How to use

  1. Copy the prompt and paste it into an AI network - DALL-E 3 (ChatGPT), Midjourney, or FLUX.
  2. Fill in the placeholders: specify gender and age, clothing type, skin tone, and hair description in English.
  3. Start the generation. The AI will create a portrait in the style of an official document photo.
  4. Evaluate the result: check that the background is white or light grey, face is front-facing, gaze is direct, and there are no shadows or extraneous elements.
  5. If necessary adjust the parameters - specify the age more precisely or change the clothing description for better compliance with the requirements.

Using the prompt, the AI generates a clear realistic portrait with a neutral facial expression, direct gaze at the camera, and uniform light background - as close as possible to the format of an official document photo.

Tips and variations

  • Precise age: the more accurately you specify the age (e.g., "35-year-old"), the more realistic the result without unnecessary "youthfulness."
  • White vs grey background: Russian documents often require a white background - explicitly specify "pure white background" in the prompt.
  • Negative parameters in Midjourney: add at the end "--no smile, shadows, blur, accessories --ar 3:4 --style raw" for a more strict official look.
  • Clothing: a dark solid shirt or blouse gives the most neutral official result - avoid bright prints in the description.

Alternative AI networks: DALL-E 3 through ChatGPT (precise instruction following), FLUX.2 Pro (realism in skin and details), and Adobe Firefly (soft studio lighting) work well for this task.
