This is seriously one of my favorite ninja tools out there regarding headshots.
It’s super simple and straightforward. You upload your photo here (or just pop in the URL to an image file hosted on your site if you prefer) and the smart folks at MIT generate a score (out of 1.000) of memorability.
I don’t use this on every photo by any means, but when I was deciding between two shots for a specific promotional use, I uploaded the two and found they were BOTH “very memorable” based on the score of “fine-tuned deep features” according to the MIT smartypants.
So, cool! When you’re picking a shot to represent you at social media or wondering if that headshot your agent loves isn’t getting you in because *maybe* no one is remembering that it’s YOU when they see it, welp, now you can have backup in making a decision about it!
Have fun with this! I look forward to hearing how it goes for you!
