Studio Pod — automated headshot studio in Houston, Texas
Since 2020

Studio Pod came first.

Before StudioGo existed, we built Studio Pod — an automated headshot studio in Houston. Real lighting, real lenses, a repeatable process.

Since 2019, we've delivered 300,000+ headshots to 41,000+ customers. Consistent angles. Consistent lighting. Consistent results.

That's the studio standard StudioGo runs on. We don't invent your face — we relight your real photo to studio standard. Our competitors aren't photographers. We are.

The Founder

Joseph West

Photographer. Founder. Houston, TX.

I'm a photographer. I've spent years behind the camera shooting professional headshots — real people in real studios, with real lighting and a real eye for what makes a portrait work.

Studio Pod started because I got tired of the friction. Booking a photographer is expensive, slow, and logistically painful — especially for teams. So I built an automated studio in Houston: step in, stand on the mark, walk out with a professional headshot twenty minutes later.

StudioGo is the next step: take everything Studio Pod learned about what makes a great headshot — lighting, composition, skin texture, expression — and bring that studio standard to the photo you already have on your phone. Your real face, relit to studio standard. Not AI-generated — actually you.

Same photography expertise. No photographer. No appointment.

What we believe

Three things that won't change.

Photography first

Most AI headshot tools are built by software teams retrofitting open models. We're the team behind a real studio — 300K+ headshots since 2019. Our competitors aren't photographers. We are.

Your data, your face

It's your real face, and it stays yours. You always control how your photos are used. We never sell your data. You can delete everything at any time.

Accessible craft

A studio headshot used to cost $200 and a half day. We're here to make real studio photography accessible to everyone — $25 per headshot, your real face, in minutes.
