In 2022, we launched New York City's first self-portrait studio, FotoLab. In our self-portrait studio, you can capture professional-quality photos—no photographer required. You simply enter a private room where the camera, lighting, and equipment are all perfectly set up. All you need to do is press the clicker!
Our customers loved the simplicity and ease of booking with FotoLab, and within a year, we expanded to a second location in Houston. Today, with millions of headshots taken and thousands of 5-star reviews, we understand that people truly value affordable, high-quality photos.
In 2023, not long after our launch, we noticed the rise of "AI Headshot Generators." The concept resonated with FotoLab's mission—affordable access to high-quality photos—but after trying several, we found the quality disappointing. The AI headshots we tested turned looked pixelated, altered our facial structures, and even turned us into different races!
However, we continued to monitor the rapid progress in AI technology. We rigorously tested new models like Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, Flux, Midjourney, and others. By late 2024, we finally discovered an AI headshot generation model that produced photos nearly indistinguishable from those taken at FotoLab Studio.
We finally gained the confidence to develop our very own AI Headshot Generator—FotoLab Studio AI. We're thrilled to launch the first AI Headshot Generator created by a real photo studio. We take immense pride in our quality and are excited to make this tool accessible to everyone, not just those in New York City and Houston.
Please try our AI Headshot Generator and let us know what you think. We greatly appreciate your support and feedback.
