Bring a useful frame
Choose one clear photo where the face is visible and in focus. Even lighting and a natural expression give the edit more identity detail to preserve.

Section 01
A sitting in three moves.
Good portrait direction is specific without being theatrical. The workflow keeps the decisions small and the visual language coherent.
Mark the brief
Set presence, backdrop, wardrobe, and crop. These are production notes, not novelty filters, so every combination still reads as one studio session.
Inspect the proof
Use the comparison line to check facial structure and small features. Retry if needed, then download the final PNG for your own review.
Section 02
What the camera brief holds constant.
The defaults follow a classic restrained portrait setup, while the visible controls tune tone and framing without breaking the assignment.

Section 05
Before the sitting.
Practical notes for choosing a source and judging the finished frame.
What kind of source photo works best?
Use a sharp photo with one clearly visible face, natural proportions, and no heavy filter. A front-facing or gently turned angle usually gives the model the most useful identity evidence.
Will the result look exactly like me?
The brief strongly asks for identity preservation, but generative edits can still drift. Compare the proof against your source, especially around the eyes, jaw, teeth, hairline, and any distinguishing marks.
Why are there only a few creative controls?
They are intentionally narrow. A coherent photographer brief produces a more believable family of headshots than a menu of unrelated looks. Every option stays within the same restrained studio setup.
When will AI Pass ask me to sign in?
Only when you press Make my headshot and the protected image edit needs account access. You can load the page, upload, and set the brief before that point.
What does the browser history keep?
Only the final PNG plus compact metadata such as presence, backdrop, wardrobe, crop, model ID, date, and filename. It does not store your source photo, optional note, generated prompt, or account data.
