Common mistakes

Using Researcher for a clinician’s Healthgrades page. Healthcare’s Doctor style is the patient-facing coat look; this one is academic. The Academic trap is lab coat on a humanities faculty page. Also: a soft phone selfie with harsh overhead light will fight soft studio lighting — start with a clean face-forward frame.

Shot notes

Coat collar sitting clean, no lanyard chaos. Serious-focused means a still mouth — do not upload a mid-talk frame. Aim for shoulder-up, eyes to camera, hair off the face. Researcher steers toward serious focused with soft studio. If the first result is close, refine wardrobe or background with a short edit prompt rather than regenerating from a worse selfie.
