One portrait does not have to serve every story

A founder bio, press interview and conference page can benefit from different crops. Decide whether the reader needs a simple introduction or a sense of your working personality. A tighter portrait prioritizes recognition; a wider frame gives posture and environment more room.

Authority without the performance

Choose an expression and outfit that fit how you actually meet people. An exaggerated power pose or invented luxury office can distract from the person and create a misleading impression. An understated scene often gives your work more room to speak.

  • Keep hands visible in a supporting reference if the final pose includes them.
  • Check that glasses, hair and facial features remain familiar.
  • Choose background tones that work with your company’s page.
  • Prepare a square crop and a wider version only when you need both.

A practical press-ready review

Review the image at full size, then at the size an editor will use. Look for skin detail, clean glasses, plausible shoulders and hands, and enough clear space around the subject. Tell an editor when the portrait is AI-created.

The studio provides one included revision for grouped corrections. It does not create evidence that you visited a location or endorse claims about a company. Pair the portrait with an accurate biography and current professional information.

A direction for your own photo.

All examples are AI-created illustrations, not customer results. Your photos guide your appearance.

Questions before you begin

Can I use a casual source photo?

Yes, if the face is sharp and well lit. The selected direction and outfit settings guide the professional styling.

Can an AI portrait be used in a press kit?

You can offer it as an AI-created portrait and let the publication decide whether it meets its image policy.
