What is a professional headshot?
A headshot is a portrait of a person’s head and shoulders, usually facing the camera, used on LinkedIn, resumes, company websites and speaker bios. A good one has clean light, a simple background, neat clothes and a friendly, confident expression. An AI headshot gets you that look from a photo you already have, without booking a photographer.

Studio or Office: which headshot should I choose?
Studio is the classic corporate headshot: a well-fitted dark blazer over a plain top, neat hair and a confident, friendly look, lit by soft studio light on a plain mid-gray backdrop. Office is a warmer LinkedIn-style photo: smart business clothes in neutral colors and a warm smile, with a softly blurred, bright modern office and window light behind you.
