That's how fast someone decides if they trust you.

What's your headshot saying?

Your profile photo is the first thing people see.

Before they read your headline. Before they scroll your posts.

And most LinkedIn photos are:
↳ Outdated
↳ Low quality
↳ Not aligned with your brand

Here are 5 AI prompts to create a professional headshot that converts 👇

(I created these with Google Gemini Nano Banana)

𝟭) 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿
PROMPT: A polished, international-style professional headshot with a clean, modern, and timeless aesthetic. The subject has a friendly, open expression, suitable for diverse audiences. The background is a neutral, light-toned gradient, possibly with a blurred hint of a cityscape or world map. Use a bright, expansive white window lighting to broad, even and flattering.

𝟮) 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁
PROMPT: A professional, high-resolution profile photo, maintaining the contemporary square format with key features of the person in the focal image. The subject is framed from the chest up, with ample headroom and negative space above their head, ensuring the top of their head is not cropped. The subject is looking directly into the camera, and the subject's body is also directly facing the camera. They are styled for a professional photo studio shoot, wearing a sharp, fitted navy blue blazer. The background is a solid 18% neutral gray. Captured with a low camera angle with bright and airy soft, diffused studio lighting, gently illuminating the face and creating a subtle catchlight in the eyes. Captured on an 85mm f/1.8 lens with a shallow depth of field, exquisite focus on the eyes, and beautiful, soft bokeh.

𝟯) 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁
PROMPT: A warm, natural-looking headshot with soft, diffused natural-looking light, possibly from a large window. The subject has a relaxed, confident, and engaging expression. They are wearing business casual attire. The background is a warm-toned interior, such as a professional co-working image or a stylish, muted library setting.

𝟰) 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿
PROMPT: Relaxed, smart casual portrait, wearing a dark colored sweater. Confident, approachable look, bright, nice warm studio lighting, workplace environment elements in background.

𝟱) 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲
PROMPT: Natural outdoor professional headshot of a business professional in blazer, background softly blurred with greenery and natural elements. Captured on a 105mm f/2 lens, golden-hour lighting. Relaxed and genuine, gentle smile, hair slightly wind-tousled, natural skin texture, focus with creamy bokeh.
