15 Gemini Prompts for Beautiful Studio Portraits

These prompts are designed for Gemini’s image generation so you can turn a simple idea into clean, studio-quality portraits: crisp lighting, flattering lenses, and consistent backgrounds.

You can paste them directly into Gemini, then tweak details like age, outfit, camera or background. Think of each one as a reusable pattern rather than a one-off prompt.

How to use these Gemini portrait prompts

Pick a prompt that fits your subject, swap the placeholder details (age, hair, outfit, backdrop) and run it at least 2–3 times. Save your favorite seeds or variants so you can keep a consistent look across a whole campaign or portfolio.
