Prompt: professional headshot
Turn this photo into a clean professional headshot for LinkedIn or a company profile. Keep my exact face, facial proportions, skin tone, hairstyle, hairline, age, expression, head angle, shoulder position, body proportions, and recognizable features unchanged. Use a chest-up crop, the same eye-level viewpoint, soft believable studio lighting, and a simple [BACKGROUND].

Keep my current outfit. If I specify [OUTFIT], replace only my clothing and fit it naturally to my existing neck, shoulders, arms, and torso without changing my pose or body shape.

Preserve real skin texture, pores, small blemishes, fine lines, and natural under-eye texture. Do not smooth the skin, reshape my face or body, add facial glow, or create a generic stock-photo look. No text, logos, jewelry, or watermark.

Next Replace the brackets with your own details and send it to ChatGPT with your photo.

ChatGPT can now give your photos the finish you’d normally pay a professional photographer for.

These 6 prompts use ChatGPT’s free image tools for professional headshots, cinematic stills, travel photos, magazine shoots, old-photo restoration, and golden-hour relighting. They work across different people and scenes, and can save you the cost of booking a shoot or hiring a retoucher.

Everyday photo to cinematic still:

Prompt: cinematic still
Turn this photo into a cinematic still set in [SCENE]. Keep my exact identity, facial proportions, skin tone, age, hair, expression, pose, body proportions, and clothing unchanged.

Use a widescreen composition and realistic skin texture. Light me with soft, believable light from [VISIBLE LIGHT SOURCE], and make every highlight and shadow consistent with that source. The light source should belong naturally in the scene and be visible in the frame whenever practical.

Add natural environmental depth and subtle film grain. Make it feel like a frame captured on set, without waxy skin, fake lens flare, extreme color grading, pasted edges, or changes to my face or body. No readable text, logos, or watermark.

Put yourself anywhere:

Prompt: put yourself anywhere
Place me naturally in [DESTINATION] at [TIME OF DAY]. Keep my exact identity, facial features, skin tone, age, hairstyle, expression, body proportions, pose, clothing, subject scale, camera viewpoint, and original framing unchanged.

Match the location’s real architecture, street geometry, perspective, scale, weather, light direction, shadows, reflections, depth, and color temperature. Include subtle lived-in details and an imperfect everyday composition so it looks like a casual photograph captured there, not a tourism campaign.

Avoid famous landmarks unless requested, postcard symmetry or saturation, incorrect architecture, pasted edges, halos, mismatched lighting, beauty retouching, text, and watermarks.

Selfie to magazine campaign:

Prompt: magazine campaign
Turn this photo into a high-end editorial portrait for a magazine or brand campaign. Keep my exact identity, facial features, skin tone, age, hairstyle, body proportions, and natural skin texture unchanged.

Dress me in [OUTFIT] against [BACKGROUND]. Use controlled soft studio lighting, realistic fabric and hair texture, a subtle three-quarter pose, and a clean vertical waist-up composition. Place me slightly off-center with intentional negative space for future copy.

Add no text, logos, jewelry, or props. Avoid beauty-filter smoothing, plastic skin, exaggerated makeup, theatrical posing, distorted anatomy, and facial redesign.

Restore an old family photo:

Prompt: restore an old family photo
Restore this old photograph while preserving the people’s exact identities, ages, expressions, poses, period, and clothing.

Remove only physical and scanning damage: scratches, dust, stains, fading, creases, and scanning noise. Recover only details supported by the source image, and retain natural photographic grain and age-appropriate texture. Do not smooth or beautify faces.

Keep the exact original aspect ratio, crop, framing, subject scale, object positions, and full border. Do not zoom, reframe, extend, or reconstruct the composition.

Do not modernize the scene, invent missing details or objects, alter body or facial features, or colorize the photograph unless explicitly requested.

Add realistic golden-hour light:

Prompt: golden-hour light
Relight this photo as if it were taken during golden hour. Keep my exact identity, face, skin tone, clothing, pose, body proportions, location, object positions, camera angle, crop, and composition unchanged.

Place the warm, low-angle sun just outside the frame on the viewer’s [LEFT / RIGHT]. Illuminate that same side of my face and body, and cast all new shadows in the physically opposite direction. Make every highlight and shadow follow this single light direction.

Keep my face and skin on a neutral, natural white balance close to the source photo. Confine most of the golden warmth to directional highlights and the surrounding scene, rather than changing my base skin color. Preserve pores and fine detail.

Avoid orange or yellow skin, fake lens flare, glowing edges, oversaturation, and inconsistent shadows.
