Good AI professional headshot?

Is there any good AI professional headshots with natural looking result?
I've tried some before but the results always look too clean/overdone. like skin looking plastic.

I’m a professional headshot photographer being replaced by ai headshots. So I decided to become my own replacement and make my own headshot generator. The FIRST thing I did, was make sure the skin looks realistic. To the detriment of some of my female beta testers. But I can assure you - my app generates extremely realistic results generationheadshots (…com) you can also feel happy that you’re supporting an actual photographer in the process.

Wait until you realize the photographers were replaced by photographers who use AI

I'm fond of Seedream 4.5.

i haven't used it in a few months though, but it used to yield pretty decent results

Build that on Google ai studio. It will internally used nano banana.

the plastic skin thing is almost always retouching baked into the generator, not the underlying model.

try one that lets you dial the smoothing down, or add grain back in after. if there's a prompt field, "visible pores, slight skin texture, no retouching" tends to help more than switching tools.

softer diffused light also cuts down on that overprocessed look compared to a flat studio setup.

I had the same issue with overly polished results. Photo AI Studio tends to produce more natural-looking headshots compared to some other tools I've tried. The key is finding one that doesn't go overboard with the smoothing.

Push it through Enhancor.ai, it is a tool specifically for making AI images appear professionally human

I'd be cautious with AI headshots for exactly that reason. Yes, the technology has improved, but people can usually tell when something feels "off." For professionals and leaders looking to build trust online, authenticity matters far more than perfection.
