Why this prompt works
Headshots live or die on lighting and framing, so the prompt fixes a portrait crop and studio lighting rather than leaving them to chance.
A neutral background and a lens cue (85mm look) are included because they're what separate a corporate headshot from a generic portrait.
Common artifacts — harsh shadows, distortion, busy backgrounds — are pushed into the exclusions so you don't have to re-roll.
