Introduction
This post is intentionally optimized for the most common (and most difficult) starting point:
Plain indoor photo + ordinary outfit + ordinary posture + ordinary lighting → a profile photo that looks intentional and high-impact.
The approach is simple:
- Face locked: you still look like you.
- Full restyle: Gemini is asked to redesign everything else (outfit, pose, expression, lighting, background, and grading).
- Profile-first backgrounds: no bokeh, no scenery, no busy rooms—only clean solids, gradients, and subtle shapes so your face reads clearly in a tiny circle crop.
Quick start
- Upload your photo and choose Edit / Transform (not “generate a new person”).
- Paste the Master Wrapper.
- Paste one look prompt (#1–#30) underneath it.
- Rerun the same look prompt 2–5 times to get a strong variation.
- If the face drifts, append the Face Lock Line and rerun.
Master Wrapper (paste before any prompt)
Edit the provided photo into a standout Instagram-ready profile image using my photo as the identity reference. Preserve identity and facial structure exactly (same person), photorealistic.You MUST redesign: wardrobe/styling, pose/posture, expression, lighting, background, and color grading to look intentional and premium.Rules: no bokeh backgrounds; no busy patterns; no readable text. Keep eyes sharp; preserve natural skin texture and pores (no plastic smoothing).Composition: head-and-shoulders, centered, square crop, clean separation from background.Face Lock Line (append when needed)
Face lock: keep my identity exactly. Do not change facial structure, proportions, or defining features. Do not change age. Keep it photorealistic and believable.Optional cleanup line (use only if artifacts appear)
No visible text, no watermark, no logo.Matching rules (so outfits and backgrounds look “designed”)
Use these guidelines when choosing prompts:
- Bold background → simple outfit. If the background is hot pink/cobalt/red, keep the outfit monochrome or solid.
- Dark background → structured silhouette. Charcoal backgrounds pair well with blazers, coats, leather jackets, or turtlenecks.
- Warm backgrounds → warm neutrals. Burgundy/cream/beige look premium together.
- Cool backgrounds → crisp whites and blacks. Cobalt/teal/slate pair well with white shirts, black jackets, or minimal streetwear.
- Accessories are a reset button. If your base photo is too “plain,” add clear-frame glasses, sunglasses, a cap, or a beanie—then match background color accordingly.
How to avoid “everything looks the same”
When rerunning, change only one of these at a time:
- Palette: (hot pink/black) → (cobalt/white) → (emerald/charcoal) → (orange/teal) → (cream/burgundy)
- Light type: clean studio → direct flash → gel split-light → hard key → high-key
- Background type: solid → gradient → subtle shapes → studio sweep
- Accessory: none → clear-frame glasses → sunglasses → cap → beanie

- use bold, clean backgrounds (solid/gradient/subtle shapes),
- keep the face crisp and realistic.
