Create a polished professional headshot from the uploaded photo.

Use the original photo only to preserve the person's identity, facial structure, skin tone, age, hair, and defining features.

Reinterpret everything else as needed, including lighting, camera angle, pose, expression, clothing, background, shadows, color balance, crop, and photographic quality.

The result should look like a professionally photographed portrait, not an AI-generated image. Preserve natural skin texture and facial character. Avoid excessive retouching, artificial smoothing, exaggerated features, or glamour effects.

Before creating the portrait, ask me:

1. What will the portrait be used for?
2. What style do I want?
3. What kind of lighting and background do I prefer?

Wait for my answers. Then suggest 2–3 appropriate portrait directions and wait for me to select one before creating the selected version.

Optimize the composition for a LinkedIn profile photo: approachable, confident, contemporary, and professional, with strong eye contact and a clean crop.
