About HDSHTS
The story behind our AI headshot service
Our Story
HDSHTS was born from a simple observation: professional headshots are essential for career advancement, but they're often expensive and inconvenient to obtain.
As a software developer and entrepreneur, I (Cartez Augustus) experienced this challenge firsthand when launching my career. High-quality professional photos were either unaffordable or required significant time commitments for scheduling, traveling to a studio, and waiting for the results.
In 2024, after seeing how AI image generation technology had advanced, I realized there was an opportunity to solve this problem. I set out to create a service that would make professional headshots accessible to everyone—regardless of budget or location.
HDSHTS is more than just a business; it's a passion project aimed at democratizing access to professional imagery. We believe everyone deserves to present themselves professionally without breaking the bank or jumping through hoops.
