Generate a photorealistic LinkedIn professional headshot using [your selfie] as the face reference. The person should be wearing a clean, fitted slate-gray crewneck sweater with no visible logos. Place them against a pure off-white seamless studio backdrop lit with a large softbox from the upper-left, creating a gentle Rembrandt-style shadow on the right cheek. The expression should be warm, approachable, and confident — a slight natural smile with direct eye contact. Keep the framing a tight head-and-shoulders crop with the face slightly off-center to the right. Skin tones should look natural and flattering, not over-smoothed. The image should feel like it was taken by a professional photographer in a $500/hour studio, not AI-generated. Final output should be crisp, high-resolution, and optimized for a LinkedIn profile photo.

Professional LinkedIn headshot photograph of [your selfie reference], shot indoors near a large floor-to-ceiling window with natural diffused daylight streaming in from camera-left. Subject is wearing a crisp white oxford shirt with the top button undone, sleeves slightly rolled — creative professional energy. Background is a softly bokeh'd modern office interior with warm wood tones and plants barely visible. Lighting is bright, airy, and editorial — high key with no harsh shadows. Expression is relaxed confidence, direct gaze, genuine half-smile. Head-and-shoulders framing, face sharp, slight tilt. Shot on Canon EOS R5 with 85mm f/1.4 lens. Photorealistic, 4K, editorial quality.

Create a high-key black and white fine art studio portrait of [your selfie]. The lighting should be soft and even, produced by a large octabox directly in front of the subject and a white reflector below to eliminate under-chin shadows. The background is pure white, seamlessly blending with the lightest skin tones to create an ethereal, glowing effect. Skin retouching is natural — pores visible, no plastic smoothing. Eyes are sharp with a bright, round catchlight. The tonal range is compressed toward the highlights with rich, creamy midtones and gentle lift in the shadows. The overall aesthetic recalls Irving Penn's studio portraiture: clean, dignified, architectural in its simplicity. Render at portrait orientation, photorealistic, editorial quality.
