Prompt to turn your selfie into a professional profile photo

Give it a casual selfie and your brand, and AI builds the prompt to turn that photo into a coherent professional portrait, ready for LinkedIn or your site.

There isn't always time (or budget) for a professional photo shoot, but your profile photo still matters if you want to be taken seriously. This prompt turns your casual selfie into the exact prompt to generate a professional portrait that matches your brand, while keeping your real face.

For: Nano BananaChatGPTMidjourney
Full prompt
Act as a corporate portrait photographer and an expert in prompts for image generators.

From the description of my casual selfie and how I'll use it, write me a prompt in English to turn that photo into a professional profile photo, keeping my real face and features, without inventing a different face.

Description of my selfie: [E.G. phone photo, window light, casual clothes, my bedroom background]
Where I'll use it: [LinkedIn, website, email signature, all of them]
The mood I want to convey: [E.G. approachable but serious / expert and trustworthy / creative]
Clothing I prefer (if I want to change it): [E.G. dark blazer, light shirt, keep my current outfit]

Give me:
1. A main prompt in English for an image-to-image edit model: keep the EXACT face, skin and features from the original photo, change only background, lighting, framing and clothing.
2. Technical specs: bust/headshot framing, soft studio lighting, neutral blurred background, square 1:1 aspect ratio.
3. A note on what to say if the result looks "too retouched" (how to ask for more natural results).
4. A short tip for picking the best base selfie (angle, light, expression) before generating.

Rules: don't invent facial features that aren't in the description; the goal is a polished version of the SAME person, not a new face. If a detail is missing for a recommendation, mark it as [detail to verify] instead of assuming it.
