Nano Banana + Canva: Realistic AI Photos of You

Stock photos are dead. And I'm not saying this because the Canva library sucks. It's actually pretty solid right now. Why use generic photos when you can now generate photos of yourself in any given situation. Look, that's me crying, sad, crying from joy in a subway waking up. And that's me stuck in a glass jar. In this video, I'll show you an easy three-step workflow to generate photos of yourself with Nano Banana and then plug them into Canva to generate slides, social media posts, or any kinds of visuals that look branded and professional. And most importantly, I'll show you how to keep them realistic, not AI weird. Hey, what's up everyone? Ronnie here. Let's get into this workflow. Before we jump in though, let me give you a word or two about the tools I'm going to be using for this tutorial. So, for image generation, I highly recommend you use Nano Banana Pro, which is the best-in-class model as of today in order to generate the most realistic photos, especially if we are going to be using photos of ourselves. We want these photos to look real, exactly like us. The problem with Nano Banana Pro is that it's mostly a paid tools. You can find ways to use it for free, but you will be limited in your capacity, in the amount of images you can generate daily. There is an abundance of tutorials on YouTube about Nano Banana. Some of them are specifically about where to find it for free. The one I know free users is Gemini, but you will be limited to one or two images per day. The one I will be using, the platform I will be using to access Nano Banana Pro is Hicks Fields. Okay, Xfields is a platform aggregator where you can do a bunch of different things. AI video, AI photo, all sorts of apps that you can do here. This video is not sponsored by Hicksfield. It's just the tool we use in the team. And under Hicksfield, there is this plan or there was this offer where you can get to Nano Banana Pro unlimited. You see this right here? And you will have images up to 2K resolution unlimited for a year. That's the plan.
