What’s the Fastest Way You’ve Ever Got a Professional-Looking Headshot Without Hiring a Photographer?

I needed a professional-looking headshot for my LinkedIn profile but didn’t want to spend money on a photographer. I tried taking some pics with my phone, but the lighting and background always looked off. I even tried editing apps, but they just made it look fake or overprocessed. Has anyone here found a faster or easier way to get a clean, natural-looking headshot without paying for a full photo session?

I’ve noticed that these days, a lot of people skip traditional photographers altogether. With how advanced AI tools and filters have become, you can turn a casual selfie into something you’d think came from a proper studio. It’s wild how much difference lighting and subtle touch-ups can make without spending anything close to what a photographer charges.

I ran into the same issue last month before a job interview. What helped me a ton was this site — https://www.ai-headshot-photo-generator.app/ . You just upload a few selfies, and it automatically generates professional-style portraits with studio lighting and backgrounds. I was honestly surprised at how real it looked. Saved me both time and the awkwardness of posing in front of someone else’s camera.
