FAQ

Headshot ideas: questions

Can an AI headshot replace a studio session?

For profile pictures, team pages and email signatures, a good AI headshot from a clear photo is often enough. For large prints or uses where an exact likeness matters, compare the result with a real photo before you use it.

What should I wear in the photo I upload?

It matters less than your face, because the prompt sets the outfit. What matters is a sharp, front-facing photo in even light, with your usual hairstyle and nothing covering your eyes.

Which background is best for a professional headshot?

A plain grey or white backdrop, or a softly blurred office, works for most industries. Creative fields can use a colored wall or an outdoor setting; keep it out of focus so attention stays on your face.
