Profile / Avatar - Realistic Elevator Mirror Selfie Prompt for Nano Banana Pro
A highly structured JSON prompt for Nano Banana Pro designed to generate an ultra-realistic, imperfect elevator mirror selfie featuring two friends. The prompt focuses heavily on preserving the exact identity of reference faces, simulating smartphone camera flaws (grain, slight blur, lens distortion), and maintaining a casual, unfiltered aesthetic.

Tweaking Tips
- Lighting: Change "cinematic lighting" to "golden hour lighting" for a warmer mood.
- Lens: Adjust "f/1.8" to "f/8" if you want everything in sharp focus instead of blurred depth-of-field.
- Camera: Replace "Sony A7R IV" with "Fujifilm X-T4" for vintage color science.
