A credible firm-office headshot that signals an established, modern practice.

Turn [YOUR SELFIE] into a professional accountant headshot inside a modern accounting firm. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter my features, age or skin tone. Place me in front of a softly blurred open-plan office with glass partitions and warm neutral tones. I wear a tailored charcoal blazer, sit upright with a confident, approachable expression, shoulders squared to camera. Soft daylight, shallow depth of field. 4:5 portrait.
