What makes a headshot work

A good headshot answers three questions in under a second: who is this, what do they do, and do they look approachable? That means a clear face, a simple background, and clothing that does not distract. The lighting should separate the subject from the background without looking dramatic.

AI is good at the scene and the light. It is not a substitute for a real expression. Upload a selfie where you are relaxed and looking at the camera; the model will preserve that expression far better than a forced smile.

Shooting a selfie that edits well

Face a window, turn off the phone’s beauty filter, and hold the camera at eye level. Keep your shoulders in frame and leave a little space above your head. Avoid hats, sunglasses, and strong backlight. If you wear glasses, check for reflections before uploading.

A plain wall is ideal, but the model can replace the background. What it cannot fix is motion blur or a face that is half in shadow. Take five photos and pick the sharpest one.

Keeping a team consistent

For a team page, use the same style, backdrop, and crop for every person. Generate each portrait separately with the same scene description, then crop them to the same aspect ratio. Consistency matters more than an elaborate set.

If someone is uncomfortable with an AI-generated portrait, use their real photo instead. A team page should represent real people, not an idealised version of them.

How to make a professional headshot

One selfie, one style, one clean portrait. No studio booking.

  1. Upload a selfie

    Face a window, look at the camera, and keep your shoulders in frame.

  2. Choose a backdrop

    Pick a neutral studio for LinkedIn and a warmer editorial look for a personal site.

  3. Check the details

    Zoom in on the eyes, hairline, and collar. Regenerate if the face or clothing drifted.

AI headshot FAQ

Answers about likeness, use cases, and getting a natural result.

Will it look like me?

A sharp, front-facing selfie with even light produces the closest match. The model preserves the main features and proportions, but it is not a guaranteed exact likeness. Review the result before using it on a professional profile.

Can I use the headshot on LinkedIn?

Yes, as long as it accurately represents you and does not mislead. Do not use an AI headshot to impersonate someone else or to imply a role or credential you do not have.

Can I create a consistent team page?

Yes. Use the same style description and crop for each person, and generate each portrait separately. Keep the background and lighting identical across the set.

What should I wear in the source photo?

Wear a simple top that contrasts with the background. The model can change the clothing, but a clean neckline and visible collar help it produce a natural result.

Can I remove glasses or change my hairstyle?

You can ask, but these changes increase the risk of identity drift. If you need a significant change, generate a few versions and keep the one that still looks like you.
