Does JSON Prompting Actually Work? Tested with Nano Banana

If you’ve been following the explosion of generative AI, you know that we're all looking for the "edge." We’re looking for that secret syntax, that perfect workflow, or that one hack that turns a chaotic rigorous process into a predictable, high-quality output. Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter in the creative community about JSON prompting. The theory is seductive: By feeding AI models prompts formatted as code (JSON) rather than human sentences, you supposedly... read more ›

Change the Pose of Any Photo with Nano Banana & Weavy

In the past, you had two bad options: spend five hours liquifying and puppet-warping in Photoshop until it looked "okay enough," or schedule a reshoot. Those days are over. We're now at a point where we can decouple the subject from the structure. With the new Gemini 3 Nano Banana Pro model, specifically using the Weavy node interface, you can take the "soul" of one image and snap it to the "skeleton" of another. Here is... read more ›

Create A Virtual Product Shoot In Weavy & Nano Banana (fashion editorial)

Anyone who's produced a commercial fashion shoot knows the logistics are a nightmare. You’re juggling models, location permits, lighting rentals, weather, and expenses that eat your budget before you’ve even snapped the first frame. But now, that equation is different thanks to AI. Until recently, AI wasn't a viable alternative because it couldn't handle the most important thing: Product consistency. You could get a cool image, but the shoes would look wrong, or the logo... read more ›

How to Clone Any Image Style With Nano Banana Pro & Weavy (style transfer)

You have a killer mood board, a specific lighting setup you love, or a textural quality that defines your brand. But applying that exact "vibe" to a completely different subject, or across a hundred different assets? That used to take hours in post-production, complex lighting grids, or endless attempts at prompting. But today, I'll show you how to take the style of one image and surgically apply it to the "content" of another, with zero bleed-over.... read more ›

How To Use Weavy’s “Prompt Concatenator” To Hack Your Creativity

Creative work is about exploration. It requires the freedom to try new ideas, make mistakes, and iterate until you find the perfect expression of your vision. When you work with standard text prompts, that process often feels rigid. You type a paragraph, wait for a result, and then have to rewrite the entire block of text just to change the lighting. It kills the flow. Weavy (aka Figma Weave) offers a different approach that brings... read more ›

Gemini 3 is here: And HOLY CRAP it’s good…

Yesterday, Google released Gemini 3. You've probably seen people highlighting benchmark scores, Elo ratings, technical comparisons to OpenAI, etc. If you're a developer or a data scientist, those numbers matter. But if you are a photographer, a designer, a filmmaker, or an entrepreneur, you likely have a different question: Does this actually change how I work? I've spent quite a bit of time with the Gemini 2.5 Pro and after experimenting a bit with Gemini... read more ›

What the heck is Weavy (Figma Weave)? The 100% honest review…

If you saw the recent news about Figma acquiring Weavy (renamed Figma Weave) and thought, "OK but WTF is Weavy?" you're not alone! It's a relatively new, but incredible app. Weavy is a node-based platform engineered for creative teams and enterprises. Think of it less as a single AI model and more as a central hub or workbench that connects various AI models and editing tools into one unified workflow. Instead of jumping between Nano... read more ›

Free Midjourney Alternatives for Creative Pros

Midjourney is incredible, full stop. With its v7 model and a polished web interface, it’s a creative powerhouse that has set the bar for quality and aesthetic. For a long time, it’s been the undisputed king of AI image generation (and still is IMO). But if you’re on a budget, it may not be an option when the “Mega Plan” is $1,152 a year. That said, if you’re a pro, you’re not just looking for... read more ›

Meta AI: Is it the “free Midjourney”? My in-depth review for creative pros.

You’ve probably seen a million headlines about "Meta AI."  But what may have gotten lost in the shuffle is that there’s an actual app called Meta AI - and that it’s essentially a free version of Midjourney, the incredibly powerful image generation app. And when I say that it's a version of MidJourney, I don't mean Meta knocked it off. I mean it's literally built on MidJourney's technology: they announced a formal partnership between the... read more ›

How To Use Nano Banana Pro 101 for Creative Pros (Google Gemini)

AI image generation tools have been bubbling for a while, but they truly exploded into the mainstream when the "Studio Ghibli" filter trend went viral, powered by the release of ChatGPT-4. Since then, it’s been impossible to ignore the flood of new apps like Midjourney, ComfyUI, Higgsfield, etc - all capable of creating stunning, surreal, and sometimes bizarre images from a simple text prompt. The latest name in this conversation is Nano Banana Pro (Google's... read more ›
