Ai Headshots vs. Professional Corporate Headshots NYC : Why Real Still Wins

The New Hype: AI Headshots

You’ve probably seen them. Those perfectly lit, eerily smooth headshots flooding LinkedIn. AI-generated portraits promise a quick fix, uploading a few selfies, and out pops a “professional” headshot, no studio required. Sounds like magic, right? Almost..

But behind the filter and digital polish lies a big problem: they don’t look like you!

In a world where trust, professionalism, and personal branding are more important than ever, AI can’t deliver what matters most: authenticity.

The Flaws Behind the filter

AI headshots are built on algorithms, not on understanding who you are. They often:

• Blur skin into plastic perfection

• Add light that doesn’t match your actual environment

• Morph facial features subtly ( or not so subtly)

• Create “posed” looks that don’t reflect your personality

Worse, they can make you look like someone else entirely. And then that image meets a client or hiring manager in real life? Instant disconnect.

Why Corporate Headshots Still Reign

Now compare that to a session at Michael Benabib’s Studio, where your headshot isn’t just a photo. It’s an experience.

You’re coached, lit like a CEO, and styled to bring out the best features, not reinvent your face. From a variety of wardrobe changes to subtle coaching in expression and posture, the final image reflects that real confidence in you.

And that’s what clients, colleagues, and recruiters want to see.

Real is Relatable. Real is Credible.

A great corporate headshot isn’t about looking perfect; it’s about looking powerful and present. The way your eyes connect. The way your posture says, “I’m here to lead.”

This isn’t just a picture, it’s your reputation in pixels.

The Studio Experience: It’s More Than a Click

At Michael Benabib’s NYC Studio, you don’t just show up and smile, you:

• Choose wardrobe options with expert advice

• Are lit and framed by a professional with decades of experience

• Receive coaching to elevate your presence in front of the camera

• Walk away with the images that truly represent you

AI can’t replicate that.

Final Thoughts: Invest in You

Quick and cheap might get you attention. But in the business world, the right headshot can open doors.

So ask yourself: Do you want to look like a filter, or like a leader?

Corporate Headshot Brief for Business Photography

Production Principles:

The image library will be comprised of several different categories, which are outlined below to establish a visual style that feels cohesive, here are outlined several production principles that transcend any category and should be taken into consideration when photographing your team.

Production Principles: Styling

Clothing and other styling elements should help tell our story, rather than distract the viewer. I recommend that employees wear their normal office attire, ensuring that shoulders are covered (sleeveless or short sleeves are fine). Clothing shouldn display any commercial brand logos.

Production Principles: Color & Light

Color palette conveys expertise, reliability and stability. Images should use neutral and earthy tones that are not overly saturated. In small details, Hunter Green and accent colors, such as Stone, can be incorporated where possible. Lighting should be natural and slightly warm, without any hard shadows or harsh lighting. Images should feel editorial and inviting.

The Company Headshots should be Personable and Authentic, Driven and Empowered Friendly and Open

Business portraits are your opportunity to showcase team members. They should be cropped at the upper torso/ just below the chest with plenty of background visible. The background should be slightly blurred to ensure the focus is on the subject.

Subjects should feel at ease and natural and the photography should feel spontaneous. We want to capture real people with a positive, confident and professional attitude. Avoid overly posed or stiff images.

Collaborative Office Photos show Teamwork Open and engaged Friendly and approachable

This category captures daily moments of collaboration between team members. The main focus of these images should be the people and the interactions between them.Small groups of 2–4 people should be shown with a variety of crops, including full body images. In order to emphasise the subjects, ensure that the background is either blurred or neutral. Subjects should feel open and engaged. We want to capture moments of collaboration that should feel spontaneous but professional.

On-Location Strolling Photography

The Art of the Unposed: Why On-Location Strolling Photography Rocks

In a world obsessed with perfectly staged shots and curated corporate imagery, there's something incredibly refreshing about an unposed photograph. You know the kind – the one where someone's caught mid-thought, deep in conversation, or genuinely laughing. These are the moments that truly tell a story, and for me, they often happen when I’m simply strolling through the office with my camera.

It might sound a little unconventional, but some of the best photos of the day often come from these impromptu sessions. Instead of setting up lights or asking people to "pose," I’ll just walk around, observing, and waiting for those organic interactions to unfold. And more often than not, someone off-guard will provide a gem.

Why Off-Guard is On-Point

Think about it: when someone knows a camera is pointed at them, they tend to stiffen up, offer a forced smile, or try to look "professional." While there's a time and place for those images, they rarely convey the genuine spirit of your team or your company culture.

On-location strolling photography allows you to capture:

• Authenticity: People are in their natural element, focused on their work or interacting with colleagues. This translates into genuine expressions and body language that can't be faked.

• Real Company Culture: Do people collaborate freely? Is there laughter in the hallways? Are teams engaged in spirited discussions? These are the nuances that truly show what your company is like, far better than any mission statement.

• Unforgettable Moments: Sometimes, the most mundane moments turn into photographic gold. A colleague leaning over to explain something, a quick high-five after a success, or someone lost in concentration – these are the human elements that resonate.

• A Sense of Energy: Strolling photography often results in dynamic shots. People are moving, interacting, and engaged, creating a more lively and compelling image.
