How to take selfies for AI headshots
Three strong selfies are the foundation of a believable AI headshot pack. Use this checklist for lighting, background, framing, and expression.
How to take selfies for AI headshots
AI headshots work best when your source photos are clear, consistent, and easy to read. You do not need a professional camera. You need three thoughtful selfies.
Start with a plain background
Use a flat, uncluttered background such as a white wall, light painted wall, or neutral door. Busy patterns, mirrors, and strong shadows behind you make likeness harder to preserve.
Use soft, even light
Face a window during the day or stand in open shade outdoors. Avoid overhead downlighting, harsh flash, and strong backlight that hides your facial detail.
Capture three useful angles
Upload one straight-on photo, one slight left turn, and one slight right turn. Keep your shoulders relaxed and your face fully visible.
Keep accessories minimal
Remove sunglasses, hats, and heavy filters. If you wear glasses every day, include at least one photo with them and one without them.
Match the outcome you want
If you need professional headshots, wear a clean shirt or blazer. For dating profile photos, choose casual clothes that feel like your normal style.
Upload and review quickly
Most VibeShot packs finish in a few minutes. Your outputs arrive by email and stay available in your order dashboard. If one result misses the mark, use your retry tokens before contacting support.
