Why Your DIY Selfie is Getting Your CV Rejected

We've all been there. You need to update your LinkedIn profile, but professional photographers charge $200+. So, you stand against a white wall, hold your phone up, and hope for the best.

The Unconscious Bias

Recruiters often judge detail orientation based on photo quality. It's not fair, but it's psychology. A grainy photo, a messy background (is that an unmade bed?), or harsh shadows trigger a subconscious red flag: "This person cuts corners."

The Lighting Problem

The biggest difference between a studio shot and a selfie is lighting. Studio lights soften features and make you look approachable. Bathroom lighting creates dark circles under your eyes.

The Solution? Generative AI.

You don't need a studio anymore. With modern AI, we can take that casual selfie, analyze the facial structure, and reconstruct it in a professional environment. It preserves your identity while upgrading your personal brand.
