How to Create Professional AI Headshots (Step-by-Step)

Professional headshots typically cost $150-$500 per session. AI can create them in seconds for free.

What Makes a Great Headshot?

• . Professional lighting — Soft, even illumination
• . Clean background — Solid or slightly blurred
• . Good framing — Head and shoulders, slight crop
• . Natural expression — Friendly and approachable
• . Sharp focus — Eyes in perfect focus

AI handles all of these automatically.
