Best PromptsProfessional Headshot From a Selfie
Turn a casual selfie into a studio-quality LinkedIn headshot with Nano Banana: identity locked, wardrobe swapped, no plastic skin.
[Attach your photo, then use this prompt:] Transform this photo into a professional studio headshot for a LinkedIn profile. Keep the subject's face, facial features, expression, skin tone, and hairstyle exactly unchanged. This must remain recognizably the same person, with natural skin texture and no over-smoothing or beautification. Change the wardrobe to [OUTFIT: a well-fitted navy blazer over a plain crew-neck / a crisp light-blue button-down / a black turtleneck]. Replace the background with [SETTING: a softly blurred modern office with glass walls and warm natural light / a neutral warm-gray studio backdrop with a gentle vignette]. Light the subject with soft, flattering key light from slightly above and to the [left/right], with gentle fill so shadows stay soft. Colors natural and true to life. Frame as a head-and-shoulders crop, eyes in the upper third, shot with an 85mm portrait lens look and softly blurred background. Square 1:1 crop.
How to use
Use your best-lit selfie as the input: front-facing, no harsh shadows; the model can change everything except what it can't see. The identity-lock sentence is the load-bearing part: without it, edits drift toward a generic face. If the first result over-smooths, follow up with 'keep everything, restore natural skin texture'. Works in the Gemini app; iterate conversationally rather than re-rolling from scratch.
