As a portrait photographer, I’ve always believed that the magic happens when I click the shutter button.
But let’s be real: Rarely do we get the perfect image straight out of the camera. In a controlled envirioment images may just need a little tinkering with, but sometimes they require a lot of editing to produce a top-notch image.
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with Google Gemini (specifically the updated Nano Banana model), and it’s fundamentally changing how I approach portraiture. It isn’t just a “filter”—it’s more like having a highly skilled digital technician sitting right next to me.
Here’s how I’m experimenting with Google Gemini to push my portrait work further.
