Using the provided reference image, transform the casual poolside selfie into a clean professional head-and-shoulders studio portrait. Keep the same person and the same polo shirt, but remove the outdoor resort background, other people, furniture, pool, and all vacation context. Reframe to a centered portrait crop with the subject facing the camera, shoulders visible, and the selfie angle corrected into a formal straight-on composition. Add a smooth dark teal studio backdrop with subtle vignetting and soft, flattering portrait lighting for a polished corporate profile-photo look.
