you can also generate side picture (I would recommend using a picture with the person looking at the same side as the picture OP used "head pointing left")

i would also recommend using 2 different picture and generate 2 side picture. They'll have small difference but this way you can flip one of the 2 to get the Right and Left side for FaceGen

here is the prompt (same as OP just slightly edited)


A professional passport-style photo of the person from the original image. Face perfectly centered, strictly side view. Completely neutral facial expression, no smile, relaxed lips. Symmetrical facial features. High-resolution, even studio lighting, Non-negotiable 100% fidelity to the original facial bone structure, exact eye shape/distance/color, nose, lips, jawline, skin texture, pores, skin tone and all unique features with zero deviations, morphing or artistic interpretation. Perfect alignment, neutral pleasant expression, professional soft even studio lighting, ultra sharp 8k details, clean neutral background. Indistinguishable from a real high-end photograph of this exact person.

Thanks, this is great! And for anyone who doesn't want to give Elon Musk any more money, this seems to work fine in ChatGPT also.

Oh and if anyone is interested here is a prompt for creating a profile pic, left side of the head that you generated. Note that this is for a man, which is usually what I create, so adjust as needed for females and also to do the right side (thank you @ZxNuKeNxZ, this is based on your prompt!):

True orthographic left profile, exactly 90° head rotation, no three-quarter angle, no head tilt, gaze directed straight to the left. No perspective distortion. Camera positioned perpendicular to the subject's sagittal plane. Professional studio profile portrait of the exact same man from the reference image. Head held level, natural posture, completely neutral facial expression, relaxed closed lips, no smile. Only the left side of the face is visible in full profile; the right side is completely hidden by the angle. Hair neatly groomed with no strands obscuring the face. Left ear fully visible. Preserve the exact facial identity and craniofacial anatomy of the reference image: identical forehead shape, brow, eye shape, eyelashes, iris color, nose structure and projection, lips, jawline, chin, ear shape, skin texture, pores, skin tone, and all unique facial details. No beautification, no face reshaping, no stylization, no artistic interpretation, no age change. High-end professional studio portrait, soft even lighting, ultra-sharp 8K detail, realistic skin texture, clean light neutral background. Indistinguishable from a real DSLR studio photograph of this exact person. Infer only the anatomically hidden side of the head while preserving the subject's exact identity and facial structure. Do not alter any visible facial features.
