Nano Banana Pro + Kling 3.0 - a leopard brings a leopard-print bag, and the print comes off her
A leopard delivers a leopard-print Dolce & Gabbana bag, and the print comes off her dress
Tested by Nouamane Benbrahim
In today's "animal frames" series I did a spot for Dolce & Gabbana. A woman in a red corset dress waits in a white studio, and a leopard pads in carrying a leopard-print bag in its mouth. D&G isn't a client, this was just a test. The lesson here was about the print: my first version had leopard print on her too, and I pulled it off.
Here's my exact process.
1. An empty studio
I started with a room built only from a prompt, a window on the left and long shadows on the floor. Then a second pass with that image as the reference turned the floor white.
Exact prompt
Create a new photorealistic image. This is a photograph taken inside a minimalist white studio from the start — not a composite. Shoot the whole space natively, with a single unified natural light source across every surface. THE VIBE: Austere, hushed, expensive emptiness — the pared-back quiet-luxury minimalism of a high-fashion campaign set before anything is placed in it. The room feels intellectual and cool, precise but not sterile, where the quality of light and the fall of a shadow are the only events. Stillness and generous negative space. THE SETTING: A clean, modern white studio — a seamless matte-white cyclorama sweep curving gently from floor to wall with no visible seam, its surface carrying the faintest real texture and tonal variation so it reads as painted plaster, not a flat digital void. A polished pale microcement floor with a soft satin sheen, subtle and almost imperceptible reflections. One tall floor-to-ceiling window just out of frame to the left. Architectural, uncluttered, refined proportions. THE LIGHT: Soft directional daylight raking in low from the left through the unseen window, casting long, clean, elongated geometric shadows across the white sweep and floor — the crisp diagonal of a window frame and mullions stretched across the wall. Gentle falloff from bright highlight to soft grey shadow, smooth gradients, no harsh clipping. Cool-neutral white balance with the faintest warmth where the sun lands. THE KEY DETAILS: The natural window-cast shadows are the subject — long, soft-edged diagonal bars and a rectangle of light on the floor. Delicate dust motes suspended in the light shaft. Subtle tonal gradation across the seamless wall. THE MOOD: Editorial, muted, cold-clinical calm with a breath of warmth. Restrained luxury. A clean neutral grade, whites held just off pure white, soft grey shadows, nothing oversaturated. THE COMPOSITION: Wide architectural frame, eye level, straight-on and balanced. Vast negative space with the shadows placed on a rule-of-thirds diagonal as the leading lines; low emphasis, open airy upper frame. THE CAMERA: Cinematic editorial architectural still — wide framing, eye-level straight position, deep focus with everything sharp edge to edge, lit exclusively by the single window daylight source with no studio strobes and no artificial separation, a clean cool-neutral naturalistic grade in the vein of Roger Deakins' understated natural light. Light falls off gently toward the frame edges. Hyperreal, tactile, every surface present.
Exact prompt
Create a new photorealistic image, but the floor is now white. Preserve everything else from the reference exactly — the seamless matte-white cyclorama wall, the soft low directional daylight from the left, the long clean geometric window-cast shadows, the composition, framing, grade and mood all stay identical. THE FLOOR (CHANGED): The floor is now a clean matte white, continuous with the seamless white cyclorama sweep so wall and floor read as one unbroken white surface, no visible seam. A soft satin sheen with subtle, almost imperceptible reflections, the faintest real texture and tonal variation so it reads as painted plaster rather than a flat digital void — never pure clipped white. THE SETTING (LOCKED): The minimalist white studio, the seamless curving cyclorama, the tall floor-to-ceiling window just out of frame to the left. Do NOT redesign the environment. THE LIGHT (LOCKED): Soft directional daylight raking in low from the left, casting long, clean, elongated geometric window-frame and mullion shadows across the white sweep and now the white floor, with gentle falloff to soft grey and smooth gradients. Cool-neutral white balance with the faintest warmth where the sun lands. Delicate dust motes in the light shaft. THE MOOD (LOCKED): Editorial, muted, cold-clinical calm with a breath of warmth, restrained luxury, clean neutral grade, whites held just off pure white. THE COMPOSITION (LOCKED): Wide architectural frame, eye level, straight-on, vast negative space, the shadows on a rule-of-thirds diagonal as leading lines, open airy upper frame. THE CAMERA (LOCKED): Cinematic editorial architectural still, deep focus everything sharp edge to edge, lit exclusively by the single window daylight source, clean cool-neutral naturalistic grade, gentle edge falloff. Hyperreal and tactile.
2. Red, with a leopard scarf
Sicilian red was the plan. A structured red corset bustier with black lace trim, a flared red skirt, red heeled sandals, dark wavy hair and a bold red lip. On my first pose I also gave her a leopard-print silk scarf at the shoulder as an accent. All text, no product photos, with the empty studio as the room reference.
Exact prompt
Cinematic editorial fashion still, 16:9. A full-body figure at portrait scale occupying the LEFT third of the frame, with generous white negative space filling the rest. THE SETTING (UNCHANGED — preserve exactly from the reference studio): the same seamless matte-white cyclorama, white curved sweep into continuous matte-white floor, faint painted-plaster texture, soft satin floor sheen. Preserve the SAME soft directional daylight raking in low from the LEFT through a window, casting the SAME long clean geometric window-frame and mullion shadows across the floor to the RIGHT — the window light and its geometric floor shadows must be present exactly as in the reference, do not flatten to plain white. Cool-neutral white balance, faint warmth, dust motes in the light shaft. Roger Deakins naturalistic grade, deep focus. A woman stands at full portrait scale in the LEFT third of the frame. Late twenties, sultry Sicilian glamour, warm olive skin, voluminous dark wavy hair, bold red lip and smoky eye. She wears a vivid saturated Sicilian-red DOLCE & GABBANA look: a structured red corset bustier bodice with delicate black-lace trim, a flared red skirt, and a leopard-print silk scarf or accent at the shoulder, red heeled sandals. Bold vibrant red as the dominant color statement with a leopard-print accent, sensual Italian glamour against the white studio. Confident sultry stance, weight on one leg, one hand on her hip, gaze off to the LEFT toward the light. High-fashion editorial, no large brand text.
3. First hand-off
I built the first delivery frame on that pose. Her pose frame and the empty studio as references, the leopard and the bag from text: a full-grown leopard at floor level facing her, she's crouched with a leopard-print faux-fur top-handle bag in her left hand and strokes its head with her right. Here she's still wearing the leopard-print accent.
Exact prompt
Cinematic editorial fashion still, 16:9, medium shot. Both figures at portrait scale — the woman the SAME size as in the first reference frame, a full-body figure, NOT small or distant. Generous white negative space in the upper area. THE SETTING (UNCHANGED — preserve exactly from the reference studio): the same seamless matte-white cyclorama, white curved sweep into continuous matte-white floor, faint painted-plaster texture, soft satin floor sheen. Preserve the SAME soft directional daylight raking in low from the LEFT through a window, casting the SAME long clean geometric window-frame and mullion shadows across the floor to the RIGHT — the window light and its geometric floor shadows must be present exactly as in the reference, do not flatten to plain white. Cool-neutral white balance, dust motes. Roger Deakins naturalistic grade, deep focus. The same woman from the first reference — late twenties, warm olive skin, voluminous dark wavy hair, bold red lip — is crouched gracefully low on the LEFT at portrait scale, wearing the vivid Sicilian-red DOLCE & GABBANA corset dress with black-lace trim and leopard-print accent. On the RIGHT of the frame, a full-grown LEOPARD stands calmly at floor level, golden coat with black rosette spots, powerful and elegant, facing her. The leopard has just delivered a leopard-print faux-fur top-handle DOLCE & GABBANA handbag, which the woman now holds in her LEFT hand. Her RIGHT hand reaches out to gently stroke the top of the leopard's head. Serene, sultry, tender moment. Both figures clearly at portrait scale. High-fashion editorial, vivid red and the golden leopard against the white studio.
4. Take the print off her
So I went back to the pose and wrote it plainly: NO leopard print, NO scarf, a clean solid red look. That gave me this.
Exact prompt
Cinematic editorial fashion still, 16:9. A full-body figure at portrait scale occupying the LEFT third of the frame, with generous white negative space filling the rest. THE SETTING (UNCHANGED — preserve exactly from the reference studio): the same seamless matte-white cyclorama, white curved sweep into continuous matte-white floor, faint painted-plaster texture, soft satin floor sheen. Preserve the SAME soft directional daylight raking in low from the LEFT through a window, casting the SAME long clean geometric window-frame and mullion shadows across the floor to the RIGHT — the window light and its geometric floor shadows must be present exactly as in the reference, do not flatten to plain white. Cool-neutral white balance, faint warmth, dust motes in the light shaft. Roger Deakins naturalistic grade, deep focus. A woman stands at full portrait scale in the LEFT third of the frame. Late twenties, sultry Sicilian glamour, warm olive skin, voluminous dark wavy hair, bold red lip and smoky eye. She wears a vivid saturated Sicilian-red DOLCE & GABBANA look: a structured red corset bustier bodice with delicate black-lace trim and a flared red skirt, red heeled sandals. NO leopard print, NO scarf — a clean solid vivid red look. Bold vibrant red as the single dominant color statement, sensual Italian glamour against the white studio. Confident sultry stance, weight on one leg, one hand on her hip, gaze off to the LEFT toward the light. High-fashion editorial, no large brand text.
Then one more pass where I also brought her in close, a large full-body figure filling most of the frame's height. That's the pose I kept.
Exact prompt
Cinematic editorial fashion still, 16:9. A LARGE full-body figure standing close to camera at full portrait scale, occupying the LEFT third of the frame and filling most of the frame's height — a prominent full-length fashion portrait, NOT small or distant. Generous white negative space to the right. THE SETTING (UNCHANGED — preserve exactly from the reference studio): the same seamless matte-white cyclorama, white curved sweep into continuous matte-white floor, faint painted-plaster texture, soft satin floor sheen. Preserve the SAME soft directional daylight raking in low from the LEFT through a window, casting the SAME long clean geometric window-frame and mullion shadows across the floor to the RIGHT — the window light and its geometric floor shadows must be present exactly as in the reference, do not flatten to plain white. Cool-neutral white balance, faint warmth, dust motes. Roger Deakins naturalistic grade, deep focus. A woman stands close to camera at full portrait scale, filling the height of the frame, in the LEFT third. Late twenties, sultry Sicilian glamour, warm olive skin, voluminous dark wavy hair, bold red lip and smoky eye. She wears a vivid saturated Sicilian-red DOLCE & GABBANA look: a structured red corset bustier bodice with delicate black-lace trim and a flared red skirt, red heeled sandals. NO leopard print, NO scarf — a clean solid vivid red look. Bold vibrant red as the single dominant color statement, sensual Italian glamour against the white studio. Confident sultry stance, weight on one leg, one hand on her hip, gaze off to the LEFT toward the light. High-fashion editorial, no large brand text.
5. The hand-off, again
Same setup as before on the new pose: she's crouched in plain red, the leopard faces her, and the leopard-print bag is in her left hand. I kept her the same size as in the new pose frame and wrote in "no leopard print on her outfit" one more time.
Exact prompt
Cinematic editorial fashion still, 16:9, medium shot. Both figures at portrait scale — the woman the SAME size as in the first reference frame, a large full-body figure close to camera, NOT small or distant. Generous white negative space in the upper area. THE SETTING (UNCHANGED — preserve exactly from the reference studio): the same seamless matte-white cyclorama, white curved sweep into continuous matte-white floor, faint painted-plaster texture, soft satin floor sheen. Preserve the SAME soft directional daylight raking in low from the LEFT through a window, casting the SAME long clean geometric window-frame and mullion shadows across the floor to the RIGHT — the window light and its geometric floor shadows must be present exactly as in the reference, do not flatten to plain white. Cool-neutral white balance, dust motes. Roger Deakins naturalistic grade, deep focus. The same woman from the first reference — late twenties, warm olive skin, voluminous dark wavy hair, bold red lip — is crouched gracefully low on the LEFT at portrait scale, wearing the clean vivid Sicilian-red DOLCE & GABBANA corset dress with black-lace trim (no leopard print on her outfit). On the RIGHT of the frame, a full-grown LEOPARD stands calmly at floor level, golden coat with black rosette spots, powerful and elegant, facing her. The leopard has just delivered a leopard-print faux-fur top-handle DOLCE & GABBANA handbag, which the woman now holds in her LEFT hand. Her RIGHT hand reaches out to gently stroke the top of the leopard's head. Serene, sultry, tender moment. Both figures clearly at portrait scale. High-fashion editorial, vivid red and the golden leopard against the white studio.
6. The logo
Empty studio with the D&G monogram over the DOLCE & GABBANA wordmark. For the room I used my first pose take, the one with the scarf, and a logo file for the artwork.
Exact prompt
Minimalist title card, 16:9. THE SETTING (UNCHANGED — preserve exactly from the first reference studio): reproduce the same seamless matte-white cyclorama, white curved sweep into continuous matte-white floor, faint painted-plaster texture and satin floor sheen. Preserve the SAME soft daylight raking from the LEFT through a window, casting the SAME long clean geometric window-frame and mullion shadows across the floor to the RIGHT — the window light and its geometric floor shadows must be present exactly as in the reference, do not remove them or flatten to plain white. Cool-neutral white balance, dust motes. An empty studio, no person or animal. Composite the exact DOLCE & GABBANA logo from the second (logo) reference — the bold black "D&G" monogram above the smaller "DOLCE & GABBANA" wordmark, reproduced precisely, unchanged in shape and proportion — centered on the white wall as a flat crisp black title graphic, perfectly level and sharp. Nothing else in the frame — the empty studio exactly matching the reference, with the centered black DOLCE & GABBANA logo. Editorial end-card.
7. She walks in
Empty room to her pose. She comes in from the right and settles with a hand on her hip. I asked for one single woman.
Exact prompt
Static locked camera, no camera movement. ONE single woman only — exactly one person in the frame at all times, no clones or duplicates. The empty white studio; the woman enters FROM THE RIGHT edge of the frame, walks across to the left, and settles into a sultry confident pose in the left third — weight on one leg, one hand coming to rest at her hip, head turning to a smoldering gaze to the left. Natural unhurried single-person walk, the vivid red dress moving with her, long window shadows steady on the floor. Sensual Italian glamour editorial. The frame is locked; no camera movement.
8. The leopard arrives
The leopard pads in from the right with the bag in its mouth and stops facing her. She crouches, takes the bag with her left hand and strokes its head with her right. Slow and calm the whole way.
Exact prompt
Static locked camera, no camera movement. ONE single woman, one leopard — no duplicate figures or clones. The woman stands posed on the left. A full-grown leopard pads calmly into frame from the RIGHT, carrying a leopard-print faux-fur Dolce & Gabbana handbag in its mouth, and comes to stand facing her. She lowers into a graceful crouch, gently takes the bag with her left hand and lowers it to her side, then reaches out with her right hand to stroke the top of the leopard's head. Slow, sultry, tender motion. Both figures at portrait scale, generous white space, window shadows steady on the floor. Sensual Italian glamour editorial, vivid red and golden leopard against white. The frame is locked; no camera movement.
9. Turn, then walk
One tip: on walk-offs I tell the animal to turn around first so it faces the same way as her, then they walk off side by side, and I say it walks forward, not backward. I also locked the red dress for the whole clip. The logo snaps on while she's still mid-stride.
Exact prompt
Static locked camera, no camera movement. ONE single woman, one leopard — no duplicate figures or clones. She keeps wearing the SAME vivid red Dolce & Gabbana dress throughout — the outfit never changes. The woman rises with the bag in hand, and the leopard TURNS AROUND to face the RIGHT so it is facing the same way as her; then the woman and the leopard walk off together toward the RIGHT, side by side, both moving forward in the SAME direction, slow and unhurried — the leopard walks forward naturally, NOT backward. While she is still mid-stride exiting right, the DOLCE & GABBANA logo — the bold D&G monogram above the DOLCE & GABBANA wordmark — appears ALL AT ONCE in a single instant, snapping into place fully formed and centred over the frame as a flat crisp black title graphic, NOT fading or dissolving in. It holds perfectly still and sharp as they finish exiting right, and the frame resolves to the clean white studio with the centred black DOLCE & GABBANA logo. The frame is locked; no camera movement.
10. Join the clips
Emero put walk-in, hand-off and walk-off together. Any editor does the same job.
Exact prompt
Combine the clips in order
Why it works
The leopard and the bag already bring the print. On the frame I kept, the print lives on the bag and the animal, and she's solid red.
Your turn: if your animal and your product share a pattern, try a version with that pattern taken off your person and compare the two.
And if you'd rather not keep track of all these little rules, Emero writes the prompts and remembers what you changed last time, at cost.
