Responsive Template Guide
Founder Portrait
A striking black-and-white studio portrait of a founder — serious, confident, introspective.
At a glance
Everything you need to know
The source portrait, exactly
The default reproduces the prompt: a man with short, neatly styled dark hair, clean-shaven, looking directly at the viewer with a serious yet contemplative expression — black button-up with the top button undone, body angled left with the head to camera, medium close-up with negative space on the left, soft frontal-left lighting on a seamless white high-key background, full grayscale, photorealistic studio finish.
Horror-Ensemble-style builder
Gender and role toggles, race/ethnicity chips, gender- and age-keyed hair styles with colour only from the hair-colour chips, facial hair for men — or flip to Reference Photo and the founder is you (or them).
Noir-Duet-style Quick Actions
After generating, one-tap Enhance actions refine the result: Punch the Contrast, Warm Charcoal Tone, Cool Silver Tone, Add Film Grain, and Soften the Retouch — each keeping the subject, pose, and framing exactly the same.
Studio controls
Five lightings (soft frontal-left default, Rembrandt, butterfly, split, high-key), five backgrounds (seamless white default through black), four framings, three negative-space options, and five poses.
Tone + palettes
Four tones — full black & white (default), warm charcoal, cool silver, natural colour — × five art styles (Photorealistic Studio default) × four grayscale palettes.
Same as always
Quick-select chips on every field, a standard credit per generation, star-to-save for your gallery.

Walkthrough
How to use Founder Portrait
Generate the default
The source portrait renders exactly — B&W, button-up, negative space left.
Build the character
Toggles and chips, or a reference photo — you become the founder.
Direct the studio
Pose, framing, negative space, lighting, background, tone — all chips.
Generate
Palette + ratio (3:2 default) → Generate.
Enhance (the fun part)
In the preview's Quick actions: contrast, charcoal, silver, grain, or a soft retouch — each keeps the pose and framing.
Star + download
Star the keepers to Your Gallery and download the print.
Tips
Good to know
Bring the founder. Flip to Reference Photo and your likeness (or your CEO’s) becomes the portrait — attire, pose, and expression still come from the chips.
Quick Actions refine, they don’t redo. Each Enhance action (contrast, tones, grain, retouch) sends the current version back with a keep-everything-exactly clause — iterate without losing the look.
Credit cost — one per generation or quick action, same as always.
