Why this prompt works

Headshots fail when prompts don't specify lighting setup and lens focal length — the 85mm reference is shorthand for the flattering face compression that headshot photographers use. Adding industry tone ensures the result matches the professional context.

Tips for best results

  • Upload a reference photo of the actual person with 'using this person' for more accurate likeness (Midjourney --cref)
  • Add 'DSLR photo, not illustrated, not AI-looking' to push toward photorealism
  • Specify exact ethnicity and age for more accurate representation
  • For teams: generate one prompt and vary only the SUBJECT_DESCRIPTION to keep a consistent style across all headshots
