LinkedIn headshots, no photographer
A real frame from this shoot.
Recruiters look at the photo before the headline. A LinkedIn headshot needs soft three-point light, a clean gray backdrop, shoulders angled toward the camera and an expression that says approachable and competent at the same time — none of which a bathroom mirror provides.
You want a photo that looks booked and paid for, made from the selfies already on your phone. With the LinkedIn Headshot preset selected, each run turns your selfies into LinkedIn headshots lit and framed the way a studio would light and frame them. Run Face Retouch on the keeper, swap the backdrop if the brand changes, and upscale LinkedIn headshots when they go to print — all from the same contact sheet.
What this session solves
- Your current profile photo is a cropped wedding guest shot or a selfie in a car
- A photographer costs more than you want to spend on a job hunt
- You need a photo this week, not after the studio's next opening
- You want a headshot that still looks like you when they meet you

Should I smile in a LinkedIn headshot?
A gentle smile with eye contact tests best for most fields; the preset defaults to it. For law, finance or executive roles, run Expression Changer on the result and choose Confident for a calmer read.
What ratio does LinkedIn crop to?
LinkedIn shows a circle cut from a square, so 4:5 or 1:1 with your head centered is safest. Set the aspect ratio before you shoot and keep the shoulders in frame.
Will LinkedIn headshots look like a real photograph?
They are rendered as photographs — natural skin texture, real catchlights, a portrait lens — and you can compare every frame with your selfie using the toggle in the Studio.
