Real photographs. Not AI headshots.

AI headshot tools generate a face from your selfies in a few minutes. The result comes close, but it is not you—the jaw shifts, the hands come out wrong, the expression is one you have never worn. Recruiters and clients notice.

Every image we make is a real photograph. You sit for a professional headshot in the Guardian Building, you watch the frames on a large monitor as we shoot, and a real photographer retouches each file by hand. What goes on your LinkedIn is your face, on your best day.

Located in the Guardian Building

Suite 255, in the Arcade

Detroit Photography is in Suite 255 of the Guardian Building, an Art Deco tower completed in 1929 and designed by Wirt C. Rowland. See the Guardian Building in the architecture portfolio.
