LinkedIn headshot prompts

A good profile photo matters on LinkedIn, Naukri and company websites, but a studio shoot is not always practical. These prompts turn a clear selfie into a clean professional headshot, with versions written for each kind of role: corporate executive, tech entrepreneur, healthcare professional, academic or consultant, and sales or client-facing work, each for men and for women. There are also city-skyline business portraits for a more editorial look.

For a believable result, start from a well-lit photo with a neutral expression, shoulders square to the camera and no sunglasses. Ask for only small changes on follow-up ("slightly softer smile", "lighter grey background") so the face stays the same.
