A Medium author photo for the byline
Medium bylines do a lot of work. Your author photo lifts open rate, build trust on the publication header, and shows up on every share.
HeadshotCam takes one selfie and gives you a byline-ready portrait. Pick writer, brand-strategist, or polished-pro styles, neutral background, and you have a photo that fits any tech, business, or design publication.

Tips
- 1 Editorial-feel beats corporate-feel. Soft window light is the byline classic.

- 3 Slight smile, considered expression.
- 4 Use the same photo on Substack, Medium, and LinkedIn. Cross-platform exposure builds byline recognition.
FAQs
Will it pass on medium?
Yes. The output is a realistic likeness of you, not a cartoon or filter. Pick a Foundations or Corporate style and the photo reads as a normal studio shoot.
Can I keep my face exactly the same?
Yes — your face, hair, and skin tone stay locked. Only clothing, lighting, and background change.
How fast is generation?
Most headshots are ready in 5 to 15 seconds. You can iterate, then "Edit with words" for tweaks, all in under a minute.
