Corporate Team Headshots

The corporate headshot register

A corporate headshot has one job that a casual photo cannot do: it has to sit in a grid of colleagues on a company about-page or team directory and not look out of place. That consistency is the whole point. When ten people are photographed on different days with different phones against different walls, the team page reads as a collage. When they share one register — same framing, same neutral ground, same light direction — it reads as a company.

This pack renders that shared register from one photo of you. The output is a photograph, not an illustration: half-length framing, a composed expression, business or smart-business attire, and a clean studio or office ground that drops cleanly behind a colleague's matching shot. Three looks cover the standard corporate grounds — a seamless mid-grey studio backdrop, a window-lit open-plan office, and a bright near-white high-key ground — so you can match whatever register the rest of your team already shoots in.

The light does the work that separates a corporate headshot from a snapshot. A single broad soft key from one side models the face and gives it dimension; the shadow on the far cheek is controlled, never harsh; a small specular keeps the skin alive and a catchlight sits in each eye. The background is graded a step off the subject's edge so the figure separates by tone. These are the staging choices a corporate photographer makes on a shoot day — built into the prompt instead of booked into a calendar.

How to photograph yourself for a corporate headshot

Better source photos make better headshots. The pack works with imperfect inputs — the free preview tells you in 15 seconds — but a few things help your shot match the rest of the team.

1. Even, indirect lightStand near a window, facing it or at a 45-degree angle. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash — both flatten the face and fight the pack's studio light.
2. Front or three-quarter angle at eye levelNo selfie-stick uplook, no overhead. Camera at eye level. The pack frames you half-length, the standard corporate crop.
3. Plain wall behind youA white or neutral wall. The AI replaces the backdrop with the pack's corporate ground; a busy background makes it harder to isolate you cleanly.
4. Match the team's attire registerStarting from a collared shirt, a blazer, or a neutral knit — close to what the rest of your team wears — helps the result read as consistent rather than transplanted.
5. Agree on one look across the teamIf colleagues are generating too, pick the same look (studio grey, open-plan office, or high-key) so every headshot drops into the grid uniformly.

Frequently asked questions

Does this generate a photo of my whole team in one image?

No — and that is worth being clear about. The pack renders one person per photo, from one uploaded face. What it gives a team is consistency: each colleague generates their own headshot in the same look — same framing, same backdrop, same light — so the individual shots line up cleanly in a team grid. It is a way to make a set of separate headshots match, not a group-photo generator.

What's the difference between the free preview and the paid pack?

The preview is one headshot from your uploaded photo, shown live in about 15 seconds so you can judge the result before paying. The paid pack is nine headshots across three corporate looks — studio grey, open-plan office, high-key — three frames each. €9.99, ready in about 45 seconds.

Will the output look photorealistic or obviously AI-generated?

Photorealistic. The output is a photograph of you in business attire with studio lighting — not illustrated, not cartoonish. The free preview tells you in 15 seconds whether the likeness lands on your face before you pay.

Can the whole team use it so our headshots match?

Yes — that is the intended use. Each person uploads their own photo and picks the same look from the three. Because the framing, backdrop, and lighting are fixed per look, the separate headshots read as one consistent set on a team or about page.

Can I use these on a company website, directory, or business card?

Yes. The output is portrait-ratio and full-resolution with no watermark — the shape that looks right on an about-page, a directory listing, an email signature, or a printed business card. The commercial-use terms allow professional use without restriction.

What happens to the photo I upload?

Your photo is processed on European servers. We use it to generate your preview and, if you buy, your pack of nine. We do not share it with third parties.
