Great portrait photos without the expense of a professional photographer.

It’s not always possible to get photos taken, and so the solution is to use the new AI apps. This can be a short term fix whilst you get your personal brand set up. I had this conversation with Annie Yang on my show. She had tried many and recommended DreamWave.

I tried a few myself also, and found it to be the best. It is good because it enhances not modifies your portrait. You will still be recognisable…we want to look authentic, just not as though the photo was taken on the cheap.

I uploaded photos which I took using my iphone, and the app generated over 400 images.

One of the features that I really like about this app is that I can edit the image too. This allows me to make finer adjustments. The goal is to still look like me, but you can see the image has good lighting, and a nice blur background.

Credit for finding DreamWave goes to Annie Yang, who trialled all the applications. Annie was a guest on my show, and one of the issues we discussed was getting a pro shot for her publicity, when she was just a student. I then tried out many apps myself, before coming back DreamWave.

Here is a video taken from my personal branding course which shows you how you can take an every day photo and turn it into an image for your publicity.

At the time of writing this post, some 16,239,394+ million headshots had been delivered. If you want to try this yourself just click the link below. They do have a free AI headshot generator offering a few spots each day—but they fill up fast, often within a minute or two.

Full disclosure: I like this so much that I am an affiliate. If you do decide to use DreamWave then your price will not be affected, but they will pay to me a modest commission.
