A headshot that feels like you

LinkedIn inspiration for woman photos. A middle-aged Indian woman with medium brown skin, short wavy hair and rectangular spectacles wearing a teal blouse against a light grey office wall, with an approachable closed-mouth smile.

The magic prompt

Edit the supplied portrait into a natural professional headshot of the same person. Preserve identity, age, skin tone, hair, spectacles, meaningful facial marks and natural proportions. Improve facial exposure and use a quiet light-grey background; keep the original outfit unless a teal blouse is specifically requested. Appearance: Preserve the reference person’s actual hair length, part, waves, hairline, spectacles and expression. The preview shows short side-parted waves, rectangular dark frames and a mild closed-mouth smile; these are examples, not replacement identity features. Pose and expression: Use a relaxed head-and-shoulders composition with the eyes at lens height and shoulders slightly angled. Preserve the original expression unless a gentle professional smile is explicitly requested. Essential visible details: Maintain clear eyes through the original spectacle lenses, natural skin lines and the original hair edges; use soft window light and a quiet light-grey background. Preserve original framing unless a headshot crop is requested; never invent unseen body parts to fit a new crop. Output aspect ratio: 4:5, using a careful crop or background extension only where needed. Keep natural texture and plausible edges; avoid beauty smoothing, halos, added text or watermarks.

A little help getting started

How do I use this prompt with my own photo?

Attach your own clear reference photo in a tool that supports image references, then paste the complete prompt. For a group, provide the intended people and keep their identities distinct. If you also attach the PicMagic preview, label your photo as the identity reference and the preview as the style reference. The preview face should not replace yours.

Which details should I check in the result?

Maintain clear eyes through the original spectacle lenses, natural skin lines and the original hair edges; use soft window light and a quiet light-grey background. Check these against the preview and the prompt before accepting the result.

What if the tool leaves out a detail?

Edit the generated result rather than starting over: name the missing hairstyle, expression, forehead mark or accessory and where it belongs. Ask the tool to change only that feature while preserving the same person and all correct details. Use a masked edit if supported. Specific directions improve guidance, but exact identity or preview matching is not guaranteed.
