Portraits that fit a menu

A fine dining chef might want a dark, moody portrait. A neighborhood bakery wants light and flour. Describe your place, and the bot builds the surroundings around your face. The jacket, hat and expression are yours to specify, and your features stay as in your photo. Pair the picture with the menu art from the restaurant menu page to give print and web the same mood.

For press and books

A press kit usually asks for a wide and a tight crop. Cookbook jackets need a tall image with calm space for the title. Generate the version with empty space and keep the tight one for social profiles. Compare your face with the original at full size before you send it out, and rerun if skin or hands look too smooth. Save the caption for next season's update.

Tips

Name your uniform: white jacket, black apron, rolled sleeves.
Ask for a blurred kitchen or a blurred dining room, depending on the story.
Leave space on one side so the press kit can add your name.
Check hands and knife handles, which are easy places for small errors.
