Can Higgsfield make professional headshots from a selfie?

Yes. In Image, pick Nano Banana Pro, attach the photo as an image reference and describe the outfit, backdrop and light while asking it to keep the face. Ours cost 2 credits per headshot at 2K (October 2026).

Is it OK to make AI headshots of employees?

Only with their own photo, their written consent and their approval of the final images. Do not use AI headshots where an unaltered photo is required, such as ID badges.

How do I keep the face the same in Higgsfield?

Attach the photo as a reference rather than describing the person, and start the prompt with what must stay exactly the same: face, skin tone, hair and smile.

Updated October 29, 2026. Built from real Higgsfield runs on 29 October 2026 and redone click by click in the Higgsfield web app the same day; every app screen in the practice is a real capture. The inputs, outputs, mistakes and credit costs in the lesson are what Higgsfield produced in those runs. Every business and person is made up, and every person shown is AI-generated. How we check this lesson

Six new people joined a 22-person law firm, and a photographer wants about $350 each and three weeks. In this free lesson you follow Dana Okafor (made up) as she attaches one casual photo as a reference in Higgsfield, writes what must stay (the face) and what changes (blazer, backdrop, light), and gets three matching headshots for 6 credits with Nano Banana Pro. The person in the photo is AI-generated; with a real colleague you need their written OK and their approval of every image.

The business case: matching headshots all year

Team pages, LinkedIn and conference programs need headshots that match, and people join all year. A photographer per hire is expensive and slow, so team pages end up a mix of selfies. These are example numbers.

With the person's own photo as a reference, Higgsfield's image models keep the face and change everything else. One prompt per size.

What happened in our run, and the consent rule

All three headshots (LinkedIn on grey, website in an office, a square on cream) kept her face, skin tone, curls and smile, at 2 credits each. The lesson still compares each with the original, closely: skin tone, hairline, teeth and jewelry are where models drift.

A face belongs to the person. Use only their own photo, with their written OK, and let them approve the finals. Never make one of someone who has not agreed, or of a public figure.
