Selfie tips for a warm indoor portrait

For the Library style

If you wear glasses day to day, keep them on in at least one selfie (or switch glasses on in customization) — they suit this look.

  • Window light at home is perfect — sit facing the window, not with it behind you.
  • A relaxed expression matters more than your outfit; take a few and keep the most natural.
  • Remove hats and sunglasses; glasses you wear every day are fine.
  • Use photos from the last few months so the result matches how you look now.

Library Author Portrait FAQ

What makes a good author photo?

A setting that hints at your work, warm light and an engaged expression. A library backdrop is the classic choice for non-fiction, academic and literary authors, and this style recreates it without booking a session.

How do I get the Library style?

Download HeyPhoto from the App Store or use it on the web. Upload 3 selfies, then choose Male › Casual › Library 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.

Is a warm, indoor portrait professional enough?

For coaching, teaching, writing, healthcare, community and many creative roles, a warm indoor portrait builds trust faster than a stark studio shot. For formal corporate profiles, pair it with a studio style in the same order.

Will my library author portrait 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 change my hairstyle or add glasses?

Yes. After uploading you can adjust hairstyle, glasses, age range, eye color and body type — or leave everything on default to keep your look from the selfies.

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.
