The 90s portrait

A 1990s American high school yearbook portrait. Soft studio lighting against a mottled blue grey backdrop, gentle film grain, slightly faded color palette of 90s consumer film. The subject wears a knitted sweater vest over a collared shirt, hair styled in a period accurate cut, posed at a three quarter angle with a closed mouth smile. Authentic 35mm photo texture with soft focus edges.

Good to know

Does it work with any photo?

A front-facing photo with decent lighting works best. The tool restyles hair, clothes, and the backdrop while keeping your face recognizable.
