Individual Headshots
Uploading Photos
Learn the upload requirements and best practices for individual headshot training photos.
Your uploaded photos are the most important input for your final headshots. Use recent, clear images where your face is visible and well lit.
Photo Count
Individual sessions use 8 training photos by default:
- Positions 1-6 should be close-up face photos
- Positions 7-8 should show your face, neck, and chest
Minimum Quality Requirements
Each uploaded photo is checked before it can be used.
| Requirement | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Resolution | The image must be at least 512px on both width and height |
| Face size | Your face must be close enough to fill the frame clearly |
| One person | Only one person should appear in the image |
| Visible face | Your face should not be blocked, hidden, or heavily shadowed |
| No sunglasses | Remove sunglasses and avoid eyewear that hides your eyes |
| Torso visibility | Body-photo slots must show chest and shoulders |
If a photo fails validation, the upload screen shows the reason so you can replace it before submitting the session.
Good Upload Photos
Use photos that are:
- Sharp, not blurry
- Bright, even lighting
- Face looking toward the camera
- Recent appearance, hairstyle, and facial hair
- Different angles and expressions
- Simple background when possible
Photos to Avoid
Avoid photos where:
- The image is too small or low resolution
- You are far away from the camera
- Your face is cropped, covered, or turned away
- Multiple people are visible
- Sunglasses cover the eyes
- Heavy filters change your real appearance
Uploading From Your Phone
The upload page supports phone upload. Use this when your best photos are on your mobile device, or when a live camera capture is required for your session.
