About Us

We built headshot.ltd because professional headshots shouldn't cost a week's salary.

For most working professionals, getting a good headshot is one of those things that sits on the to-do list for years. You know your LinkedIn photo isn't great. You know the one on your company bio is from a conference five years ago. You've been meaning to book a photographer. The earliest available date is six weeks out. The quote comes back at four hundred dollars. You decide to handle it later.

Later never comes.

We built headshot.ltd because that pattern repeats itself across millions of careers, and the cost of putting it off is real. A good professional photo is one of the few visual signals you have control over in your career, and the gap between "I should do this" and "I did this" is mostly logistics: scheduling, cost, the awkwardness of standing in front of a stranger trying to look natural.

We took those barriers off the table.

What we built

Upload a handful of selfies from your phone. Pick the backgrounds and styles that fit your industry. Get studio-quality headshots back in under ten minutes, ready for LinkedIn, your resume, your company bio, your speaker page, your book jacket, or wherever else you need to be photographed at a professional standard.

Most of our customers spend less than five minutes on the actual process. A small percentage spend longer because they want to iterate, try different looks, or generate variants for different contexts. Both are fine. The point is that you control the time investment, not a photographer's calendar.

How we think about this

A few things we believe about professional photography in 2026.

Time is the real constraint, not money. Most people who could afford a $400 photographer still don't get one, because the bottleneck is the scheduling, the travel, the half-day commitment, the wardrobe planning, the awkward shoot itself. Removing those barriers does more for adoption than discount pricing ever could.

The photo isn't the point. What the photo does is the point. A headshot is a tool that signals competence and presence in the fraction of a second a viewer looks at it. The technical quality matters because it serves that signal. The technical quality alone, without serving the signal, is just expensive decoration.

Most professional contexts need more than one photo. Different platforms favor different framings. LinkedIn wants something different from a speaker bio, which wants something different from a book jacket. We generate dozens of options per session so you have the right photo for the right context, not one photo you try to make work everywhere.

Privacy is non-negotiable. Your face is sensitive data. We delete source selfies within seven days and generated portraits within thirty days unless you keep them yourself. Nothing trains a model in the background. Nothing gets sold downstream. The transaction is: you give us photos, we give you photos, the relationship ends when you walk away.

The result has to look like you. Not an idealized version. Not a version that looks like you ten years ago. Not a version your colleagues won't recognize. The job of a headshot is to represent you accurately, and if it doesn't do that, it isn't doing its job regardless of how technically beautiful it is.

The team

We're a small distributed team of engineers, designers, and operators who've spent years building products for professionals who don't have time to figure out tools. We've worked across SaaS, e-commerce, creative software, and AI infrastructure, and we've all separately experienced the "I need a headshot and don't know what to do" problem before deciding to solve it together.

We're based across multiple countries and operate as a fully remote company. Our customer support is human, our roadmap is informed by what customers actually request, and the team that built the product is the same team responding to your messages.
