Short answer
Choose a sharp portrait in Vega AI’s photo-editing workflow. Describe the background, lighting, and framing, and name the facial details you want to keep. Generate a version, compare it at full size, and choose a crop that works for your profile.
Start with a portrait that already shows you clearly
Choose an image with visible eyes, a sharp face, and enough room around the head and shoulders. A well-lit photo gives you a clearer starting point than a heavily filtered thumbnail.
Think about where the finished image will appear. A company bio, portfolio, and small profile circle may need different framing. Keep some space around the head so you have room to crop.
Choose a headshot direction
Use these original prompt recipes as starting points. Keep the source photo the same while comparing the setting.
A simple studio look
Create a head-and-shoulders business portrait from this photo. Use a soft light-gray studio background and even natural-looking light. Keep my face, hairstyle, and expression recognizable, with natural skin texture.
A relaxed office portrait
Place this portrait against a softly blurred modern office background. Use warm window light and a relaxed professional mood. Keep the face and hairstyle recognizable. Leave space around the head for a profile crop.
A creative portfolio look
Give this portrait a clean editorial look with a muted beige background, soft side lighting, and a simple head-and-shoulders composition. Keep the person recognizable and the skin texture natural.
Compare the details that make it feel like you
Open the result full screen and compare the eyes, smile, hairline, and face shape with the original. Choose the version that feels most natural for your profile.
Look at glasses, earrings, collars, and hair edges too. If one detail changes more than you wanted, narrow the request for the next version rather than adding another unrelated transformation.
Preview the profile crop
A headshot can look good as a rectangle and feel cramped in a circle. Preview the crop where you intend to use it, leaving the face centered and enough room above the hair.
Keep the original and your favorite edit in Vega’s gallery. You can try another background later without searching for the source photo again.

Questions
Can I use a selfie as the source?
Choose a sharp, well-lit selfie with a clearly visible face and enough space for the crop. A heavy filter or a very tight frame leaves less detail to work with.
Can I try several background styles?
Yes. Keep the source photo and change the background request between versions, then compare them in the gallery.
