-
1 Upload
Upload 10 selfies
Phone photos are fine. Mix up the angles, expressions, and outfits. Take them in the last year so the AI grades you, not a younger you.
-
2 Generate & grade
The AI builds and grades your photos
Every shot is scored against a working photographer's checklist. Lighting, eyes, sharpness, identity match. The bad ones get tossed before you ever see them.

Why this matters
Your headshot is doing the work for your practice
Patients shop the photo on Healthgrades, Vitals, and your practice site before they read your bio. The wrong photo loses the call before they get to your training.
It earns the appointment
Patients are scared when they pick a doctor. A calm, credentialed photo lowers the friction so they call. A bad photo sends them to the next listing.
It reads like a clinician, not stock
White coat or scrubs. Neutral or clinical backgrounds. The look hospitals and group practices already use across the staff directory.
It works for every patient touchpoint
Healthgrades. Vitals. The hospital staff directory. The practice website. The patient-portal staff page. LinkedIn. One Aurawave session covers all of them.
Why Aurawave
Photographer-built, not algorithm-dumped
Other tools generate 100 mediocre photos and make you sort through the rejects. Aurawave runs every photo through a working photographer's grading rubric and only delivers the keepers.

20+ years behind the lens. 15,000 studio sessions in the rubric.
Joshua spent 20+ years behind the lens. He ran a top-10 US headshot studio in Chicago from 2007 to 2024. He saw the AI category shipping photos that looked like models, not the real people who paid for them.
Aurawave is the fix. The same checklist he uses on studio shoots, baked into the grading layer. The AI is the camera. The photographer is still in the room.

Doctor headshot FAQ
Questions about doctor headshots
The most common questions we hear from physicians, residents, and private-practice owners.
Will this look professional enough for my practice's website?
Yes. Aurawave outputs are styled for the staff page, the bio block, and the meet-the-doctors grid. Clean backgrounds, neutral wardrobe, the look most group practices already use. Patients should not be able to tell the photo came from a different shoot than the rest of the team.
Can I get a version with a white coat and a version without?
Yes. Most doctors order one Aurawave session and use it across every channel. White coat for Healthgrades and the hospital page. Button-down for LinkedIn and the speaking-engagement headshot. Scrubs for the patient-portal staff page if your specialty calls for it.
Is the styling appropriate for Healthgrades and Vitals?
Yes. The default crop and background match what Healthgrades and Vitals show, which is a small round photo next to your name. Busy backgrounds compete with your face at that size. Aurawave defaults to clean backgrounds that read calm and credentialed at the size patients see.
Can my hospital use these in the staff directory?
Yes. You own the photos. Hand them to your hospital marketing team for the staff directory, the patient-portal staff page, and any group-practice site they manage.
Is it ethical to use an AI photo for a profile patients trust?
Yes, when it is built from your real photos. The patient sees the same hair, the same skin tone, the same age, and the same face that walks into the exam room. That is not deception.
How fast will I get my photos, and do I own them?
Under 90 minutes from upload to delivery. Most orders finish in less than an hour. You own the photos with full commercial use, which covers Healthgrades, the hospital directory, the practice site, your CV, and your business cards.
