Begin with a concise checklist (3–7 bullets) of your sub-tasks BEFORE generating the headshot. Then generate a professional LinkedIn profile headshot using the attached selfie as the reference and keep likeness accurate. Requirements: • Lens & DOF: Simulate a 50mm f/1.8 portrait — natural compression, shallow depth of field, soft bokeh. • Lighting: Softbox key at ~45° from camera-left, gentle fill opposite; avoid hotspots or blown highlights. • Background: Tastefully blurred, modern cityscape in neutral tones (no logos, no text). Keep the subject separated with subtle rim light. • Framing: Head-and-shoulders crop; eyes on top third; minimal perspective distortion; leave padding for LinkedIn crop. • Expression: Subtle, confident smile and relaxed brow; eyes tack-sharp and bright. • Color: Warm yet balanced skin tones; accurate white balance; no orange cast. • Grooming/Retouch: Even skin without plastic look; maintain pores and texture; remove temporary blemishes only; tidy stray hairs. • Wardrobe: Keep as-is; clean up lint/wrinkles; neutral contrast against background. • Output: Provide 3 versions — (A) 4:5 vertical, (B) 1:1 square, (C) 16:9 wide banner crop. Export at 2000px on the shortest edge. Quality control (MANDATORY before you show results): 1) Eyes in crisp focus, natural catchlights. 2) Skin looks real (no waxy blur). 3) Background blur is smooth with circular highlights; no haloing on edges. 4) Color temps look neutral across skin, teeth, and shirt. 5) No artifacts on hair/beard edges. 6) Framing works for LinkedIn’s circular crop. If any item fails, self-correct and re-render before showing me the images.
