Let’s take a look at Lynda’s (not her real name) LinkedIn photograph she had before she met with Photo Fabulous You and point out a few things:
§
you notice right away that this is not a professional but a
social photograph, probably taken at a restaurant or ball game; chosen as a “this will
work” kind of profile photograph, a snap shot; What does this say about you?
§
in the background you have a very prominent colored object,
which takes your focus away from the main subject
§
the shoulders look unbalanced and awkward
§
but on a positive note it’s still a photograph with a fantastic
smile in natural lighting
Taking
a look now at Lynda’s Photo Fabulous profile photo:
§
prior to our photo shoot Lynda consulted with our Image Expert
to go over her personal branding, how she wanted to perceived by her target
clients (e.g. friendly, approachable, professional)
§
Lynda’s photo blasts confidence, power and definitely
professionalism but she still appears very
friendly and approachable; that’s exactly what you want from your
profile photo
§
the background does not create any distraction; soft muted color
and patterns
§
it is still a relaxed setting with natural window light, where a
smile comes easy
§
Lynda’s attire is professional and the colors compliments her
eyes
§
hair is not falling into her beautiful eyes as the main focus
should be on the eyes
§
the image has been cropped and sized so Lynda’s face fills the
frame, creating the focus point
§
the image has also been optimized to make it easy for Lynda to
upload it to LinkedIn
