Prompt Template

professional headshot of [[your key features: hair color/style, approximate age, distinguishing features]], [[expression, e.g. "warm confident smile"]], [[outfit, e.g. "navy blazer, no tie"]], [[background per platform above]], natural soft lighting, high detail, photorealistic --ar 1:1

Worked Examples

Example 1: LinkedIn, Corporate

Prompt: "professional headshot, woman in her 30s, shoulder-length brown hair, warm confident smile, navy blazer, soft blurred office background, natural window lighting, photorealistic, high detail --ar 1:1"

Example 2: Discord, Stylized

Prompt: "stylized digital avatar portrait, man with short beard and glasses, vibrant purple gradient background, semi-realistic illustration style, confident expression --ar 1:1"

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Generic prompts that produce a stock-photo stranger instead of a version of you
  • Wrong crop/aspect ratio for the platform, getting awkwardly cropped by the platform's own display
  • Mismatched vibe: overly casual for LinkedIn, overly stiff for Discord
  • Not checking for AI-photo tells (asymmetric ears, odd hands if visible, waxy skin) before uploading
  • Using the same image everywhere when each platform actually benefits from a matched vibe

Anchor the prompt to your real features and match the vibe to the platform: that combination is what makes it look intentional, not generic.
