AI art direction for company portraits, by a photographer

Some companies can't organize a photo shoot: scattered teams, constant turnover, no shared availability. So instead of a self-serve generator, I direct AI to produce their visuals, calibrated profession by profession. You send reference photos, I direct the production and curate the outputs, you get studio-grade team portraits, office scenes and founder branding. The AI produces, the photographer's eye decides what ships. No session, no calendars to align. EU storage, GDPR, AI Act labelled.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm a corporate photographer based in Lyon, France. I shoot headshots and team photos for law firms, agencies, and SMBs.
After enough shoots, I noticed a pattern: the hardest clients to photograph weren't the ones who didn't care about their image, they were the ones who cared but couldn't make it work logistically. A 15-person law firm where three associates are always in court. A dental practice where assistants rotate every six months. A veterinary clinic where no one is free at the same time, because emergencies don't schedule themselves.
These professions need professional portraits as much as anyone. They just can't organize a shoot.
So I didn't build a self-serve headshot app. I turned what I do behind a camera into a service: art direction over AI, calibrated to each profession. The framing lawyers need for bar association directories. The exact specs medical platforms expect. The five styles veterinarians use, including one with an animal, which turned out to be the hardest to get right and needed its own QC pass to avoid outputs that looked like a Halloween costume.
The positioning is deliberate. This doesn't try to replace photographers. The AI produces, the photographer's eye decides what ships. It covers the gap where a real shoot is structurally impossible, and clients often combine both: AI to unblock the website fast, a full shoot once calendars allow.
Happy to answer questions about the direction process, the curation logic, or why the veterinarian use case is harder than it sounds.
