Why choose AI photography over traditional photographers?
Price, time and range. A studio session often costs hundreds and takes weeks to arrange; PhotoGuru starts at $9.99, works from your selfies and gives you many looks at once. For some jobs a photographer is still the better choice.
It depends on what you need the photos for. Here's an honest comparison.
Where AI photos win
- Price. A professional headshot session often costs hundreds. PhotoGuru plans are $9.99, $19.99 or $49.99, paid once.
- Time. No booking, travel or waiting for edits. Photos are ready in minutes.
- Range. One plan can cover a LinkedIn headshot, a business casual set and dating photos, each with different outfits and backdrops.
- Second tries. Didn't like a look? Try another one with your remaining credits.
Where a photographer wins
- Events and groups. Weddings, family portraits and big group photos need a camera in the room.
- Exact details. If a photo has to show your real office, a specific product or an outfit you own, shoot it for real.
- Direction. A good photographer coaches your expression and posture in the moment.
The honest middle ground
AI photos work best when they look like you on a good day. Your selfies guide the result, so pick the photos that match how you look today and skip the rest. If none of them are usable, ask for a refund within 7 days.
