How to Use Father-Daughter Prompts

Open Gemini’s image-generation feature, paste a prompt, and customise the details before submitting it. You can request a photorealistic image, cinematic photograph, watercolour illustration, cartoon, vintage portrait, or another visual style. A useful prompt structure is:

Create a [type of image] of a father and daughter [action or interaction] in [location]. The father is wearing [outfit], and the daughter is wearing [outfit]. Use [lighting], [mood], [composition], and [aspect ratio].

For example:

Create a warm, realistic photograph of a father and his young daughter walking hand in hand through a flower garden at sunset. The father is wearing a light-blue shirt and beige trousers, and the daughter is wearing a pastel dress. Use golden-hour lighting, natural smiles, gentle background blur, and a vertical 4:5 composition.

You can refine the image with follow-up instructions such as:

Keep the father and daughter’s faces, clothing, and background unchanged, but make their smiles more natural.

Preserve the original composition, but replace the background with a beach at sunset.

Correct the hands and make the father’s embrace look natural without changing the clothing.

When using real photographs or reference images, make sure you have permission from the people shown. Avoid creating misleading, exploitative, or inappropriate images of real individuals.
