The prompt
Use the person from the uploaded photo as the primary reference. Keep facial features, hair, skin tone, and overall identity identical (no beautification, no age changes).
Scene: Modern corporate studio portrait shoot.
Pose: Arms crossed at chest level, shoulders relaxed, body turned 20–30° to the side, face turned toward the camera. Expression: neutral and confident with a subtle friendly smile.
Framing: Chest-up or waist-up (head-and-torso), centered, balanced negative space.
Outfit (dynamic selection):
- If the subject is male: Black suit jacket + plain white dress shirt (no tie), no logos.
- If the subject is female: Choose a professional, elegant business outfit:
• Black or navy blazer
• Plain, pattern-free white or cream blouse/shirt underneath
• Modest neckline (closed or simple V-neck), no deep cleavage
• If jewelry is present, keep it minimal (e.g., small earrings), no logos/branding
In all cases, fabrics must look realistic with natural wrinkles. Avoid flashy fashion elements.
Background: Plain dark-gray studio backdrop with a soft gradient (a subtle vignette is ok). No distracting objects.
Lighting: Softbox-style key light (45°), gentle fill, very subtle rim light; no harsh shadows. Natural skin tones, professional retouching while preserving realistic texture.
Camera: 85mm portrait lens feel, f/2.8–f/4, slight background blur, high sharpness (especially the eyes).
Color: Cinematic but natural, low saturation, clean contrast.
Rules: No text, no logos, no watermarks, no extra people. Hands/fingers must be natural and correct. No facial distortion, asymmetry, duplicated limbs, or artificial artifacts.
Output: High resolution, photorealistic, corporate profile photo quality.

Which AI model works best
These prompts are written for image-generation models (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Flux) — not chat LLMs. Copy them into your image tool. Midjourney v7 excels at photorealistic portraits; Stable Diffusion 3.5 is the best for fine-tuning and custom checkpoints; DALL-E 3 integrates seamlessly with ChatGPT.
How to customize this prompt
Keep the style descriptors and lighting keywords — these are what make the output consistent. Change the subject, background, and pose freely. Add or remove quality modifiers like "hyper-detailed", "cinematic lighting", "35mm film". For Stable Diffusion, use weight syntax: (keyword:1.3) to emphasize.
