Selfie tips for a clean studio headshot
For the Monochrome style
High contrast emphasizes detail. Use sharp, well-lit selfies without heavy filters so your features translate cleanly to black and white.
- Face a window in daylight — even, front-on light gives the AI the clearest view of your features.
- Stand in front of a plain wall; busy backgrounds make the edges of your hair harder to read.
- Take one straight-on photo and two with your head turned slightly to each side.
- Skip beauty filters and heavy edits so your real skin texture carries through.
Black and White Headshot FAQ
Should I choose black and white or color?
Color is safer for LinkedIn and corporate directories. Black and white is more artistic and timeless — ideal for authors, creatives and speakers. You can select both kinds of style in a single HeyPhoto order and decide later.
How do I get the Monochrome style?
Download HeyPhoto from the App Store or use it on the web. Upload 3 selfies, then choose Female › Professional › Monochrome in the style picker. Each style gives you 2 HD photos (on the web it's $1.49 per photo, no subscription), and you can add as many other styles to the same order as you like.
Do my selfies need a plain background?
No, but it helps. HeyPhoto replaces the background entirely; a plain wall just makes it easier for the AI to read the outline of your hair and shoulders, which gives cleaner edges in your black and white headshot.
Will my black and white headshot still look like me?
That's the point of HeyPhoto. Your face shape, features and skin tone come from your selfies — only the outfit, background, lighting and pose change. If a result doesn't look like you, report it and you can get a free regeneration.
Can I use this black and white headshot on LinkedIn?
Yes — a clean studio headshot is the most common LinkedIn format. You download HD images that crop neatly into LinkedIn's round frame, and they're yours to use on any profile, CV or website.
What happens to my selfies?
They're sent over an encrypted connection and used only to generate your photos. Uploaded selfies are deleted from our processing servers after your order (usually within 24 hours, always within 30 days), and they're never used to train AI models. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
