# Y2K Flash-Photo JSON Prompt for Gemini Nano Banana

> Structured JSON prompt template for Y2K direct-flash digital camera aesthetic images

This note provides a structured JSON prompt designed for image generation models like Gemini Nano Banana. It demonstrates how to enforce specific aesthetics—such as early-2000s point-and-shoot flash photography—by categorizing styling, camera emulation, lighting, and subjects into granular key-value pairs.

## The prompt

{"project\_constraints":{"facial\_rendering":"100% original facial features (Do not edit the face)","resolution":"1200x1200px","output\_quality":"Photo-realistic, 8K resolution"},"camera\_and\_style":{"device\_emulation":"Y2k-era digital camera (Canon IXUS / Sony Cyber-shot)","perspective":"Low-angle, shot from behind at a 3/4 angle","visual\_aesthetic":"Cinematic, nostalgic","post\_processing":{"grain":"Thin film grain","depth\_of\_field":"Shallow","color\_grading":"Bright overall tone with a slight pinkish-purple hue"}},"subject\_details":{"demographics":"Beautiful young woman","physique":"Hourglass figure, fair dewy skin","hair":"Long, wavy, thick milk-brown hair, spiral curls reaching waist","makeup":{"base":"Light brown nude","eyes":"Aussie eyeliner","finish":"Glossy cheek and lip color"},"nails":"Long, polished in shiny wine red"},"pose\_and\_action":{"position":"Sitting sideways in passenger seat","hands":"Right hand gripping steering wheel, left hand lifting hair up","expression":"Looking back over shoulder, seductive and confident"},"fashion\_and\_accessories":{"top":"Shiny white tube top with open back and delicate crisscross detail","bottom":"Light blue high-waisted jeans (fitted)","jewelry":"Several gold rings, matching bracelet","bag":"Small Chanel Vanity bag with black gold chain (on armrest)"},"environment":{"location":"Interior of luxury SUV (Mercedes-Benz style)","interior\_elements":"Wooden trim, light beige leather seats","time\_of\_day":"Night"},"lighting":{"technique":"Direct flash photography","sources":\["Soft warm interior lighting","Cool blue dashboard light","City light bokeh through windows"\],"characteristics":"High contrast, pronounced flash shadows, realistic cinematic lighting"}}
