We started with a camera. The AI came second.
AI Headshots is built by the team behind Studio Pod — an automated headshot studio in Houston, Texas. Thousands of real people. Real lights. Real cameras. That's the experience we designed our AI around.
Studio Pod came first.
Before AI Headshots existed, we built Studio Pod — an automated headshot studio in Houston. Professional lighting, real cameras, a repeatable process.
Over the years, we photographed thousands of real professionals in controlled conditions. Consistent angles. Consistent lighting. Consistent results.
That's the craft we designed our AI around. We're photographers who built an AI — not a software team retrofitting open models.
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.
AI Headshots is the next step: take everything Studio Pod learned about what makes a great professional headshot — lighting, composition, pose, skin texture, expression — and put it into an AI that works from the selfies you already have on your phone.
Same photography expertise. No camera required.
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. We designed our AI around 10K+ real studio sessions of hands-on craft, not scraped stock photos.
Your data, your face
You always control how your photos and AI model are used. We never sell your data. You can delete everything at any time.
Accessible craft
A professional headshot used to cost $500 and a half day. We're here to make good photography accessible to everyone — without compromising quality.
