Professional Headshots for Students

A polished headshot for LinkedIn, graduate school applications and internship searches — without the $200 studio session. Starting at just $9.90.

No subscription. No .edu required. Upload selfies, get headshots in minutes.

Why Every Student Needs a Professional Headshot

The job market is competitive. Your online presence starts working for you — or against you — before you ever send an application.

Studio sessions cost $150 or more

Professional photographers charge $150 to $400 per session. TailorPic gives you the same polished result for $9.90 — less than the cost of a campus coffee run.

First impressions start online

Recruiters spend an average of 7 seconds scanning a LinkedIn profile. A professional headshot makes you look prepared, credible and ready to contribute from day one.

LinkedIn profiles with photos get 21x more views

A clear, professional photo is the single biggest factor in profile visibility. Profiles without one are routinely skipped by recruiters and hiring managers.

Where Students Use Professional Headshots

One set of headshots, ready for every opportunity that comes your way.

Internship and job applications

Stand out before you even submit your resume. A polished headshot signals professionalism and attention to detail — exactly what hiring managers look for.

LinkedIn profile optimization

Your LinkedIn photo is your digital handshake. Upgrade from a cropped selfie to a studio-quality headshot that gets you noticed by recruiters in your target industry.

Graduate school applications

Many graduate programs ask for a professional photo. A polished headshot helps your application look complete, intentional and competitive.

Campus organizations and leadership

Student government, clubs, honor societies and Greek life often feature member photos. A consistent, professional look reflects well on the entire group.

Quick Tips for Better Results

A few small choices make a big difference in your headshots.

Wear solid colors

Business casual in solid colors works for most fields. Avoid busy patterns, logos and bright neons.

Use natural light

Face a window so your face is evenly lit without harsh shadows. Avoid overhead fluorescent lights.

Relax your expression

A natural, relaxed smile reads as approachable and confident. You do not need to look overly formal.

Keep the background simple

A plain wall or uncluttered space helps the AI produce cleaner results. Our AI replaces backgrounds, but starting simple helps.
