Headshots for Students
Studio Quality on a Ramen Budget
First LinkedIn profile, internship season, the career fair next week — everyone suddenly wants a professional photo, and nobody has $200 for a studio.

The Other Applicants Look Like Interns Already
Here's the uncomfortable part of campus recruiting: hundreds of resumes with the same major, the same coursework, the same two internships. Recruiters look people up. The applicant whose LinkedIn shows a composed, well-lit headshot reads as someone who's done this before. The gray default silhouette reads as someone who hasn't started.
Photographers solve this for people with salaries. For everyone else, there's a selfie, five dollars, and about a minute of effort.
Ready Before the Career Fair
The whole plan fits between two problem sets:

- 3Check the free preview, pay $5, and put it on LinkedIn and Handshake before bed.

Student Headshot FAQ
I don't own a suit. Does that matter?
Not at all — that's the point. The suit and blazer are presets applied to your photo. Upload a selfie in your hoodie and download yourself in business attire. Buy the actual suit after the signing bonus.
Do internship recruiters really look at LinkedIn photos?
Yes. Campus recruiters screen hundreds of near-identical resumes, then look applicants up. A professional photo won't replace your GPA or projects, but it signals you take the search seriously — and most of your classmates won't have one.
Can I use this for grad school or MBA applications?
Yes. Programs that ask for a photo want exactly this: a clear, recent, professional headshot on a neutral background. Use the white or gray background preset with business attire.
Is a dorm-room selfie really good enough as input?
If your face is clearly visible and front-facing, yes. Bad lighting, messy background, and pajama collar all get replaced. The output is what matters, and you check it in the free preview before paying.
What does it actually cost?
The watermarked preview is free. The full-resolution photo is $5 — one coffee, not the $150–$400 a studio charges. There's no subscription and no account.
Setting up your first profile? The LinkedIn headshot guide covers photo requirements, and headshots for job applications covers the CV photo question.
