Tips for better results
Small prompt changes make a big difference.
- For likeness-based headshots, use GPT Image 2 i2i or Flux Kontext and upload 1–4 reference photos of yourself.
- Specify lighting: "soft three-point studio", "Rembrandt lighting", or "soft natural daylight".
- Mention the lens: "85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field" gives that pro photographer look.
- Background matters: "neutral grey", "slightly out-of-focus office", "plain off-white" all read as professional.
- Wardrobe should match your industry — blazer, turtleneck, doctor coat, button-down, etc.
- Avoid heavy retouching prompts. "Photorealistic, sharp focus" is enough; over-prompting causes uncanny valley.
Frequently asked questions
How does this compare to a $300 professional headshot session?›
AI headshots from Raphael AI cost a few cents each and take seconds. They look polished and professional for LinkedIn, About pages and corporate directories. For high-stakes uses (book covers, magazine spreads), a real photographer is still the gold standard — but for everyday business use, AI is fast, cheap and good enough.
Can I use my own photo as a reference?›
Yes. Use GPT Image 2 i2i, Flux Kontext, or Nano Banana Pro and upload 1–4 reference photos. The model preserves your facial structure while restyling the lighting, wardrobe and background.
Is there a watermark or branding on the output?›
No. All headshots are watermark-free and come with a commercial use license.
Which model is best for headshots?›
For likeness from a reference photo: Nano Banana Pro or GPT Image 2 i2i. For stylized professional photos from text only: GPT Image 2 (text-to-image) or Flux 2 Pro.
Can I use AI headshots on LinkedIn?›
Yes. LinkedIn does not prohibit AI-generated headshots. We recommend disclosing in your bio if the photo is AI-generated, both for transparency and to avoid surprise during in-person meetings.
How many headshots can I generate per credit?›
1 credit = 1 image, on any model. The Standard $9.9 pack gives you 50 headshots — typically enough to find 3–5 keepers.
