How to use this prompt

  1. 1Upload a clear waist-up photo with natural light and a plain background so the tool can preserve your face and the white shirt.
  2. 2Copy the full prompt, paste it with your photo, and keep the café setting, sunglasses, and soft daylight exactly as written for the first result.
  3. 3Check the sunglasses, shirt collar, and café background in the first image, then ask for one small fix at a time, such as softer blur or warmer light.
  4. 4Save the version you like, then try a variation by changing only the setting or the time of day while leaving the outfit and the pose unchanged.

Practical tips

  • Replace the greenery background with a minimalist studio backdrop to isolate the subject and create a cleaner, more focused composition.
  • Adjust the lighting direction to create more dramatic shadows and depth — try moving the key light from front to a 45-degree angle.
  • Change the expression from confident to direct eye contact for a more engaging, connection-driven portrait.
  • Remove the sunglasses for a cleaner, less accessorized look, or swap it for a different style to match your branding.
