Bay Area · Real studio headshots, delivered in minutes

AI Headshots in
San Francisco, CA.

Built for Tech + startups · Venture capital · Biotech

SF runs on tech founders, VCs, biotech execs, and the senior PMs that fuel the next-stage growth. The version of you that closes a Series B looks different from the version that pitches one. And your LinkedIn has to do both at once. SF headshots have to read as smart, intentional, current.

Why we work here

The San Francisco aesthetic,
in minutes flat.

SF professionals know the difference between a generated face and a real one — and they want the real one. StudioGo relights your actual photo to the SF aesthetic (clean, modern, no corporate stiffness) without the $800 Marina photographer plus the half-day at a SoMa studio.

The Story

StudioGo is Studio Pod without the pod.

Joseph West and Chris Bailey, founders of Studio Pod

Joseph West & Chris Bailey · Founders

In 2019, working photographers Joseph West and Chris Bailey founded Studio Pod in Houston, Texas: self-serve photography pods with a patented lighting system. Since then we have delivered 300K+ headshots to 41K+ customers across 8 studios, trusted by Dell, PwC, BCG, Accenture, and Merck.

Running real studios taught us the standard: how light lands on a face, what retouching to keep and what to leave, what separates a LinkedIn-ready portrait from a snapshot. StudioGo carries that same standard to people who will never stand in front of a pod, through software and the phone they already have.

Real photos, not AI faces. Built by photographers, not by software guessing at a face.

StudioGo is the software arm of Studio Pod, delivering the studio standard to distributed teams. Made in the USA, Houston, TX.

FAQ

Everything else.

Is this my real photo, or an AI-generated face?+

It is your real photo. StudioGo does not generate or invent a face. A team member takes one real photo on their phone, or uploads an existing real photo, and we apply the studio standard: real studio relighting, a clean background, and hand-grade retouching. Your actual face is preserved. It is still you, suitable for badges, directories, and contracts.

How does it work?+

Take one real photo on a phone or upload a real photo you already have. StudioGo relights it to the studio standard, swaps in a clean background, and applies hand-grade retouching. You get a finished headshot that matches the look of a real Studio Pod sitting.

How long does it take?+

Most headshots are ready in minutes from upload to download. No scheduling, no studio visit, no waiting on a photographer to send files back.

What does it cost?+

$25 per headshot, $19 at volume. One real studio headshot per person. Save as you scale, so you can outfit a whole company at a consistent per-head rate. 250+ headshots? Talk to sales.

Can my whole team use it?+

Yes. StudioGo is built for distributed and remote teams. Everyone shoots their own real photo, an admin reviews and approves results, and you bulk download a consistent, on-brand set across the entire company.

What do I need to take the photo?+

A phone camera and decent light. Face the camera, find even lighting, and shoot. There is no need for a professional camera or studio gear. StudioGo handles the relighting, background, and retouching. You can also upload a real photo you already have.

Can I choose backgrounds and styles?+

Yes. Pick from clean studio backgrounds and finishes, or lock a single look so every person on your team matches. Admins can set a standard so headshots stay consistent across departments and locations.

Is it good enough for LinkedIn and our corporate directory?+

Yes. Because the result is your real face at studio quality, it holds up for LinkedIn, corporate directories, badges, press, and contracts. Studio Pod has delivered 300,000+ real headshots since 2019, and StudioGo applies that same studio standard.

Do I keep the rights?+

Yes. You hold full commercial rights to your headshots. Use them on LinkedIn, company sites, directories, badges, and marketing wherever you need a professional image. Your photos are not used to train any model, and you can delete your data at any time.
