About HeadForge
HeadForge was built by a small team that got tired of the 2-hour studio shoot followed by 2 weeks of waiting for proofs that mostly didn't look like us. Modern image models — paired with thoughtful outfit and backdrop curation by working portrait photographers — make studio-grade headshots accessible to anyone with a phone camera and 30 minutes.
We're obsessed with three things: speed (forge in 30 minutes), honesty(flat fee, no upsells, refund if you don't love it), and privacy (your model stays private, source images auto-delete in 14 days).
