Headshot & LinkedIn Photo Prompts

Headshot prompts turn a casual photo into a clean professional portrait for LinkedIn, a resume or a team page. They keep your face, skin texture and glasses exactly as they are and change only the clothing, backdrop and light, so the result still looks like you on a good day.

Corporate LinkedIn Headshot

Keep my face exactly as in the uploaded photo: same facial features, face shape, skin tone, eyebrows and hairstyle, with natural skin texture; do not slim, smooth or beautify the face. Keep any glasses I wear and my natural skin texture; no retouching. Create a professional head-and-shoulders headshot for LinkedIn. I wear a tailored navy blazer over a plain white shirt, shoulders angled slightly and head turned toward the camera with a relaxed, approachable smile. Plain mid-grey studio backdrop with a soft gradient, slightly lighter behind my head. Lighting: a large softbox at 45 degrees to the left, a white reflector on the right for gentle fill and a subtle hair light from behind. Shot with an 85mm lens at f/4, eyes in sharp focus, framed from mid-chest up with a little space above the head. Neutral, true-to-life color, confident and trustworthy mood. Square 1:1 aspect ratio. No readable text, logos or watermarks anywhere in the image.

Outdoor Natural Light Headshot

Keep my face exactly as in the uploaded photo: same facial features, face shape, skin tone, eyebrows and hairstyle, with natural skin texture; do not slim, smooth or beautify the face. Keep my natural skin texture and any glasses I wear. Create a natural outdoor headshot for a resume or LinkedIn profile. I wear a soft light blue button-down shirt, standing in open shade under trees, turned slightly to one side and looking at the camera with a warm smile. The background is a park with green foliage and bright gaps of sky, blurred into smooth, creamy bokeh. Lighting: soft daylight from open shade, with a white reflector below my face for gentle fill and bright catchlights. Shot with a 105mm lens at f/2, head and shoulders framing, eyes sharp. Fresh, natural colors with gentle warmth, friendly and approachable mood. Vertical 4:5 aspect ratio. No readable text, logos or watermarks anywhere in the image.
