A hyper-realistic, high-fidelity professional headshot of the subject from the provided reference image, strictly maintaining exact facial likeness and identity. The subject is framed in a classic head-and-shoulders portrait against a solid, matte dark charcoal seamless studio background. The subject is wearing a sharp, dark navy blazer over a simple black t-shirt or turtleneck, projecting a modern clean aesthetic. The lighting is a professional high-contrast studio setup, sculpting the facial features with controlled shadows (Rembrandt style), completely void of natural daylight. A subtle cool-toned rim light separates the subject from the dark background. Shot on a Phase One XF IQ4 with an 85mm f/1.4 portrait lens, capturing razor-sharp focus on the eyes, realistic skin texture, and the fine weave of the fabric in 8k resolution.

How to adapt the prompt

Keep the core idea of Professional CEO headshot, then change the details that control identity, style, color, background, and framing.

Subject and likeness
Use 1 image and keep the defining subject details intact. Focus on this subject requirement: preserve facial structure, expression, hair, and identity while improving polish and presentation.
Style intensity
Dial the style up or down while preserving this intent: a clean professional portrait treatment with credible polish, approachability, and restrained styling.
Color palette
Keep, limit, or replace the color direction while respecting this goal: subtle, trustworthy color that supports skin tone, wardrobe, and business context.
Background simplicity
Use the background as a control surface: a clean studio or workplace background that keeps attention on the person.
Composition and crop
Start with 3:4 (Portrait). Then adjust the framing around this composition goal: compose for 3:4 (Portrait), with clear head-and-shoulders framing, natural posture, and polished spacing.

Common fixes

If Professional CEO headshot is close but not usable yet, make one of these targeted prompt edits before changing everything.

Subject drift
If the subject drifts, add a direct instruction to preserve facial structure, expression, hair, and identity while improving polish and presentation.
Too busy or chaotic
Ask for fewer competing elements while preserving the intended style: a clean professional portrait treatment with credible polish, approachability, and restrained styling.
Colors overpower the subject
Limit saturation, reduce competing colors, and keep the palette aligned with this goal: subtle, trustworthy color that supports skin tone, wardrobe, and business context.
Image feels flat
Strengthen light direction, depth, and separation using this lighting goal: soft professional lighting that keeps the face clear, confident, and natural.
