Supporting context
The article presents a practitioner workflow in which a single selfie is uploaded to ChatGPT Plus and transformed into four distinct headshots using carefully structured prompts. Each prompt instructs the model to preserve facial features exactly while varying lighting, background, and attire to match platform norms: corporate polish for LinkedIn, warmth for Facebook, edge for X.com, and energy for TikTok. Kamil Banc extends the method with profession-specific background modifiers and acknowledges limitations, noting AI headshots do not replace professional photographers for milestone or high-end imagery. Advanced alternatives like LoRAs with Stable Diffusion and Flux.dev are offered for users needing maximum control and brand consistency. A commenter counters that using one identical photo everywhere may better serve brand consistency, highlighting an unresolved strategic debate.
