Getting a professional headshot shouldn't feel like a luxury. But between booking a photographer, traveling to a studio, and paying for editing, most people spend €200–€500 for just one or two good shots.

The truth is: you don't need to. Today, you can get affordable professional headshots online that look just as polished — for the price of a coffee.

That's why I built FiveShots.

Why Your Headshot Matters More Than You Think

Whether you realize it or not, your headshot is the first impression you give online:

  • On LinkedIn, a strong headshot increases profile views and recruiter response rates.
  • On a CV or portfolio, it makes your application feel credible and approachable.
  • On company websites, it influences how colleagues, clients, and partners see you.

A blurry selfie or outdated photo can send the wrong message. But a clean, professional headshot signals confidence and trust.

The Problem with Most Headshot Options

Traditional solutions are either expensive or complicated:

  • Photographers charge €200–€500+ for a studio session.
  • AI headshot apps often require 15–20 selfies to train a model.
  • Many platforms charge $30–$50 for a batch of images.
  • Delivery takes hours or even days.

That felt unnecessary.

The $5 Headshot Hack: FiveShots

I created FiveShots, a fast and affordable AI headshot generator, to make the process simple:

  • Upload 1 selfie (yes, just one).
  • Get 5 professional headshots in different styles.
  • Pay only $5.
  • Results in minutes, not days.

It's the easiest way to get a LinkedIn-ready headshot without hiring a photographer or spending a fortune.

Democratizing Professional Photography

Good first impressions shouldn't be locked behind high prices. My goal with FiveShots is to make high-quality, affordable headshots accessible to anyone — students, job seekers, professionals, or entrepreneurs.
