Tips for the Perfect LinkedIn Headshot

1. Lighting Is Everything

Stand near a window with natural light hitting your face evenly. Avoid harsh overhead lighting or backlight. HeadshotGen's AI will enhance the lighting, but starting with a well-lit selfie gives the best results.

2. Face the Camera Directly

A straight-on or slight angle works best for LinkedIn. Avoid heavy tilts or side profiles. Keep your shoulders square and chin level.

3. Dress the Part

Wear what you'd wear to work. HeadshotGen can adjust attire with the AI, but starting with professional clothing gives the most natural look.

4. Keep the Background Simple

Don't worry too much — HeadshotGen replaces the background automatically. But a plain wall or uncluttered space helps the AI focus on you.

5. Smile Naturally

A genuine, relaxed smile outperforms a stiff pose every time. Think of something that makes you happy right before you snap the photo.
