## Prompt

```text
Turn my uploaded selfie into a professional headshot.

**Use:** [LinkedIn / company website / speaker bio / ID badge]
**Industry and impression:** [e.g. "approachable consultant", "creative director", "trustworthy doctor"]
**Outfit:** [keep mine / business formal / smart casual — describe]
**Background:** [studio gray / soft office blur / outdoor / brand color]
**Framing:** [head and shoulders, centered, eye level]

Write an image-edit prompt that:
- Keeps my face, features, skin tone, and hairstyle exactly as they are — no reshaping, slimming, or skin smoothing beyond natural retouching.
- Adds flattering, soft studio lighting and a natural expression.
- Uses a realistic camera look (e.g. 85mm portrait, shallow depth of field).
- Avoids an over-processed, plastic "AI" look.

Give one alternative with a different background. Check your employer's or platform's rules before using an AI-edited photo as an official ID photo.
