Your professional headshot is often your first impression.

On platforms like LinkedIn, it quietly answers a lot of questions for you: Are you credible? Approachable? Mine attached here is showing a subtle hint into my love for books!

There is no excuse for you to still be using that at-home selfie in bad lighting or your cropped family photo 🙄

Lately I have been experimenting with InstaHeadshots to generate AI-powered headshots. And the results are impressive! But there is a big caveat that often gets missed with these tools.

AI is only as good as the data you train it on.

If you want high quality outputs, you need high quality inputs.

When I trained my model, I used a mix of strong professional headshots and everyday photos and selfies. Different lighting, expressions, outfits and contexts.

That made all the difference in how realistic and usable my final images were.

⭐ I want to clarify that I don't think AI-generated images will replace the need for photographers. Not even close. ⭐

I fully plan to keep getting professional headshots done every two to three years. A great photographer brings expertise and quality that AI cannot do on its own.

What AI tools like this do change is SCALE.

AI now gives me access to literally HUNDREDS of additional, on brand images that I can use across platforms, talks, media and more. A quantity that would be unthinkable with a traditional photoshoot, both in terms of time and cost.

If you want to experiment with it yourself, you can try it here: https://lnkd.in/e7CnHNVU

(I personally love this platform because you get a preview of your images first, and only pay once you're happy with the results.)

💙 I partnered with InstaHeadshots because I genuinely love the product, can't wait to start using my new set of headshots and wanted to spread the word so others can try too!

🔷 TL;DR Remember that better data leads to better results. Invest in good photography. Use AI to extend it.
