Seeing a lot of discussion about AI replacing various jobs, but curious about people’s thoughts on a specific niche - professional headshot photography. Traditional headshot sessions cost $300-600 and require scheduling, travel, and waiting for edited results. AI headshot tools can generate professional-looking headshots in minutes for under $50. From what I’ve seen, the quality gap is closing fast. A friend showed me headshots they got from Looktara and honestly I couldn’t tell they were AI-generated until they told me. If most people can’t tell the difference, why would anyone pay 10x more for a traditional photographer? But photographers argue there’s still value in human direction, lighting expertise, and authenticity that AI can’t replicate. Who’s right here? Is this another industry about to be disrupted by AI, or will there always be demand for real photography? submitted by /u/Unleash_The_Gay_823
