Six new people joined a 22-person law firm, and a photographer wants about $350 each and three weeks. In this free lesson you follow Dana Okafor (made up) as she attaches one casual photo as a reference in [Higgsfield](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/tool/higgsfield), writes what must stay (the face) and what changes (blazer, backdrop, light), and gets three matching headshots for 6 [credits](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/glossary/ai-credits) with Nano Banana Pro. The person in the photo is AI-generated; with a real colleague you need their written OK and their approval of every image.

## The business case: matching headshots all year

Team pages, LinkedIn and conference programs need headshots that match, and people join all year. A photographer per hire is expensive and slow, so team pages end up a mix of selfies. These are example numbers.

With the person's own photo as a reference, Higgsfield's image models keep the face and change everything else. One [prompt](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/glossary/prompt) per size.

## What happened in our run, and the consent rule

All three headshots (LinkedIn on grey, website in an office, a square on cream) kept her face, skin tone, curls and smile, at 2 credits each. The lesson still compares each with the original, closely: skin tone, hairline, teeth and jewelry are where models drift.

A face belongs to the person. Use only their own photo, with their written OK, and let them approve the finals. Never make one of someone who has not agreed, or of a public figure.

## Step by step: Professional Headshots for the Whole Team, No Photo Shoot, using Higgsfield

All 14 steps of the interactive module, in order. In the module you watch each one, then do it yourself in a practice copy that checks your work.

### 1. Six new faces, no matching photos

1. **Price the photographer.** Six people joined Calder & Wynn this quarter. A photographer is about **$350 a person**, **$2,100** for all six, and 3 weeks to get everyone in on one day. Click the **photographer** row.
   Six new people. A photographer for all of them is about two thousand dollars, and three weeks.
2. **Keep the face, change the rest.** With the person's own photo as a **reference**, Higgsfield's image models keep the face and change the clothes, background and light. Click the **Higgsfield** card.
   Attach the person's own photo, and the model keeps the face while changing everything else.

### 2. Start with consent and one photo

3. **Their photo, their yes.** Only with a colleague's **own photo** and their **written OK**, and they approve the finals. Here the new associate is an **AI-generated person**, so no real face is used. Download the sample, then click the **photo**.
   Only with their own photo, and their written OK. Here the person is AI generated.

### 3. Make the headshot in Higgsfield

4. **Open the image model picker.** Click **Image** in the top bar. The prompt bar sits at the bottom. Click the **model** name in it.
5. **Pick Nano Banana Pro.** **Nano Banana Pro** kept the face best in our runs when a photo was attached, for **2 credits** an image at 2K. Click **Nano Banana Pro**.
   Nano Banana Pro kept the face best, for two credits an image.
6. **Upload the photo as a reference.** Click **+** (References) at the left of the prompt bar, then **Upload media**, and choose the photo.
7. **Read the upload agreement.** The first time you upload, Higgsfield shows a **Media upload agreement**: you confirm you own the photo and that **everyone in it has consented**. Only click **I agree, continue** when that is true. Then click the uploaded photo to attach it.
   The first upload asks you to confirm you own the photo, and everyone in it agreed. Only agree if that's true.
8. **Say what stays and what changes.** The photo now sits above the prompt. Type the prompt: first what must stay ("keep her face, skin tone, curly hair and smile exactly the same"), then what changes: navy blazer, grey studio backdrop, soft light, chest-up.
   Say what stays: her face, skin tone, hair and smile. And what changes: the blazer, the backdrop, the light.
   ```text
   Professional corporate headshot of the same woman from the reference photo, keep her face, skin tone, curly hair and smile exactly the same. Navy blazer over a white blouse, plain mid-grey studio backdrop, soft even studio lighting, chest-up framing, centered, sharp focus, LinkedIn profile photo style.
   ```
9. **Set 4:5 and 2K, then generate.** LinkedIn and most team pages crop to a portrait. Set the ratio to **4:5** and the quality to **2K**, check the **2** on **Generate**, and click it.
   Four by five, two K. Check the credits, and click Generate.

### 4. Check it with the person

10. **Compare with the original.** Put the result next to the selfie. Same face, same skin tone, same curls, same smile, and a navy blazer she never wore. Look closely at the **hairline, teeth and skin tone**: that is where models drift. Click the **result**.
    Compare it with the original. Same face. Check the hairline, teeth and skin tone. That's where models drift.
11. **Make the other two sizes and download.** Replace the prompt with the **website** one (4:5), then the **square** one (1:1), same reference: three matching headshots for **6 credits**. Hover a result and click the **download** icon.
    Run the website and square prompts with the same photo. Three headshots, six credits.
12. **Send them to the person to approve.** All three keep her face. The last check is not yours: send the set to the person and use only the ones they approve. Click the **square** headshot.
    The last check isn't yours. Send the set to the person, and use only what they approve.

    Next, a text idea becomes a vertical hiring ad.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can Higgsfield make professional headshots from a selfie?**

Yes. In Image, pick Nano Banana Pro, attach the photo as an image reference and describe the outfit, backdrop and light while asking it to keep the face. Ours cost 2 credits per headshot at 2K (October 2026).

**Is it OK to make AI headshots of employees?**

Only with their own photo, their written consent and their approval of the final images. Do not use AI headshots where an unaltered photo is required, such as ID badges.

**How do I keep the face the same in Higgsfield?**

Attach the photo as a reference rather than describing the person, and start the prompt with what must stay exactly the same: face, skin tone, hair and smile.
