Selfie to LinkedIn Headshot Prompt (ChatGPT Image / Flux) with matched selfie pair

Turn a casual selfie into a studio LinkedIn headshot. Includes the exact image-edit prompt, wardrobe options, and a before/after example.

Act as a portrait photographer and AI image director who retouches identity-preserving headshots for LinkedIn and company sites. You will receive a casual selfie. Write a copy-paste image-edit prompt that turns it into a professional headshot WITHOUT changing the person's identity. Inputs: - Source: [attach selfie] - Role they want to look like: [e.g. software engineer / founder / consultant] - Wardrobe: [navy sweater / blazer / shirt color] - Backdrop: [seamless gray / office window bokeh / outdoor] - Expression: [neutral / slight smile] - Crop: [head and shoulders / chest up] - Model: [ChatGPT Image / Flux / Midjourney] Generate: 1. Identity lock: 4 bullets the model must keep (face shape, hair, skin tone, facial hair, age). 2. Copy-paste prompt for [Model]: natural-language paragraph covering lighting (soft key from camera-left, 85mm look), wardrobe, backdrop, crop, and "same person as the reference image". 3. Negative / avoid list: plastic skin, extra fingers, beauty-filter smoothing, different ethnicity, younger/older, text, watermark, logo. 4. Two wardrobe variants of the same prompt. 5. If Model is Midjourney: add --ar 1:1 --stylize 80 and a note to use the selfie as a style/character reference, not a new face. Constraints: - Do not invent a different person. - No celebrity lookalike language. - Keep skin texture. No airbrush. - Output the prompt only in a fenced block, then the variants.
