The prompt
Create a professional business portrait (headshot) of a person.
Person: [your job or role], confident and friendly expression, a subtle smile, looking directly into the camera.
Clothing: [your clothing style, e.g. a dark blazer over a light shirt], clean and well fitted.
Framing: head and shoulders, the person placed slightly off center, looking toward the open side of the frame, a natural and upright posture.
Lighting: soft softbox studio light from a front angle, a gentle fill on the shadow side, a discreet rim light that separates the person clearly from the background. Balanced skin tones, no harsh shadows, no blown highlights.
Background: [your background color, e.g. neutral grey], smooth and slightly out of focus, free of distractions.
Look and technique: photorealistic, shot as if with an 85mm prime lens at a wide aperture, soft bokeh background, fine skin texture visible, calm color grading, the premium feel of a real photo studio.
Mood: serious, competent, approachable.

Frequently asked
Can Midjourney show my real face?
No. The prompt creates an invented, photorealistic person, not a copy of you. For a portrait with your own face you need either a real photo as an image reference or a dedicated service. The prompt works well for generic business shots, placeholders and style tests.
How do I get several team photos in the same style?
Keep the lighting, background and technical settings exactly as they are and only swap the role and clothing. That keeps the look and feel consistent across every portrait.
