A Shipping Executive Headshot on the Liverpool Waterfront

The The Liver Birds register

Liverpool's waterfront is crowned by three great Edwardian buildings on the pier head, the tallest a grey granite block with two clock towers, each crowned by a copper bird gone green, above the wide brown river Mersey and its ferries. This pack puts the shipping executive on the pier head. Grey granite, brown river and grey sky are held to values, and there is one hue, verdigris.

He wears it as a green silk tie with a dark grey overcoat and a charcoal suit, and it is echoed once, in the copper birds. He stands before the rusticated granite base with the blocks soft behind him, rests a hand on the black iron river railing with a ferry small on the brown water, and stands on the broad paving with the building and its two towers rising behind. The light is soft estuary light.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Liverpool waterfront. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken there.

How to photograph yourself for a shipping executive headshot

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
4. A collared shirtA shirt with a collar in your source photo gives the pack a clean line for the tie.
5. A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real photo taken at the Liver Building?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Liverpool waterfront. It is not a picture taken there.

Are the clock faces readable?

No. They are kept soft and unreadable, so the green birds and the granite stay the picture.

Will it look like a real photograph?

Yes. Every photo is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in the look of the setting, not a painting or a cartoon.

Will the photos look like me?

Every photo looks like you, well photographed. If one is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.

Do I have to write a prompt?

No. There is nothing to write: you pick a pack, and it is ready in seconds.

How many photos of myself do I add?

Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.

What happens to the photos I add?

They are used only to create your model, on our own servers in the European Union. They are not shared and not sold.
