The Scene Library

Education, not automation. Learn to direct the AI you already pay for — reference-character prompting, commercial studio lighting, and a curated scene library for portraits that read on LinkedIn, X, the press kit, and the back of a book jacket.

Lens, lighting, and composition from commercial studio photography — Rembrandt light, 85mm framing, safe-zone crops for every platform. Understand why a headshot works, then repeat it on demand.

Intake form → your reference photos → we run the prompts, generate, and curate the portraits for you. Ready files in 48–72 hours.
Complete the brief form — tell us your use cases, platform targets, and wardrobe preferences.
Share your reference photos following our guide — we review them before we start making the portraits.
We write the prompts, generate the visuals, curate the best frames, and deliver a selection — typically within 48–72 hours.
Two revision rounds included — we iterate until the output is usable for your stated platforms.
I used to hire a photographer twice a year. Now I run a Manifesto session before every press cycle. The portraits actually look like me.
The prompts are the product. Every generation comes with the recipe — you can tweak, re-run, evolve. It's the only AI tool that respects the craft.
Used Editorial Noir for the back of my book jacket. My publisher couldn't tell it wasn't shot in a studio. That's the whole game.
You use the AI you already pay for — ChatGPT Plus, Gemini Advanced, Grok Premium, or an Astria account. The Founder Edition includes a model selection guide covering the cost and capability differences, including which tools have free tiers you can start with today. We never generate on your behalf, so nothing you make is locked to us.
No. Manifesto Headshot is a publishing and education product, not a face-processing service. You copy prompts and generate inside your own AI subscription — your reference photos stay on your device. There is no face upload and no biometric data on our side.
Yes. Enter your email in the Interactive Playbook section and we'll send a free sample pack: 5 first-party prompt templates (ChatGPT + Gemini) and studio look-reference stills. Education only — we do not generate or store your face. No credit card required.
Free lists give you generic prompts for one model, with no system behind them. The Founder Edition gives you 260 tested scenes — each a directed master you copy into ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, or FLUX — plus reference-character prompting and the studio craft behind each frame. Ingredient remix and per-model dialects are still in the studio, not a live swap. You leave with a transferable skill, not a list.
Likeness depends on your reference set — which is why we teach reference-character prompting in detail. With strong references and the right workflow, results are professionally usable. The edition shows you exactly what makes a good reference and how to hold a face consistent across generations.
Because it never stops growing. Manifesto Headshot is a living magazine — new scenes ship into the same edition for life rather than being held back for a paid Vol. 02. Buy the Founder Edition once and every future headshot scene is yours, free.
Manifesto Headshot is the first title in a series. Manifesto Pets, Manifesto Automotive, and Manifesto Atlas (with festive editions — Islamic Festive, Deepavali, and more) follow. Founder Edition buyers get 50% off every future magazine. A community (Phase 2) and a native app (Phase 3, with Founder beta access) are on the roadmap.

Founders, executives, authors, speakers, and creative professionals who need polished headshots for LinkedIn, press kits, book jackets, and team pages — and want to understand the craft rather than hand it off blindly to a service.
