Professional Photography Disrupted: AI Headshots Enter the Business Mainstream

As we continue to watch artificial intelligence expand into our every day lives, we have witnessed a new mainstream option for business owners who want to freshen up their professional headshot. Platforms like portraitpal.ai created a new outlet of chatbots and technology that helps us realize the realism that AI is capable of. 

The same technology that develops used to bring you AI partnership applications, is now being harnessed for professional photography options in the mainstream business industry. This technology, known as AI headshots has allowed people from around the world to experience AI technology like never before. 

This new tech allows you to update your latest headshot with a new portrait that can depict the appropriate emotion for your niche industry. This means that any business owner can take their average selfie and transform it into a professional photograph masterpiece. 

Your headshot online matters more than it ever mattered before. Most people are getting to know each other through the internet. If you’re looking for a business professional then you find their Facebook page or profile, you are looking to work with a business, then you go online to find their information. This is just how the world works these days.

This is why your professional photograph is more important than ever before. You can now use these AI headshots on your Zoom meetings, business cards, LinkedIn profile, and website to match the best first impression you wish to portray to the world. Job seekers and business owners have started to use this technology to enhance their natural features by adjusting the lighting, matching the colors across corporate photographs, and more. 

How does AI headshot technology work? 

This technology uses machine learning that has been trained using high-quality photographs to learn more about human facial structures, posture options, lighting quality, and imagery based on various personality styles, and niche industries. This helps the program learn more about releasing realistic photographs to those who use this technology. 

When you use these AI headshot tools, no matter which option you choose to go with, they have a low price rate in comparison to professional photographers, and you upload your photographs into the system. Once you have them uploaded, you can choose the customization options and filter choices to help train the program to adjust your photograph in a more professional manner that maintains a realistic appearance.

The old style AI would have created a robotic looking selfie image of you, that others would absolutely notice as being AI created. This is what’s so amazing about our current technology, it can easily  transform your regular selfie that has a lower quality image into something high-quality and professional that you can feel proud using within your business profiles and marketing materials. 

If you don’t like the original outcome of the AI headshot, you can easily select more options to have it refine your photograph in a whole new way. Just keep making edits until you find an option that makes sense for your preferences. Some AI headshot generators have built in presets that fit specific industries and such so you can easily just click a button and have the photos editing into something that aligns with your business niche. 

Some of you may be wondering about remaining authentic while using this technology to update your latest business profile photographs. The reality is that this is just a tool like any other photo editing tool, or something a professional photographer would use to edit your photographs. 

Obviously, some people may use AI headshots to edit their photographs way more than they should. This is not the fault of the program itself, rather the end user who is manipulating their photograph to be less authentic. This option is easily done on any other photo editing program, such as Photoshop.

AI headshot generators simply help you edit a photograph into something that portrays the digital first impression you’re looking to put out there into the world. How authentic it appears is up to the person who uses the program and what edits you complete within this process to your photographs. 

Just be sure that you are uploading a high-quality photograph to begin with and are using the best lighted photograph. Some AI portrait tools will let you change the outfit and background of your photos, but not all of them will do this. Be sure to review the AI headshot generators before using one so that you know it has the customization options you wish to do within your business photographs. 

We have seen many people use this technology to maintain proper brand imagery across the board with their larger businesses that have multiple employees, and others have used AI headshots to freshen up their job seeker profiles. This is a great way to be a business that stands out from the crowd and provides their prospects with a warm and friendly appearance that encourages people to hire you.
