A good headshot is mostly lighting, framing and a calm background. These prompts describe exactly that — soft key light, shoulders-up crop, neutral or office backdrop, clothing that fits the job — while telling the model to keep your real features. They work best with a sharp, front-facing selfie in even light.

Subject: gender-neutral / slightly masculine, short hair, clean profile, wearing a dark form-fitting turtleneck that disappears into pure black background. Composition: strict side-profile (face turned ~90° from camera) looking slightly upward and to the side, conveying contemplation/aspiration. Lighting: single extremely hard, concentrated light placed directly behind and slightly to the side of the subject to produce a very narrow, intense rim light that traces the head, jawline, brow, neck and arm — rim should be razor-sharp and bright white against a true black background; the rest of the face should remain in deep shadow with only the rim defining contours. Camera & technical: photorealistic, 85mm medium telephoto, shallow depth of field (tight head-and-shoulders crop), fine film grain, extremely high dynamic range (emphasize bright rim vs deep black), crisp detail at edges, subtle skin texture visible where rim light catches it. Mood & style: cinematic, minimalist, austere, dramatic. Preserve natural facial features, avoid stylization or exaggeration.
