AI Art Prompt: Modern Celebrity Studio Portrait (Black Turtleneck & Jacket)

Achieving a professional "celebrity-style" portrait often requires expensive studio gear and lighting. However, with the right AI prompt, you can simulate this high-end aesthetic perfectly.

In today's post, I am sharing a specialized AI Image Prompt for creating a super-realistic male studio portrait. This prompt focuses on a sleek, modern look featuring a black turtleneck and striped jacket, set against a clean gray background. It is specifically designed to maintain your exact facial likeness while upgrading your style to 16K resolution quality.

Prompt for AI Image Generation

STUDIO_PORTRAIT.TXT

Using the reference image I uploaded, accurately maintain my facial features, hairstyle, body proportions, and overall likeness (the pseudo-user). Create a super-realistic, medium-zoom portrait in a sleek, modern style. The subject (the pseudo-user), a man, is seated and looking directly at the camera with a sharp, confident expression. He is wearing an open black jacket (with subtle stripes) over a fitted black turtleneck and black trousers. His posture is relaxed, with a slight forward lean. The background is a simple, smooth, medium-toned gray studio backdrop. The lighting is soft and focused, highlighting facial features and the texture of the clothing. The aesthetic is simple, focused, and elegant. This is a super-realistic 16K portrait, a professional-looking portrait of a celebrity, with absolute and non-negotiable focus on the subject's gray striped jacket over a black turtleneck, his seated posture, and the clean gray studio backdrop

Why This Prompt Works?

This prompt is successful because it combines strict identity controls with specific fashion details:

• Identity Preservation: The prompt opens with a direct command to "accurately maintain facial features... and overall likeness." This prevents the AI from generating a generic model face.
• Sleek Fashion: The combination of a "fitted black turtleneck" and an "open black jacket with subtle stripes" creates a timeless, intellectual, and stylish look often seen in tech CEO or artist portraits.
• Studio Lighting: Requesting "soft and focused" lighting against a "medium-toned gray studio backdrop" ensures the subject pops without harsh shadows or distracting backgrounds.
• Body Language: The "seated posture" with a "slight forward lean" conveys confidence and engagement with the viewer.

Tips for Best Results

To get the best possible image using this prompt:

1. Use a Reference Image: You must upload a photo of yourself. In Midjourney, use the --cref parameter followed by your image URL.
2. High Quality Setting: Since the prompt asks for "16K portrait," ensure you are running your AI generator at its highest quality setting (e.g., using `--q 2` or upscalers).
3. Aspect Ratio: For a professional headshot/portrait feel, use a vertical aspect ratio like --ar 4:5 or --ar 2:3.
