The person should be wearing [ATTIRE] appropriate for the [INDUSTRY] field. Capture from mid-chest up with the face occupying approximately 40% of the frame. Expression should be confident and approachable with a natural smile showing slight teeth. Subject should be looking directly at camera. Step 2 → Lighting & Background Setup Use studio-quality lighting with soft key light from 45-degrees, fill light to reduce shadows, and subtle rim light to create professional edge definition. Background should be solid neutral color (soft blue, grey, or beige) or subtle gradient, slightly out of focus. Ensure lighting creates a natural catch light in the eyes without harsh shadows. Step 3 → Composition & Technical Details Frame the subject using professional headshot composition with slight angle of body (15-degrees from camera) while face is directly forward. Apply shallow depth of field (f/2.8 effect) for professional bokeh. Use high-resolution rendering with pristine details on face. Create natural skin texture without over-retouching. Step 4 → Professional Enhancement Add subtle professional enhancements including: slight brightening under eyes, natural color correction for even skin tone while preserving authenticity, crisp focus on eyes, and professional color grading that conveys competence and trustworthiness. Avoid overly dramatic lighting or filters. Step 5 → LinkedIn Optimization Finalize the image with LinkedIn-specific optimizations: create square crop with appropriate headroom, ensure background has sufficient contrast with profile circle overlay, optimize brightness and contrast for both desktop and mobile viewing, and create professional scene that conveys industry relevance without distracting elements. Pro Tip: When creating a LinkedIn profile picture, choose attire one level more formal than your everyday work clothes, and opt for solid colors rather than busy patterns to maintain a clean, professional appearance that won't distract from your face.sical characteristics (e.g., glasses, beard) [ATTIRE] = Professional clothing style [INDUSTRY] = Your professional field Step 1 → Subject Specification Create a professional headshot of a [GENDER] in their [AGE_RANGE] with [FEATURES].
