Step 1:Craft a Career-Defining Headshot

Recruiters skim for 0.7 seconds—give them a frame that screams “corner office”. Swap hoodies for executive tailoring in one click.

1. Corporate Executive Look

Prompt:Convert the uploaded portrait into a half-length corporate headshot in classic American style; keep original facial identity. Background: textured studio blue, softly lit and slightly blurred. Subject: sharp focus, natural skin tone, clean elegant framing. Outfit: minimalist black sleeveless dress, subtle gold accessories. Expression: relaxed, confident, bright eyes, genuine smile. High-resolution, polished and professional.

2. Apple-Keynote Chic

Prompt:Same as above but change dress to charcoal turtleneck & cream blazer; background desaturated slate; add rim light for tech-speaker vibe.

3. Lawyer-Credible

Prompt:Dark navy suit, pearl earrings, soft beige backdrop, symmetrical composition—trustworthy yet approachable.

Step 2:Produce a Fashion Editorial

Magazines pay thousands for this lighting. You get it for the price of a sentence—complete with diamond-strapped dresses and lazy up-dos.

4. Black-Tank Glamour

Prompt:Commercial portrait of the lady in the original photo, keep identical facial features. She has a laid-back low bun with loose strands, natural nude make-up (glowing base, defined lashes, coral-pink lips). Outfit: black slip dress whose straps are shiny crystal chains; matching diamond tassel earrings, slim silver bracelet & rings. Half-body, seated sideways at a black gloss table, one hand gently supporting her face, gaze to camera. Pure grey seamless backdrop. Soft studio light from front-side, low saturation warm-grey palette, 85 mm lens look, shallow depth of field, premium finish.

Step 3:Drop Yourself Inside an Art Gallery

Turn travel selfies into candid fine-art shots that look stolen from a Hasselblad wielded in Tate Modern.

5. “Lost in MoMA” Series

Prompt:High-contrast black & white photo in a modern art gallery. Candid “stolen shot” of a young woman standing still among a blurred moving crowd. Slightly slanted angle, face partly turned (not fully side view/camera). 3/4 body shot (mid-thigh up). Wearing a long dark coat, hands in pockets. Behind her: framed Banksy artworks arranged in a grid.

Step 4:Sculpt Light Like a Cinematographer

When colour feels noisy, let shadows speak. Generate four monochrome poses that belong on a gallery wall—or your next album cover.

6. Film-Grain Poetry

Prompt:Transform the uploaded photo into a black & white portrait art piece, editorial & art photography style. Background: gentle gradient from mid-grey to almost white, creating depth and silence. Subtle film grain for an analogue feel. Subject’s face caressed by a single soft directional light, eyes catching a faint sparkle; mood is mysterious, intimate, elegant. Plenty of negative space, no text or logos. Generate four different poses.

(**Demo:** B&W art demo)

Step 5:Snag a Magazine Cover

Ever dreamed of staring back from the newsstand? Generate three vintage-Hollywood covers without ever meeting a photo crew.

7. Vintage Vogue Spread

Prompt:Using my picture, create a chic fashion portrait of a glamorous woman sitting indoors, holding and reading a fashion magazine. She wears a patterned silk headscarf, black cat-eye sunglasses, sheer mesh gloves, and a simple black dress with thin straps. Bold dark-red lips, pearl necklace. Style: vintage Hollywood elegance, sophistication & mystery. Bright minimal background, soft natural lighting. Generate 3 variations with different poses.

Step 6:Go Full Cinematic

End with a frame that feels paused from a Denis Villeneuve flick—moody pinks slicing through velvety darkness.

8. Neo-Noir Chair Shot

Prompt:A stylish cinematic portrait of a woman seated on a modern chair indoors, 3/4 angle, body slightly reclined, one arm draped casually over the chair, calm & confident. Identical face & hair to the reference photo. All-black outfit: dark turtleneck and structured blazer. Background: smooth dark wall with geometric window light casting soft pink-purple glow, subtle colour on hair & shoulder edges. Moody art lighting, soft shadows, cinematic contrast. Colour grade: deep blacks, muted skin tones, vibrant pink highlights. No text, logos or watermarks.
