You've probably stared at a blank ChatGPT prompt box, wondering how to get specific portrait photography advice that actually works in the real world. Most generic prompts give you vague suggestions like "use good lighting" when what you really need are exact lens choices, camera settings, and step-by-step shooting plans. It's frustrating when you know AI can help, but you just can't seem to ask the right questions to get actionable photography guidance.
This collection of 12 specialized prompts transforms your AI into a professional portrait photography consultant, delivering detailed shooting plans with specific lens recommendations, camera settings, lighting setups, and post-processing workflows. Whether you need a LinkedIn headshot plan, cinematic golden-hour guidance, or studio beauty portrait instructions, these prompts generate photographer-ready directions tailored to your exact scenario. Instead of struggling with generic advice, you'll get precise technical guidance that helps you execute professional portraits with confidence every single time.
