Send a Selfie. Get a Headshot.
You need a professional headshot. The application is due tomorrow. Your LinkedIn photo is five years old. The conference starts next week.
A photographer’s next opening is three weeks out.
So you take a selfie. Flat light. Weird angle. Kitchen in the background.
And you already know what it says.
There’s a better solution.
Listen: Your Phone Photo Can Become Professional
Our Selfie to Headshot service turns your phone photo into a polished, professional portrait.
We cut you out cleanly. Replace the background. Refine skin, eyes, and tone with the same retouching discipline we use for studio clients.
This isn’t a filter.
It’s professional Photoshop work—done with taste. You’ll look like you had a real session, not like you found a “headshot app.”

What Is the Selfie to Headshot Service?
The Selfie to Headshot service is professional photo editing that transforms an amateur phone photo into a headshot you can confidently use on LinkedIn, a company website, a speaker bio, or a job application.
We handle background replacement, retouching, color correction, and delivery in multiple formats. Want to see the philosophy behind the polish? Read about Collaborative Retouching.
Why This Service Exists
Because life doesn’t schedule itself around your headshot.
Sometimes you’re out of town. Sometimes the deadline appears overnight. Sometimes you just need something professional now.
This service bridges the gap: professional results without scheduling, travel, or waiting weeks.
It’s also a smart “test drive.” See what professional retouching can do—then decide if you want the full studio session later.
How the Selfie to Headshot Process Works
Step 1: Take Your Best Phone Photo
Face a window in daylight. Hold the camera at eye level. Wear solid colors. Keep the background simple. After you order, we’ll send detailed instructions so you don’t have to guess.
Step 2: Upload and Order
Purchase through our secure portal, upload your image, and tell us what you want: background color, retouching level, and intended use.
Step 3: Professional Transformation
We extract you with clean edge work, replace the background, refine skin and tone, and balance color and contrast. The goal is simple: make it look like a studio headshot.

We send a proof. One round of revisions is included. Approve the final and download files in multiple formats ready to use immediately.

What if I do not like the result?
One round of revisions is included. Tell us what to adjust and we’ll fix it.
Can you change my expression or make me look thinner?
We can make subtle refinements and improve what the light is already doing. We don’t fundamentally change who you are. You’ll look like you—just professionally presented.
