AI Food Photography Prompts: FAQ

Which AI model are these food prompts for?

They are written for Google's Nano Banana 2 (Gemini image model), and most example images were rendered with it. Prompts marked Nano Banana Pro need stronger text rendering. They also work in other image models, with varying results.

Do I need to upload a photo?

2 of the 16 prompts in this category use your photo; the rest work from text alone. Each prompt shows what it needs next to the copy button.

How do I change a prompt?

Replace the words in [square brackets] with your own details — a colour, a place, a name on a box. Keep the parts that describe lighting and camera; they are what make the result look right.
