How Headshots.so changed Anders’ LinkedIn profile
Anders needed a LinkedIn photo that matched his role — and he did not want to book a photographer. He uploaded a few of his own photos to Headshots.so, got a full set of professional headshots in about 15 minutes, and walked away more confident on LinkedIn, his CV, and his company intranet.
A profile photo is often the first impression people get of you online. Whether it is LinkedIn, a resume, or a company site, the image matters more than most people admit. This is Anders’ story — and why he chose AI headshots.
What is a professional headshot?
A headshot is a close, professional portrait used to present you in a work context: LinkedIn, CVs and applications, company websites and intranet, email signatures, and presentations. With Headshots.so you upload your own photos and receive a series of studio-like portraits without blocking a half-day for a shoot.
Anders’ problem: an outdated, unprofessional profile photo
Anders is 32 and works as a project manager. He had wanted to update LinkedIn and his CV for a long time, but never got around to it. His old photo no longer felt professional, and he knew a better image could help when he applied for new roles.
He considered booking a photographer — then stalled. It felt expensive, time-consuming, and honestly a bit draining: small talk, posing, travel. So he kept putting it off.
The fix: Headshots.so in 15 minutes
One evening Anders found Headshots.so. He uploaded a handful of his own photos. About 15 minutes later he had multiple headshots ready for LinkedIn, his CV, and internal use at work.
Three things stood out for him:
- Speed — headshots ready in about 15 minutes
- Choice — many variations instead of one forced studio frame
- Comfort — everything from home, no photographer appointment
The result: more confidence online
Anders picked one image for LinkedIn, another for his CV, and a third for the company intranet. Colleagues noticed immediately how much more professional his profile looked.
“The best part was how I felt afterward. I hadn’t just gotten a new profile photo — I felt more confident online. I finally trusted that my photo matched the professionalism I wanted to signal,” Anders wrote afterward.

Headshots.so is not “anti-photographer.” It is a modern option for people who want something faster, more affordable, and more flexible. Customers use their images for LinkedIn, CVs and applications, presentations, social profiles, and simply feeling more secure about how they show up. Teams that want a consistent look can start on Headshots for teams.
