light from the window on the left' after 'sunny windowsill', so the highlights and shadows on the glass point the same way.

Questions about this edit prompt

Can Nano Banana 2.1 keep my face the same when I turn a photo into a bottle figure?

The prompt asks the model to keep the face, hair, skin tone and outfit recognisable, which is the part to check first. Compare the figure with your input picture at full size and, if the face has drifted, try a sharper, front-facing photo with even light.

What photo works best as image 1 for this bottle figure prompt?

A clear, well-lit photo of one adult facing the camera works best, with the head and shoulders fully in view. Hats, sunglasses and crowded backgrounds make the figure harder to read inside the small bottle.

Why does the glass look flat in my result?

The glass depends on the words 'Realistic glass reflections and refraction' and on the window light. Keep those words at the end of the prompt and do not remove 'sunny windowsill', since the light source gives the reflections something to show.
