Nano Banana Pose Prompts: 30 Templates for Better AI Poses

How to Use These Prompts

These Nano Banana pose prompts are designed for image workflows where a pose reference controls body position while your prompt controls identity, outfit, camera, lighting, and final style.

Use this base instruction before any template:

Use the uploaded image only as a pose reference. Preserve the body position, gesture, balance, and camera relationship. Do not copy the original face, outfit, or background unless I explicitly ask for it.
