The photos you have been meaning to take, without booking a studio
Build a set of polished photos for LinkedIn, your CV, your website, and social profiles without arranging a studio session. Start with one clear selfie and choose a look from your paid pack. Available styling controls depend on your plan and pack. Portreya generates each photo in about 60 seconds.
An AI photoshoot is a photo session without the camera crew. Instead of booking a studio, you upload one clear selfie and an AI model generates professional photos of you: studio lighting, clean backgrounds, and outfits that fit the role you want to present. The photos read as a planned session, made from a picture you already have on your phone.
Professional lighting, framing, and backgrounds, generated instead of staged.
You stay recognizable: the goal is a stronger version of your real look.
Works from a normal phone selfie; no studio source photo required.
How an AI photoshoot works
Three steps, on your schedule. Choose the looks you want, generate your photos and review the results.
Upload one clear selfie. Additional source photos are optional.
Pick your styles: background, outfit, pose, expression, framing, and lighting.
Generate. Each photo is ready in about 60 seconds, with a small set of variations to pick from.
What you get from an AI photoshoot
A finished photoshoot is variety you can actually use: the same person, presented for different contexts. One session with Portreya can cover your LinkedIn profile, your resume, your website, and your social accounts.
Backgrounds from neutral studio to executive dark to blurred outdoor.
Outfit and clothing-color choices that match your industry.
Different poses, expressions, and framings, so each platform gets the right tone.
AI photoshoot vs a studio photoshoot
A traditional studio photoshoot typically costs $150 to $400 for a session, plus travel and an editing wait. An AI photoshoot costs a fraction of that. Each image takes about 60 seconds to generate; allow time to choose your looks and review the photos. The honest tradeoff: a photographer is still better for press features, casting, and any shoot where live direction matters.
Choose AI for LinkedIn, job applications, and profile refreshes.
Choose a photographer for editorial, casting, or press work.
Many people do both: AI for everyday profiles, a photographer for the big occasions.
Where people use AI photoshoot photos
The output of an AI photoshoot is built for the places where a professional photo does real work: profiles that recruiters, clients, and followers check before they contact you.
LinkedIn and job search: a current, credible photo for applications.
Personal branding: a consistent look across your website, bio, and newsletter.
Social profiles: a polished version of you that still looks like you.

An AI photoshoot is a photo session without a camera crew. You upload one clear selfie, choose the styles you want, and an AI model generates professional photos of you with studio lighting, clean backgrounds, and fitting outfits. The result looks like a planned photoshoot, made from a photo you already have.
How does an AI photoshoot work?
Three steps. Upload one clear selfie, pick the backgrounds, outfits, and looks you want, and generate. Each photo is ready in about 60 seconds, and every generation returns a small set of variations so you can keep the strongest shot.
How much does an AI photoshoot cost?
A traditional studio photoshoot typically costs $150 to $400 before you count travel and time off. An AI photoshoot with Portreya is a fraction of that: you pay once for a photo pack, with no subscription. Current pack prices are on the pricing page.
Is an AI photoshoot worth it?
For profile photos, usually yes. You get professional results for a fraction of studio cost, in minutes instead of weeks. A photographer is still the better choice for press features, casting, or any shoot where you want live direction. For LinkedIn, resumes, and social profiles, an AI photoshoot covers what most people need.
Can I use AI photoshoot photos on LinkedIn?
Yes. AI photoshoot photos work well as LinkedIn profile photos as long as they still look like you. Start from one recent, well-lit selfie so the output improves the setting without changing your face. You can use the finished photos on LinkedIn, resumes, websites, and social profiles.
How many selfies do I need?
One clear, recent selfie is enough. You can add more source photos if you want, but they are optional. Good light and no heavy filters matter more than quantity.
Are my photos used to train AI?
Portreya does not train a custom face model for your account. Third-party provider handling, including any retention or model-improvement setting, depends on the provider and configuration used for the request. See the Privacy Policy for current details and deletion requests.
What if I do not like the results?
Each generation includes a regeneration so you can adjust the result, and every pack is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee. If the set is not right, generate again with different settings or ask for your money back within 14 days.
