Studio Backgrounds & Sets
5 promptsClean Grey Seamless
1/30Turn [YOUR SELFIE] into a professional model portfolio shot against a smooth mid-grey seamless studio backdrop. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or body proportions. Soft even studio light, relaxed confident pose, arms loose, chin slightly forward. Natural retouching only, realistic skin texture and pores. Neutral colour grade, sharp focus on the eyes. Frame from the waist up. 4:5 portrait.
A neutral grey-backdrop portfolio frame that agencies use as a clean reference shot.
Pro tip: Grey reads true to skin tone on every screen — start your comp card with this frame so bookers see the real you.
Pure White Studio
2/30Restyle [YOUR SELFIE] as a high-key studio model shot on a pure white infinity background. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Bright, shadowless wraparound lighting, upright commercial posture, subtle smile. Crisp, clean, catalogue-ready look with realistic skin and hair detail. Balanced exposure with no blown highlights on the face. Head-and-shoulders crop. 4:5 portrait.
A bright catalogue-style frame ideal for commercial and e-commerce model books.
Pro tip: White backgrounds expose stray flyaway hairs — ask for 'neat hairline, no distracting strands' to keep it clean.
Dark Moody Backdrop
3/30Transform [YOUR SELFIE] into a dramatic editorial portrait on a deep charcoal-black backdrop. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Single directional light carving the cheekbones, moody low-key mood, strong jaw angle, intense gaze. Rich shadow detail, realistic skin, fine-art colour grade. Slightly turned three-quarter pose. 4:5 portrait.
A low-key editorial frame that adds range and drama to a portfolio.
Pro tip: Dark backdrops need a rim light on the shoulder or your outline vanishes — request 'subtle edge light separating me from the background'.
Colour Gel Backdrop
4/30Convert [YOUR SELFIE] into a bold fashion frame lit against a saturated magenta-to-blue gel backdrop. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Confident editorial pose, controlled expression, coloured rim light on one cheek while keeping facial skin tone natural. Modern beauty-campaign energy, crisp detail. Waist-up composition. 4:5 portrait.
A vibrant gel-lit frame that shows a model can carry colourful campaign concepts.
Pro tip: Ask that the coloured light stays off the face itself — gels look great on the backdrop but wreck accurate skin tone up close.
Textured Concrete Wall
5/30Turn [YOUR SELFIE] into an urban editorial portfolio shot against a raw grey concrete wall. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Natural window-style side light, relaxed leaning pose, understated cool expression. Muted matte colour grade, realistic skin and fabric texture, shallow depth of field. Three-quarter body crop. 3:4 portrait.
A gritty, texture-rich frame that suits streetwear and lifestyle casting.
Pro tip: Add 'shallow depth of field so the wall softens behind me' so the texture supports the shot instead of competing with your face.

Lighting Setups
5 promptsBeauty Butterfly Light
6/30Restyle [YOUR SELFIE] as a close beauty portrait using classic butterfly lighting from a large softbox above the camera. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Small symmetrical shadow under the nose, glowing catchlights in both eyes, flawless yet realistic skin with visible pores. Straight-on head-and-shoulders pose, soft neutral backdrop. 1:1 square.
A symmetrical beauty-lit frame that flatters the face for a comp-card headshot.
Pro tip: Butterfly light demands a chin-down, forehead-slightly-forward angle — mention it so the jawline stays defined.
Rembrandt Editorial
7/30Transform [YOUR SELFIE] into a fine-art editorial portrait using Rembrandt lighting — one key light at 45 degrees creating a small triangle of light on the shadow-side cheek. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Contemplative expression, three-quarter head turn, deep painterly shadows, muted backdrop. Realistic skin texture. 4:5 portrait.
A painterly directional-light frame that adds classic depth to a book.
Pro tip: The signature triangle of light lands under the eye on the dark side — call it out by name so the model gets it right.
Golden Hour Glow
8/30Convert [YOUR SELFIE] into a warm outdoor portfolio shot bathed in golden-hour backlight. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Sun flaring behind the head, soft haze, hair glowing at the edges, gentle fill on the face, natural relaxed smile. Warm romantic colour grade, blurred sunlit background. Waist-up. 4:5 portrait.
A sun-drenched lifestyle frame that shows warmth and approachability.
Pro tip: Backlight can grey out the face — ask for 'a soft reflector fill so my face stays bright against the sun flare'.
Hard Flash Fashion
9/30Restyle [YOUR SELFIE] as an editorial fashion frame with direct on-camera hard flash and crisp shadows. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Bold graphic look, confident straight-on stance, slightly cool colour grade, punchy contrast, tight background shadow. Modern magazine energy, realistic skin. Head-to-thigh crop. 3:4 portrait.
A high-contrast direct-flash frame with contemporary editorial attitude.
Pro tip: Hard flash flattens depth on purpose — keep the pose graphic and squared to the camera for the intended look.
Soft Window Natural Light
10/30Turn [YOUR SELFIE] into a natural-light portrait beside a large window with soft directional daylight. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Gentle gradient across the face, calm authentic expression, minimal makeup look, airy neutral room behind. True-to-life colour, realistic skin, soft falloff into shadow. Head-and-shoulders. 4:5 portrait.
A soft daylight frame that feels honest and unretouched for natural-division books.
Pro tip: Turn your face slightly toward the window so the light wraps — profiles too far from the glass fall into muddy shadow.
Composition & Comp-Card Framing
5 promptsStraight-On Headshot
11/30Turn [YOUR SELFIE] into a clean modelling headshot, camera straight-on at eye level, natural expression with a hint of a smile. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Minimal makeup, hair off the face, neutral studio backdrop, even soft light, sharp focus on the eyes. This is the primary comp-card headshot. Tight head-and-shoulders crop. 1:1 square.
The core comp-card headshot every agency asks for first.
Pro tip: Keep hair off the face here — bookers want to see your full bone structure with nothing hidden.
Full-Length Standing
12/30Convert [YOUR SELFIE] into a full-length model portfolio shot showing the whole body head to toe. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Simple fitted outfit, relaxed upright stance, weight on one leg, arms natural. Plain seamless backdrop, even studio light, true proportions. Full body in frame with headroom. 3:4 portrait.
A head-to-toe frame that shows true height, shape and posture for a comp card.
Pro tip: Wear or request a fitted, simple outfit — baggy clothes hide the body lines agencies need to assess.
Profile Silhouette
13/30Restyle [YOUR SELFIE] into a clean side-profile portrait for the comp card. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Head turned to a full 90-degree profile, calm neutral expression, hair tucked back to reveal the jaw and neck line. Soft even light, plain backdrop, sharp focus. Head-and-shoulders. 1:1 square.
A profile frame that documents jaw, nose and neckline for casting reference.
Pro tip: A true profile means one eye visible only — say 'full 90-degree side profile' so it doesn't come back as a three-quarter turn.
Three-Quarter Turn
14/30Transform [YOUR SELFIE] into a three-quarter body portfolio frame, body angled 45 degrees to camera with the face turned back toward the lens. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Elongated confident pose, one shoulder forward, soft studio light, neutral backdrop. Realistic proportions, sharp focus on the eyes. Knees-up crop. 3:4 portrait.
A flattering angled frame that adds shape and movement to the book.
Pro tip: Angling the body slims and lengthens the frame — this is the workhorse pose between the flat headshot and full length.
Seated Editorial
15/30Convert [YOUR SELFIE] into a seated editorial portrait, model perched on a simple stool or block. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Elegant posture, elbows resting on knees, engaged gaze, elongated neck. Soft directional light, muted backdrop, realistic skin and fabric. Composed and poised mood. Waist-up with hands in frame. 4:5 portrait.
A seated composition that introduces hands and posture variety to the portfolio.
Pro tip: Seated shots reveal hand awareness — request 'relaxed, deliberate hands, no tension' since bookers notice fists and stiff fingers.
Editorial & Commercial Styles
5 promptsHigh-Fashion Editorial
16/30Restyle [YOUR SELFIE] as a high-fashion editorial frame with avant-garde styling and a strong, still pose. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Sculptural minimal wardrobe, sharp cheekbone light, cool desaturated grade, confident distant expression, clean studio set. Magazine-cover intensity, realistic skin. Waist-up. 4:5 portrait.
A couture-leaning frame that proves editorial range for high-fashion casting.
Pro tip: Editorial faces stay still and unsmiling — ask for a 'strong, quiet expression, lips relaxed' rather than a friendly grin.
Commercial Lifestyle Smile
17/30Convert [YOUR SELFIE] into a bright commercial lifestyle portrait with a warm genuine laughing smile. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Casual approachable wardrobe, sunlit airy background, natural relaxed body language, friendly eye contact. Clean commercial colour grade, realistic skin. Waist-up. 4:5 portrait.
An approachable, smiling frame that books commercial and catalogue work.
Pro tip: Commercial clients buy warmth — a real laugh with crinkled eyes outperforms a posed smile every time.
Beauty Close-Up
18/30Transform [YOUR SELFIE] into a tight beauty close-up focused on the face and skin. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Dewy natural makeup, glowing realistic skin with visible texture, soft symmetrical beauty light, catchlights in the eyes, plain soft backdrop. Sharp on the iris. Face-filling crop. 1:1 square.
A tight beauty frame that showcases skin, eyes and bone structure for beauty campaigns.
Pro tip: Insist on 'realistic skin texture and pores, no plastic smoothing' — over-retouched beauty shots read as fake to casting directors.
Fitness & Athletic
19/30Restyle [YOUR SELFIE] as an athletic fitness portfolio frame in clean activewear. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Strong grounded stance, defined natural physique without exaggeration, energetic focused expression, gym or neutral studio setting, crisp directional light. Realistic skin and muscle detail. Head-to-thigh crop. 3:4 portrait.
An athletic frame that positions the model for sportswear and fitness clients.
Pro tip: Ask for a natural physique, not an inflated one — fitness clients cast believable bodies, and exaggeration gets flagged at the shoot.
Black-and-White Fine Art
20/30Convert [YOUR SELFIE] into a timeless black-and-white fine-art portrait. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Rich tonal range, soft directional light sculpting the face, contemplative expression, plain dark backdrop, film-grain texture. Elegant classic mood, sharp on the eyes. Head-and-shoulders. 4:5 portrait.
A monochrome fine-art frame that adds a classic, moody anchor to the book.
Pro tip: Black-and-white lives or dies on contrast — request 'full tonal range with true blacks and clean whites' so it doesn't turn flat grey.
Wardrobe & Beauty Details
5 promptsLittle Black Dress
21/30Turn [YOUR SELFIE] into an elegant portfolio frame in a simple fitted little black dress. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Refined posture, soft glamour makeup, hair styled cleanly, soft studio light, neutral backdrop. Sophisticated timeless mood, realistic skin and fabric drape. Three-quarter length. 3:4 portrait.
A polished LBD frame that shows evening and commercial versatility.
Pro tip: Fitted, unpatterned clothing keeps the focus on you — busy prints date the shot and distract from the face.
Denim & White Tee
22/30Restyle [YOUR SELFIE] into a fresh commercial frame in classic blue jeans and a plain white t-shirt. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Relaxed natural pose, minimal makeup, bright even light, clean neutral background, easy genuine expression. Approachable everyday-brand look, realistic skin and denim texture. Waist-up. 4:5 portrait.
A wardrobe-neutral commercial frame that reads as relatable and castable.
Pro tip: The white-tee-and-jeans look is a casting staple because it strips away styling — keep it plain and let your face carry it.
Tailored Suit
23/30Convert [YOUR SELFIE] into a sharp portfolio frame in a well-tailored modern suit. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Confident upright stance, hands relaxed, groomed styling, soft studio light, muted backdrop. Polished commercial-and-corporate look, realistic skin and fabric. Waist-up. 4:5 portrait.
A tailored-suit frame that opens up corporate and premium-brand casting.
Pro tip: Request a suit that actually fits the shoulders — a well-cut jacket signals professionalism far more than an expensive-looking baggy one.
Natural Beauty, No Makeup
24/30Transform [YOUR SELFIE] into a bare-face natural-beauty portrait with clean, unretouched skin. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone, freckles or proportions. Soft daylight, calm neutral expression, hair pulled simply back, plain backdrop, true-to-life colour, realistic pores and texture. Honest and fresh mood. Head-and-shoulders. 1:1 square.
A bare-face frame agencies request to see the model's real, unstyled skin.
Pro tip: Keep freckles, moles and natural texture — agencies specifically want the no-makeup shot to be honest, not idealised.
Statement Accessory
25/30Restyle [YOUR SELFIE] into a beauty frame featuring one bold accessory — a striking earring or sculptural sunglasses. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Clean styling around the accessory, soft beauty light, engaged expression, minimal backdrop. Editorial accessory-campaign mood, sharp realistic detail. Close head-and-shoulders. 1:1 square.
An accessory-led frame that shows the model can front jewellery and eyewear campaigns.
Pro tip: Let one accessory lead and strip everything else back — competing pieces split the viewer's attention and cheapen the shot.

Formats, Fixes & Use-Cases
5 promptsFour-Look Comp Card
26/30Turn [YOUR SELFIE] into a four-image model comp-card layout on one sheet: a straight-on headshot, a full-length, a smiling commercial frame and an editorial frame. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions across all four. Consistent lighting and grade, clean white margins, space for name and stats. Realistic skin throughout. 3:4 portrait.
A ready-to-send comp card assembling four core looks on a single sheet.
Pro tip: Keep the grade identical across all four frames — mismatched colour makes a comp card look thrown together.
Digitals / Polaroids
27/30Convert [YOUR SELFIE] into a set of agency 'digitals' — raw, unretouched test shots in a plain fitted top against a white wall. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Flat even light, no makeup, hair natural, honest expression, front and profile angles. True colour, real skin texture, no styling. Head-and-shoulders. 4:5 portrait.
Unretouched digitals that agencies require to see the model exactly as they are.
Pro tip: Digitals must look plain and honest — resist any glamour retouch, because agencies compare digitals against you in person.
Instagram Portfolio Grid
28/30Restyle [YOUR SELFIE] into a polished modelling profile picture for an Instagram portfolio. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Bright confident headshot, clean backdrop, soft flattering light, subtle smile, contemporary colour grade that will sit well in a feed. Sharp on the eyes. Centred head-and-shoulders. 1:1 square.
A feed-ready square headshot to anchor a modelling social profile.
Pro tip: Centre your face for the square crop so Instagram's circular avatar mask doesn't clip your chin or forehead.
Fix Uneven Studio Light
29/30Take [YOUR SELFIE] and rebuild it as a balanced studio portrait, correcting harsh shadows and uneven exposure while keeping it photorealistic. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Soft even key light, gentle fill, neutral backdrop, natural colour, realistic skin texture retained. Recover shadow detail without flattening the face. Head-and-shoulders. 4:5 portrait.
A rescue prompt that turns a badly lit selfie into a usable portfolio frame.
Pro tip: Add 'keep realistic skin texture' when fixing exposure, or the correction pass tends to smooth your face into plastic.
Casting Slate Frame
30/30Convert [YOUR SELFIE] into a neutral casting-slate frame: relaxed front-facing headshot with a calm, ready expression against a plain grey wall. Keep my exact face, likeness and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, skin tone or proportions. Even flat light, no styling tricks, honest natural look, leaving headroom above for a name caption. Sharp and true-to-life. Head-and-shoulders. 1:1 square.
A plain slate-style frame that mimics the first shot at an in-person casting.
Pro tip: Leave clear headroom for a name-and-stats caption — casting slates are labelled, so don't crop tight to the hairline.
