Portrait photographer, scoring lead
Kristine Brennan
146 tools scored · 12-face kit
Twelve years shooting executive portraits in New York and Dublin. She writes the realism and likeness rubrics and sits on the five-judge panel as the photographer seat. We paid list price. We ran the same 12-face kit on every generator. If a frame fails at 100% crop, it fails.
How we test
We paid. We ran 12 faces.
- Matched selfie kit — 12 volunteer faces, ages 24–58, four skin tones, glasses on three.
- Blind panel of five: photographer, recruiter, dating coach, designer, civilian.
- List price first. Coupons are disclosed and never leak into the value math.
- Last full scoring run: Jun 18, 2026. Material model updates trigger a retest before a rank moves.
