Professional headshot from a casual selfie

BeforeAfter

№ The prompt

Edit this casual selfie into a polished professional headshot. Stand the subject before a neutral mid-grey seamless backdrop, sculpt with a soft key from the front-left plus a gentle fill on the right, and compose a head-and-shoulders business portrait that mimics an 85mm real-photo look. Preserve the facial identity, hairline, pores, and expression exactly as captured, changing only the studio lighting, sweep, and crop. Avoid narrowing the face, shifting eye colour, or smoothing skin into wax. If you supply a couple of reference angles, identity tends to match more closely, though this assists rather than replaces a real photographer, so check the output against your source.

№ How to use it

  • Input

    One clear casual front-facing selfie of a synthetic or stock-style person, not a real identifiable individual, under natural light with the whole face unobstructed; you may optionally add a couple of reference angles for a stronger identity match.

  • Preserve

    True facial identity, hairline, skin pores, and expression stay as captured — only the seamless backdrop, two-source studio lighting, and head-and-shoulders crop change.

  • Avoid

    Narrowing the face, shifting eye colour, or smoothing skin into a waxy finish. This guides the edit but does not replace a real photographer — check the result against the original.
