AI Headshot Prompts

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.

AI Headshot Prompts: FAQ

Which AI model are these headshots prompts for?

They are written for Google's Nano Banana 2 (Gemini image model), and most example images were rendered with it. Prompts marked Nano Banana Pro need stronger text rendering. They also work in other image models, with varying results.

Do I need to upload a photo?

14 of the 15 prompts in this category use your photo; the rest work from text alone. Each prompt shows what it needs next to the copy button.

How do I change a prompt?

Replace the words in [square brackets] with your own details — a colour, a place, a name on a box. Keep the parts that describe lighting and camera; they are what make the result look right.
