AI headshots for students and new graduates
Applying for internships means your LinkedIn is doing a lot of work with very little experience behind it. A clean headshot is the cheapest way to look like someone who takes the search seriously. ExecShot turns one selfie into a professional set, without a studio booking or a photographer day rate.
From $29.99, one time payment. Results in under 2 minutes.
One selfie in, students headshots out
Illustrative examples: an everyday phone selfie on the left, and the headshot ExecShot generated from it on the right.
The gap between a student profile and a professional one
Most student profiles use a cropped photo from a formal, a graduation, or a night out. Recruiters filtering hundreds of applicants for a handful of internship places notice, not because they are judging the photo itself, but because it is the fastest available signal about how seriously someone is treating the process. It is also the one part of the profile you can fix in an afternoon, unlike experience.
How it works
From selfie to studio-quality headshots in three simple steps.

Download and shine
Pick your favorites, regenerate until they are perfect, and download instantly for LinkedIn, portfolios, and business profiles.
What to get right when you have no work photos yet
You do not need a suit, a studio or a LinkedIn presence built over ten years. You need one photo that does not look like a crop.
Do not crop a group photo
It is the single most common student profile photo and it is obvious every time. Someone else shoulder at the edge of the frame, an odd angle, party lighting. Any deliberate photo beats a good crop of a bad source.
Dress for the industry, not the interview
Consulting and finance lean formal. Engineering, design and startups do not. A collared shirt or a simple blouse is right almost everywhere and wrong almost nowhere, so start there if you are unsure.
Use it everywhere at once
The same photo should go on LinkedIn, Handshake, your university career portal, your CV header and your personal site. Consistency across those makes you easier to remember between application rounds.
Look your actual age
Trying to look forty when you are twenty one produces a photo that feels off. A clean, well lit photo of a confident twenty one year old is exactly what an internship recruiter expects to see.
Take the source selfie properly
Face a window, hold the phone at eye level rather than below it, no hat, no sunglasses, no filter. Five seconds of care on the input improves everything that comes out.
Where students use these
- LinkedIn profile
- Handshake and university career portals
- CV and cover letter header
- Internship and graduate scheme applications
- Student society and club pages
- Personal portfolio site
