AI Headshots, Can you tell the difference?

AI Headshots are all the rage over social media right now!

There are many apps out there, where for less than $20, you can upload 10 pictures and in a few hours have 30 pictures that are ready for you to download. A photoshoot you did not have to put make-up on for. There are many careers an up-to-date headshot is very important. Real Estate Agent is one of those. From Social Media, to business cards, to flyers, a great headshot is a must. Real estate agents do not sell houses, they actually sell themselves.

So the question is do I pay just $20 for my next headshot or pay a professional photographer $$$? Well you help me decide! So, of these 4 pictures, which 2 were AI generated?

The Answer is… Both A and D are AI generated pictures. Not bad right?? Do you want to see the bad ones? Well first you have to see the “Real” me, the images that the AI used to generate these images. Thank you to Stephanie Selby Headshots, for a wonderful experiance that included professional assistance with hair/make-up/clothing design.

Ready for the not so me pictures?? Extra teeth, extra arms, different skin tone.

It is weird looking at these pictures, sort of a surreal experience. Now to the pictures I actually liked that were AI generated.

Yet, there are many AI generated pictures here I could use for my headshot. The only reason these AI pictures turned out well, was because I invested in professional photography first. I have seen a lot of other AI generated images that looked nothing like the actual person, because their baseline images were cell phone selfies. In my option professional photography is worth the money! Invest in yourself and business and have a professional photographer take your pictures. And use the AI for the fun laughs.
