Monochrome Studio Portraits

Black-and-white studio portraits of fictional people, for personas, placeholders and story characters.

$9.99once, yours to keep

Makes monochrome studio portraits of fictional people: black-and-white studio photographs with a soft side light, deep shadow and fine grain. A set of personas can share one sheet with names and roles set in type. Drawn by a picture model with any words set in real type afterwards, so spelling is exact. Needs a FAL_KEY or a Cloudflare Workers AI key; about $0.01 to $0.02 a picture. Use when someone wants a portrait of a fictional person, persona photos, character portraits or black-and-white studio headshots that are not of a real person.

Make two portraits for our user personas

It said back

I made both portraits and checked them: the faces are clean, nothing is cut off, and the sheet text is spelled correctly.

  • Persona 1: a retired teacher, 68, with silver hair, reading glasses, a warm smile and a cardigan.
  • Persona 2: a student nurse, 22, with hair tied back and scrubs. She has tired eyes but a cheerful smile, which is how I read "tired but cheerful".
