Are the professional business headshots made with AI worth it?

If you are an individual seeking new job opportunities or even a business owner looking for new clients, you know that one of the places to look for contacts is social media like LinkedIn or your webpage.And you probably want to present yourself in the best way and you know how first impressions are important. So you want to have your best-looking professional photo. And if you are on a budget, you probably do not have money for professional shooting. There are quite a few AI apps that can help you with that. One of them is InstaHeadshots, an AI-powered tool that transforms your selfies into professional-looking headshots.

Pros:

Easy peasy: The process is really easy. You upload at least 10 photos choose at least 2 settings and boom.

Speed: Headshots are generated quickly, and within 2 hours, you have them ready for download.
Not so pricy: Compared to traditional headshot photography, it’s a much cheaper option.

Cons:

Unnatural looking: We have read that some users have reported issues with results that were quite supernatural. Especially for people with unique facial features.
Quality Variation: The quality of the final result can vary depending on the quality of your selfie.

Comparison:

Recently, we tried out some different AI headshot apps. In comparison, InstaHeadshots charges 39 dollars for 40 headshots, while HeadshotPro is 29 dollars for 40 headshots. Well, InstaHeadshots gets the work done in an hour, while HeadshotPro gets it done in three hours. If you are on a time limit, then you know which way to go. Neither of the apps offers a free trial, which we find to be a downsize. It would be cool if you could have a glimpse of what they have to offer. At least one low-quality headshot that you can not use, but still, you could have a feel of what it would look like.

Overall, InstaHeadshots as we see it is cool option to try out. 39 dollars is not that pricey and it could be fun to see what you would look like with professional shooting done. Still, professional photographer can edit you as you wish, and apps are limited in that sense. But we are quite sure that this will be also possible in future. AI is making huge changes almost daily. So we are excited to see what is ahead.
