Nano Banana Pro targets production-quality lifestyle visuals with strong prompt understanding and standout text rendering (useful for tees, packaging, street signs, and café menus).

Lifestyle Content — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A 22–28-year-old woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair, minimal makeup, wearing an oversized cream knit sweater and black leggings, holds her phone slightly above eye level for a casual front-camera selfie while glancing toward the lens mid-sip of an iced latte. She’s sitting at a cozy window-seat table in a small neighborhood café with a pastry plate and an open laptop in frame, warm morning sunlight and soft shadows creating a real Instagram-story vibe. Natural lighting, slight handheld blur, candid expression like she’s about to talk to the camera about her day."

Verdict
If you need lifestyle images that can pass as polished, brand-ready photography—especially when readable text appears in-scene—Nano Banana Pro is the stronger choice.
