How to use this prompt

The candid angle keeps the headshot from looking stiff. Use for personal branding when a studio shot feels too corporate. If the background is too sharp, raise cfg or add "strong bokeh."

Variations to try

  • Urban professional — "blurred city street background, trench coat, overcast light"
  • Creative freelancer — "colorful mural background, casual knit sweater, warm light"
