Drop in two reference images — your face and your favorite player's face — and end up with a chaotic, viral, half-blurred smartphone selfie taken seconds before security drags you off the pitch. Post-match floodlights, a packed stadium, photographers running, security closing in. Looks like a real once-in-a-lifetime moment, not a posed photo.
A two-reference image-to-image build that takes your face and your favorite player's face and rebuilds them into a chaotic, half-blurred smartphone selfie taken seconds after a pitch invasion — security closing in, photographers running, post-match floodlights, packed stadium in the background. The whole shot reads as a genuine accidental viral moment, not a posed photo. The example in the hero shows the workflow applied during a World Cup 2026 final aftermath — swap in any player you want, any tournament, any uniform.
The Workflow
THREE STEPS
01
Setup · Open The Model
GO TO NANO BANANA 2
Open your preferred platform with access to the Nano Banana 2 image model. This prompt is more demanding than the single-reference guides — it needs the model to handle two separate facial identity references simultaneously (you + the player) while rebuilding an entirely new chaotic scene around them. Nano Banana 2 handles this well. Pick the platform you already use (Higgsfield, fal.ai, or any AI studio that hosts Nano Banana 2) and start a fresh image edit.

Start a new image edit / generation
Confirm multi-image input is supported
02
Input · Two Reference Images
UPLOAD TWO PORTRAITS
Upload two reference images in this exact order: Reference Image 1 is your face (the fan), Reference Image 2 is the player's face. The prompt is explicit about which reference belongs to which subject, so the order matters. Use clean, well-lit, head-on portraits for both — Nano Banana 2 uses each photo only as a facial identity reference and won't copy the source poses, so the sharper the faces in the inputs, the more accurately your real likenesses carry through.
Reference 1 = the fan (your face)
Reference 2 = the player's face
Both should be sharp & well-lit
Upload in the correct order

The Brief · Full Prompt
PASTE THE PROMPT & ENJOY :)
Paste the full prompt below into Nano Banana 2 exactly as written and hit generate. It locks in the entire concept — chaotic pitch invasion, accidental smartphone framing, security closing in, photographers in the background — and explicitly maps each reference image to its subject (Reference 1 = you, Reference 2 = the player). The long "NO" exclusion list at the end is what keeps the model from sliding into a posed, smiling, professional-portrait look. Keep the whole thing intact and run a few passes.

Pro Tips
PUSH IT FURTHER
🔢
Reference Order
DON'T SWAP THE INPUTS
The prompt is explicit: Reference 1 = fan, Reference 2 = player. If you upload them in the wrong order, the model maps your face onto the player and vice versa — a fast way to get an unintentionally weird result. Most platforms label the slots (image_1, image_2 or similar). Double-check the slot order before generating, especially if your platform's UI hides the labels behind hover states.
😐
Expression Lock
KEEP THE NO-SMILE LIST
That long block of "NO smile, NO grin, NO teeth, NO surprised expression" is the entire reason this looks like a real viral moment instead of a posed photo. Models default to smiling subjects unless told not to. Don't trim those lines. If a render comes back with a grin or excited expression, regenerate and re-emphasize the no-smile clause — it's doing more work than it looks like.
📱
Smartphone Look
EMBRACE THE BLUR
The slight motion blur, camera shake, and framing imperfections are intentional — they sell the "caught in chaos" feel. If a render comes back too sharp, too clean, too "photoshoot", re-emphasize the smartphone camera, handheld shake, and motion blur lines. A perfectly composed crisp result actually hurts the authenticity. Real viral selfies are imperfect.
🏟️
Swap The Player
PICK YOUR LEGEND
The prompt is generic on purpose — "the football player from Reference Image 2." Drop in whichever player you'd want to bump into on the pitch, swap the World Cup 2026 line to a different tournament if you want, and the rest of the scene (chaos, security, photographers, floodlights) re-stages around them. Same template, infinite once-in-a-lifetime moments.
