Welcome to Focus-Headshots — your go-to online space for high-quality, professionally retouched headshot photos.
Whether it’s a quick selfie or a casual photo taken by a friend, you don’t need a studio to look like you’ve been in one.
With just one upload, I’ll help you transform an everyday picture into a polished, confident, studio-like portrait —
quickly, easily, and with care.
Perfect for LinkedIn, personal websites, portfolios, resumes, or social media — because making a great first impression shouldn’t be complicated.
The name Focus isn’t just about photography — it’s a life philosophy. Whether it’s your work, hobbies, family, or moments of rest, staying focused is key to doing things well. And while you focus on what truly matters in your life, I’ll take care of making your headshot look its very best. Focus Headshots was built on the idea that professional results don’t require a professional studio — just the right attention to detail, care, and precision. My job is to ensure that your portrait reflects the best version of you — sharp, confident, and ready for whatever comes next.
A great headshot starts with a good quality photo. For successful retouching, the initial image should be clear, well-lit, and professional-looking — even if it’s just a selfie taken at home.
Natural light from a window works best. Try to avoid direct sunlight and harsh shadows across your face. The key is to keep your eyes clearly visible and evenly lit.
Use a plain background, such as a white wall. It's important to have good contrast between the person and the background, especially if the background will be replaced later. This helps with clean edge masking and hair refinement.
If you'd like a different background, you can choose one here or send your preferred one. High contrast between the subject and the background makes it easier to remove and replace it accurately.
You can see examples of headshot photos with changed backgrounds in the carousel below.
Want the best results? I recommend going with a clean, professional look — think blazer, shirt, or blouse. But if that’s not your style, no worries — a casual outfit works too! Just keep it simple: skip anything with big logos, text, or loud patterns so the focus stays on you.
You can use a smartphone, a digital camera, or have someone else take the photo for you. A selfie works just fine – modern phones have cameras good enough for headshot photography. Make sure the camera is at eye level, and pose in a natural, confident, and professional way.
Follow these guidelines to ensure your photo provides the perfect base for a professionally retouched headshot.
