Something shifted in the headshot market this year, and it’s not subtle. After two years of AI headshot generators flooding LinkedIn with plasticky, symmetrical portraits that look like they were rendered in a video game engine, the backlash has arrived.…
A client books a boudoir session. She’s nervous, unsure what to wear, half-convinced she’ll hate the images. Three hours later she’s standing in front of a screen at her reveal appointment, looking at a photo of herself she’s never seen…
The game ends at 9:47 PM. By 10:15, the team’s social media manager needs images posted. By midnight, the wire editor wants selects filed. Nobody cares that you shot 4,000 frames — they care that three of them are in…
