headshot — AI Image Prompt
Prompt
Use the person in the uploaded image. Do not change or alter the face, bone structure, gender, age, skin tone, hairstyle, or identity. Keep the same hair length and style exactly as in the uploaded photo. Pose: Head slightly tilted downward, eyes looking directly into the camera, creating a strong, mysterious expression. Clothing: A black high-neck sweater. One hand casually touching or lightly adjusting the collar (not covering the mouth). The face remains mostly visible, only a subtle gesture with the hand near the collar. Lighting & Background: Warm, soft studio lighting with a gentle shadow on one side of the face. Dark red background, plain, uniform, no patterns. Slight background blur, delicate film grain, and soft vignette on the edges. Framing: Chest-up portrait, subject centered in the frame. Rendering Style: Photorealistic, high resolution, natural realistic skin texture, no beautification, preserve real facial details and identity.

Why This Prompt Works
The high word count gives the model rich context, reducing ambiguity and producing more consistent results. The photorealistic and cinematic aesthetic signals are specific enough that the model can lock onto a distinct visual language. Explicit lighting direction (a leading signal in prompt engineering) significantly improves photo-realism and composition. Well-crafted prompts like this one combine subject precision, style vocabulary, and rendering hints — the three pillars of reliable AI image generation.
Best Model
FLUX is strongly recommended for this prompt. FLUX 1.1 Pro excels at photorealism and handles complex lighting instructions more accurately than older models.
