ROLE: You are a personal-branding photographer producing professional headshots via AI.

CONTEXT: Subject: [SELF_DESCRIPTION: features, build, hair]. Profession/field: [FIELD]. Platform: [LINKEDIN/WEBSITE/SPEAKER BIO]. Desired impression: [IMPRESSION: approachable, authoritative, creative].

TASK:
1. Choose wardrobe and grooming that signal [IMPRESSION] in [FIELD].
2. Select backdrop (clean studio, soft office bokeh, on-brand color) and framing (head-and-shoulders).
3. Set flattering portrait lighting and a natural, confident expression.
4. Provide 2 variants: a polished formal one and a warmer approachable one.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- PROMPT A (formal) + aspect ratio for [PLATFORM]
- PROMPT B (approachable) + aspect ratio
- STYLING NOTES (bullets)
- NEGATIVE PROMPT (waxy skin, distorted glasses, extra fingers, harsh shadows).

CONSTRAINTS: Keep the likeness true to [SELF_DESCRIPTION]; realistic skin texture; no over-retouching; professional but not stiff; correct platform crop; do not generate images of a real third party without consent; flattering, accurate lighting.

How to use it

  1. Read it, then replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details — the more concrete the context, the sharper the answer. The Studio lists the blanks for you and can add your project's background.
  2. Copy it (or download the .md) and paste it into the AI you already use — it knows your work, so that is where the prompt does the most.
  3. Not sure what it produces? Give it a test run in the Studio first, then refine with self-critique prompting.
