Common mistakes

Using Dean for a working faculty page. The lobby-and-leader recipe is administrative; it looks like you left the classroom. The Academic trap is lobby three-point on a postdoc CV. Also: a soft phone selfie with harsh overhead light will fight three point lighting — start with a clean face-forward frame.

Shot notes

Suit shoulder line clean, eyes to camera. Three-point light needs a tidy source photo — no backpack straps. Aim for shoulder-up, eyes to camera, hair off the face. Dean steers toward leader expression with three point lighting. If the first result is close, refine wardrobe or background with a short edit prompt rather than regenerating from a worse selfie.
