Overview
What is an AI portrait photoshoot?
An AI portrait photoshoot uses an image model to put your real face into professional-looking photos: a magazine editorial, a film snapshot, a Korean studio profile or a hanfu garden portrait. Instead of hiring a photographer, you upload one clear selfie and describe the shoot.
The trick is writing like a photographer: outfit, setting, light direction, lens and mood. This page gives you 8 complete looks, each written for women and for men, all with fully clothed adults and a face lock so the result still looks like you.
Only your own face. Use selfies of yourself, or of someone who agreed. Don't create photoshoots of real celebrities or strangers, keep every look fully clothed and non-sexual, and don't present AI photos as real for dating profiles or ID.
How to
How to do an AI photoshoot from a selfie
Take a clean selfie
Face the light (a window works), no filters, neutral expression, hair off the face. Upload 2–3 angles if the tool allows.
Choose a tool
ChatGPT and Gemini edit from a photo directly; Midjourney uses it as a character/omni reference; Kling and OpenArt also accept references.
Pick a look and paste it
Each prompt starts with the face lock. Change colours, location or season to make it yours.
Add the negative prompt
It keeps skin real, hands correct and clothing modest.
Shoot a set
Generate 3–4 frames per look, vary the pose ('looking over the shoulder', 'walking'), and pick your favourites.
Guide
A practical guide to AI portrait photoshoots
Your selfie is the casting
The model can only keep what it sees. Shoot by a window, at eye level, with your face filling a third of the frame. Remove glasses if they hide your eyes, skip beauty filters, and if the tool takes several images, add a three-quarter angle and a smiling shot.
Write like a photographer
Every look here names five things: outfit, setting, light, lens and mood. 'Single Rembrandt light from the left on a charcoal background' tells the model far more than 'dramatic'. Lenses matter: 85mm flatters faces; 35mm feels candid; f/1.8 blurs the background.
Pick a look that suits the use
Business and Korean studio looks work for profiles and CVs; editorial and low-key for portfolios; film, Japanese and golden hour for social posts; hanfu for festivals and cultural shoots. For hanfu, name the dynasty's style and keep it respectful rather than mixing pieces at random.
Direct the pose
Add one pose line per frame: 'walking towards camera', 'glancing over the shoulder', 'hands in coat pockets'. Small changes make a set feel like a real shoot instead of the same picture four times.
Keep it honest
Use AI portraits for fun, portfolios and profile pictures, but say they're AI where it matters. Don't create shoots of other people without consent, keep everything fully clothed, and don't use them to deceive on dating apps or official documents.

Yes. ChatGPT, Gemini and Kling all edit photos on free plans with daily limits; paste any prompt here and upload your selfie.
How do I keep my face looking like me?
Use a sharp, front-facing selfie in soft light, keep the face-lock sentence, and generate the whole set in one chat so the tool remembers your features.
Which look is best for LinkedIn?
Use the business headshot prompt (#06 or #14). Keep the background simple and the expression approachable.
Can I use these photos commercially?
Check the terms of the tool you used; most allow personal and commercial use of your own outputs. Never use someone else's face without consent.
Why do hands or teeth look odd?
Ask for 'hands relaxed at the sides' or 'closed-mouth smile', and regenerate. The negative prompt helps too.
Does drawcue keep my selfie?
No. drawcue only provides text prompts; your photo goes straight to the AI tool you choose.
