03Privacy as the actual product

The American Society of Picture Professionals has noted that scopophobia is a real friction in headshot uptake. Generating from your own phone means no one sees your face find its angle. The pipeline runs MediaPipe face detection, flags weak frames during upload, and the gender-aware system holds across Black, Asian, Hispanic, Indian, and Middle Eastern features without separate packs. None of that requires a chair, a softbox, or a small-talk warm-up.
