Resume headshot from a casual photo

№ 28

№ The prompt

Edit this casual photo into a formal resume-ready headshot. Give the impression of business attire — a collared shirt or simple blazer — set the subject on a neutral mid-grey backdrop, balance the exposure on the face, and crop tight to a formal head-and-shoulders frame with the shoulders square to the camera. Keep the face, identity, expression, and natural skin exactly as in the original — only the attire impression, backdrop, lighting, and crop change. Do not slim the face, paint on a fake smile, or apply heavy retouching.

№ How to use it

  • Input

    One front-facing photo with the face clearly visible, neutral expression preferred. Use a synthetic or stock-style person, not a real identifiable individual.

  • Preserve

    Identity, expression, and natural skin — only the business attire impression, mid-grey backdrop, lighting, and tight crop change.

  • Avoid

    Heavy retouching, face slimming, or a fabricated smile. This guides a resume photo; it is not a studio session — inspect the result before submitting.
