Real photographs. Not AI-generated LinkedIn 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 at the historic Bagley Mansion, 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 profile is your face, on your best day.
What makes a LinkedIn headshot actually work
LinkedIn is a specific use case, not a generic portrait. The crop is tight, the platform compresses aggressively, and your photo sits next to dozens of others on a recruiter's screen. We shoot for that constraint.
Crop for the circle
LinkedIn displays every profile photo inside a circle and crops tight on mobile. We frame your face and shoulders so nothing important sits in the corners, and check the circular crop live, during the session, not after.
A background that gets out of the way
A plain studio backdrop or a clean interior at the Bagley Mansion keeps a recruiter's eye on your face, not your bookshelf—clean separation from background, no home-office clutter.
Attire one level up
Finance, law, and healthcare read better in a jacket or blazer. Tech and creative fields can go business casual with a sharp collar. Bring options—wardrobe changes are unlimited.
An expression that reads as you
Sharp eye contact and a direct, approachable expression—present, not stiff. Skin tones and detail that survive LinkedIn's aggressive compression at 200 pixels wide.
Recruiters look at your photo before they read your profile.
Recruiters, hiring managers, and prospective clients scan LinkedIn in seconds, and your photo is the first thing they see—before your headline, before your experience, before a single word of your summary. Whether you are actively job searching, building a personal brand, or keeping your profile current, the photo does real work. If your whole team updates together, a consistent look across every profile reinforces your company's brand, too.

Located in Historic Bagley Mansion
Not just a studio, but a destination
Detroit Photography occupies the master suite at the historic John N. Bagley House, one of Detroit's oldest and most prestigious historic homes.

The room features a set of massive bay windows and a carved master fireplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a LinkedIn headshot cost in Detroit?
+
LinkedIn headshots at Detroit Photography are $199 for the first image. This includes the session, professional retouching, and a high-resolution file sized for LinkedIn's circular crop. Session time and wardrobe changes are unlimited at no extra charge.
Is a professional headshot worth it for LinkedIn?
+
Recruiters, hiring managers, and prospective clients form an impression of you before they read a word of your profile. A real photograph—well lit, well composed, and retouched by hand—reads as more credible than a phone selfie or a cropped group photo.
Can I just use an AI-generated headshot for LinkedIn instead?
+
You can, but it shows. AI headshot tools generate a face from your selfies in minutes—the jaw shifts, the hands come out wrong, the expression is one you have never actually worn. Every headshot from Detroit Photography is a real photograph: you sit for the camera, you review the images live on a monitor during the session, and a real photographer retouches each file by hand. Nothing is AI-generated.
What makes a good LinkedIn profile photo?
+
LinkedIn crops every profile photo into a circle, so your face needs to fill most of the frame. A plain or softly blurred background keeps the focus on you. Dress one level more formal than your day-to-day role, and look directly at the camera with an approachable expression.
What should I wear for my LinkedIn photo?
+
Solid colors—navy, charcoal, or jewel tones—photograph better than busy patterns or logos. Dress for the role you want next, not just the one you have now. Bring two or three outfit options; wardrobe changes are unlimited and included in every session.
How long does a LinkedIn headshot session take?
+
Most LinkedIn sessions take 30 to 45 minutes, but session time is unlimited—we keep shooting until you have an image you actually want on your profile.
How fast can I get my photo if I need to update my profile now?
+
Standard delivery is 24 to 48 hours. Same-day delivery is available when you are actively job searching, starting a new role, or have an interview coming up and need your profile updated today.
Can you photograph our whole team for consistent LinkedIn profiles?
+
Yes. We photograph teams of any size at our studio ($199 the first image, $129 each additional) or on-location at your office ($349 the first image, $179 each additional), so every employee's LinkedIn photo shares the same background, lighting, and style.
Where is your Detroit LinkedIn headshot studio?
+
Our studio is located in the historic Bagley Mansion at 2921 E Jefferson Ave, Suite 101, Detroit, MI 48207, convenient to downtown Detroit, Midtown, and the surrounding metro.
