10 LinkedIn headshot prompts (Higgsfield + Claude)

Hey, it's Cindy 🌱 These are the exact 10 prompts from the reel: a full LinkedIn-ready photoshoot of yourself, generated from a folder of your own pictures. Claude runs Higgsfield, and its Soul 2.0 model does the shoot.

the outcome

What you're making 💼

Ten different professional looks: clean studio headshots, magazine-cover energy, and personal-brand shots, all genuinely you. Soul 2.0 locks your real face from your own photos, so nothing reads as a filter or a stranger. Here is the actual set these prompts produce:

AI LinkedIn headshot: white tailored pantsuit, seated on a wooden chair against a dark grey studio backdrop AI LinkedIn headshot: black suit with arms crossed on a grey seamless backdrop AI magazine cover portrait: oversized black blazer, seated, golden studio light

Every image in this guide is me, generated from a folder of my own photos. No camera, no studio, no photographer.


step 1

Get your free credits 🎁

  1. 🎁 Create your Higgsfield account through this link, that is what unlocks the 100 free credits
  2. 🧩 In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors
  3. ➕ Add a custom connector and paste this URL: https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp, then Connect and approve the sign-in with that same account
This works on free Claude too. You get one custom connector, and you may need to toggle it on per chat (the + next to the message box, then Connectors).

step 2

Point Claude at your photos 💻

So Claude can see your pictures, use Claude Code and start a new chat in the folder where your photos live (put 10 to 20 clear photos of yourself in one folder, say a folder called me). A few clean, front-on photos help the most.


step 3

Make a character of yourself 🧬

Ask Claude to build your character with Higgsfield's Soul 2.0, pointed at that folder:

🧬 create your character
Using the Higgsfield MCP, create a Soul 2.0 character of me from the photos in this folder [point to your folder]. Keep it photoreal and true to my face.

Once it's ready, run any prompt below and add "using my character". Ask for 4 variations at a time and keep the ones you love.
