Issue No. 07 — The portrait, reconsidered

A portrait sitting, without the sitting

For a century, a good portrait meant a studio, a photographer and an afternoon. The Sitting needs ten selfies and twenty minutes — and returns portraits with the quiet confidence of a magazine profile.

Each portrait is made by a private model trained only on you, then retouched with the restraint of a good darkroom — natural skin, honest light, nothing you would not recognize.

Features

Everything a photo studio does, minus the awkward small talk

From lighting to wardrobe, every detail is tuned to look like you on your best day — not like an AI filter.

  1. I.

    True-to-you likeness

    A private model learns your features from 10 selfies, so results look like you — not a stranger with your haircut.

  2. II.

    Studio lighting, anywhere

    Soft key light, clean rim light and natural skin texture. No harsh beauty filters, no plastic skin.

  3. III.

    Wardrobe on demand

    Blazers, knitwear, smart casual or scrubs. Pick outfits that fit your industry in one click.

  4. IV.

    40+ backdrops

    Office, studio gray, city loft, outdoor bokeh, or a solid color that matches your brand.

  5. V.

    Private by default

    Your photos train a single-use model that is deleted after 7 days. We never sell or reuse your face.

  6. VI.

    Free re-dos

    Not quite right? Regenerate any style for free until you have a favorite.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Contact support
What kind of selfies should I upload?

Ten to twenty recent photos of just you: a mix of close-ups and upper-body shots, different backgrounds and lighting, no sunglasses or heavy filters. Phone photos are perfect.

How long does it take?

Pro orders are usually ready in about 20 minutes. Starter orders are delivered within 2 hours. You'll get an email when your headshots are ready.

What happens to my photos?

Your selfies are used only to train your private model. Both the photos and the model are permanently deleted after 7 days, or immediately if you ask.

Can I use the headshots commercially?

Yes. You own your headshots and can use them anywhere: LinkedIn, your website, press kits, ads and print.

What if I don't like the results?

Regenerate any style for free. If you still don't love a single photo, we'll refund you within 14 days.

Do you offer team plans?

Yes. Team plans start at 5 people, include brand-matched backdrops and an admin dashboard, and can be paid by invoice.
