Gel Light AI Headshot
Magenta-teal studio gels
The Gel Light headshot puts you in a simple fitted top that lets the colored lighting lead, glossy modern styling, set against a dark studio backdrop split by strong colored gels — magenta from one side, cyan or violet from the other. We light it with dual colored gel key lights (magenta camera-left, teal camera-right) against a dark background, crisp twin colored catchlights, 5000K base and grade it hypercolor duotone gel palette, magenta-and-teal rim wrap, deep black background, glossy highlights. It reads as magenta-teal studio gels, and it's generated from a single selfie in about 60 seconds.
