The idea is good, but why limit it to a professional headshot?
With approximately the same amount of effort / compute the portrait can be put into a large number of circumstances where people enjoy being portrayed: backpacking in a forest, a night in opera, on a deck of a cruise ship with ocean around, any tourist attraction in the background, etc.

Thanks, that's a good idea, but we're keeping scope narrow for now. It’s tuned for "must look official" rather than "looks cool." We might revisit it later.
