Aesthetic snowy portraits have been trending on Instagram and TikTok for a while now, and Gemini AI makes it genuinely easy to create them. 🌨️ These prompts are written to generate brand-new snowy people photos from scratch, so you don’t need an actual winter location or a camera setup to get that kind of shot. Each prompt describes the person, outfit, lighting, background, and mood in enough detail to produce a high-quality, realistic result.
To try them out, open gemini.google.com in your browser and start a new chat. 💻 From the model picker, select Nano Banana (Gemini’s image generation model) and paste any prompt directly into the chat. If you want to fine-tune the output, you can adjust details like hair color, coat style, or background setting and regenerate until you get the look you want.
1. Korean Three-Panel Triptych Snow Portrait for Instagram Stories
“Create a vertical 9:16 cinematic composite portrait in a winter snow setting, split into three stacked frames. Top frame shows a close-up of a young woman’s eye and cheek with snowflakes resting on her lashes and rosy skin. Middle frame shows a three-quarter profile of her gazing upward while holding a clear umbrella as snow falls around her. Bottom frame is a chest-up shot of her facing the camera with a quiet, calm expression. She wears a black wool coat, a thick white scarf, and her hair is neatly tucked in with no hat. Lighting is soft daylight with an HDR tone and shallow depth of field (Canon EOS R5, 85mm f/1.2 lens aesthetic). Mood is emotional and calm, Korean winter drama style, cool desaturated tones, subtle cinematic contrast.”
Best for Instagram Stories or TikTok vertical content. 📱
2. Cozy Golden-Hour Snowy Portrait for Lifestyle Photography
“Create a warm cinematic winter portrait of a young woman standing outdoors in gently falling snow. She wears a cream-colored cable-knit sweater and a soft caramel wool coat, with her long dark hair loosely framing her face. Her expression is calm and warm with rosy cheeks from the cold. Soft golden-hour sunlight filters in from behind, casting a gentle warm glow across the scene. The background is a blurred snowy open field with bare trees softly out of focus. Snowflakes drift naturally around her, a few resting on her hair and coat. Shot with an 85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, warm but slightly muted color grading. The mood feels serene and cozy, like a still from a winter lifestyle editorial.”
3. Cinematic Snowy Forest Portrait with Closed Eyes and Fur Coat
“Create a serene winter portrait of a young woman standing in a snowy pine forest. She has long dark wavy hair lightly dusted with snowflakes, and her eyes are gently closed as she tilts her face slightly upward with a peaceful expression. She wears a soft plush faux-fur coat in warm beige tones, with snow collecting naturally on its surface. The background features tall snow-covered pine trees fading into a misty haze. Snowflakes fall softly around her, some captured mid-air. Lighting is soft and diffused from above, with cool blue-white tones in the background and a slightly warmer light on her face. Ultra-realistic portrait photography, shallow depth of field, dreamy winter aesthetic, 85mm lens.”
This one works well if you’re going for that quiet, almost cinematic editorial look. 🎬
4. Urban City Street Snow Portrait with Warm Bokeh Lights
“Create a photo of a young woman standing on a snowy city street at night. She has long dark wavy hair with snowflakes settling on it, and her expression is calm and slightly thoughtful as she looks to the side. She wears a deep forest green wool coat with a thick navy textured scarf wrapped around her neck. Snow falls gently around her. The background shows an out-of-focus city street with warm yellow and white bokeh lights from nearby storefronts and streetlamps. Soft ambient lighting illuminates her face from the front. Color palette is cool with warm accent tones from the bokeh. Shot with an 85mm lens, ultra-realistic, high-resolution portrait photography, quiet cinematic winter mood.”
5. Festive Christmas Night Portrait with Giant Glowing Holiday Tree
“Create a warm evening portrait of a young woman standing in a festive outdoor plaza. She wears a deep red belted winter coat with a thick cream knitted scarf wrapped around her neck. Her long brown hair flows softly at her shoulders as snowflakes float gently around her. Behind her, a giant Christmas tree glows with hundreds of warm golden lights blurring into a dreamy bokeh effect. The surrounding buildings fade into a deep blue twilight tone. Her expression is calm and content, lit softly from the front by ambient warm light. High-resolution portrait photography, cinematic depth of field, warm festive lighting, elegant winter aesthetic.”
Great for year-end social media content, holiday greetings, or seasonal brand visuals. 🎄
6. Nighttime Northern Lights Snow Portrait in an Arctic Pine Forest
“Create a magical nighttime winter portrait of a young woman standing outdoors in a snowy arctic setting. She wears a luxurious light-beige faux-fur coat, and her long dark hair falls naturally around her shoulders. She gazes upward with a bright, joyful expression, softly lit by the ambient glow of the aurora above. Snow-covered pine trees form a dark silhouette against the sky behind her. The Northern Lights stretch across a deep blue star-filled sky in sweeping ribbons of green and soft purple. Snowflakes drift gently through the air. Magical and cinematic in mood, cool color grading, high-resolution portrait quality, shallow depth of field keeping focus on her face while the aurora glows behind.”
7. Couple Building a Snowman with Alpine Mountain Background
“Create a bright, joyful winter portrait of a young couple kneeling in fresh snow as they build a small snowman together. Behind them, a stunning alpine mountain range fills the frame with snow-covered peaks under a crisp blue sky. The man wears a white cable-knit turtleneck sweater and light-colored winter pants. The woman wears a stylish black jacket with a cream sherpa collar. Both are smiling warmly at the camera. Their snowman has a carrot nose, a small striped knitted scarf, pebble eyes and a pebble smile, and a tiny beanie hat. A rustic wooden cabin sits slightly visible to the right. Soft natural daylight illuminates the whole scene. High-resolution photography, natural color balance, cheerful vacation mood, wide composition showing the full alpine setting.”
These prompts cover a good range of snowy portrait styles, from cozy lifestyle shots to dramatic nighttime aurora scenes. 🎉 If the first result isn’t quite there, just tweak one detail at a time, like swapping the coat color or changing the time of day, and regenerate.
