Headshots for educators, researchers, and authors.
Faculty pages, journal author bios, and university press kits expect a specific tone: knowledgeable, warm, and unmistakably intellectual. Academic styles deliver it — bookshelf backdrops, soft studio lighting, thoughtful expressions, and attire that signals long days reading rather than long days networking.
The six looks span the campus: Professor, Researcher, Lecturer, Author, Archivist, Dean. Each one reads as a different role on the org chart of a university.

About Academic headshots
Can I use Academic styles for a tenure file?
Yes. Professor and Dean are calibrated to the formal-but-warm tone tenure committees expect. Pair them with a clean white background if your institution requires it (use the "Edit with words" feature: "change background to white").
I'm a postdoc, not a professor. Which style?
Researcher fits best — clinical lab-coat attire, modern-office backdrop, focused expression. It reads as "actively doing science" rather than "running a department."
Author style — for textbook or fiction authors?
Both. The pensive-thoughtful expression and rim lighting works for any kind of writer. For genre fiction, layer "Edit with words" prompts to swap the backdrop or add visual props.
