Prompt guidance
Ask for a polished professional headshot with clean wardrobe, neutral or office-friendly background, flattering studio lighting, natural skin finish, sharp eyes, confident posture, and LinkedIn-ready framing. Specify that face shape, expression, hairstyle, and likeness should remain recognizable.
Review before you publish
The output is a generated portrait, so review it carefully before professional use. It is best for profile presentation and should be checked for likeness, realism, and context fit.
Check likeness first
Compare eyes, face shape, expression, skin texture, hairline, and hairstyle with the original portrait to make sure the person still looks like themselves.
Look for detail artifacts
Inspect teeth, glasses, earrings, collar, lapels, hair edges, and hands if visible. Small distortions in these areas can make a polished portrait feel less believable.
Match the professional context
Confirm that the crop, background, wardrobe, and lighting match the intended setting, whether it is LinkedIn, a team page, a founder profile, or a speaker bio.
