Great idea, and it may really work. The price point looks right for corporate clients, although a lower price point for a small number of photos for private individuals would be nice. Nobody cares if the photo looks a bit retouched. It'll look great on the team webpage or on LinkedIn.

Can I make a suggestion? A similar service is needed for dating purposes. Most people on dating websites have awful photos, the kind you take in front of the bathroom mirror. You'd probably need to offer three pictures: one a headshot, another full-body, and a third in a social setting (party, sports, whatever).

Offering this service, you might even be able to partner up with major dating sites.

Do you think those ones are valid: https://www.metuktakim.co.il/dating.png ?

It's on different(more localized service in Israel) Called: https://www.metuktakim.co.il/

Which is well-dressed in Hebrew :)

The individual himself looks good - a bit of a PUA, but good. One picture with a blurred background is fine (for example, the golfing one) - but all of them is suspicious. And it's important to have at least one picture including other people (although it's acceptable to blur third-party faces in a dating context). Otherwise the guy comes across as a loner; and women are very picky about not dating serial killers.
BTW, that was a comment on the first set of pictures. The selection on the website is much more complete. It's perfect. But it might be worth inserting additional (AI-generated?) individuals on a few of them.
Alright, this has been requested so many times I think it’s time for me to build it.
