Your pose is the foundation of a convincing AI-generated headshot—get it right and the rest follows

AI may do the heavy lifting, but your pose determines whether the result feels like you or just a digital approximation

Start by considering the context in which the headshot will be used

For corporate profiles, a slightly frontal pose with a neutral or subtle smile conveys confidence and approachability

If you’re not in advertising or the arts, keep it clean, calm, and classic

A head tilted too high or too low can warp proportions and undermine professionalism

Tilting the head too far up or down can distort facial features and create an unbalanced look

Where you look can make or break the emotional impact of your headshot

Invest in a single, well-executed reference image
