Headshots for LinkedIn
“LinkedIn is a business-focused social networking site that launched in 2003. Its main purpose is to help people network professionally. The basic service is free. The site lets you find other business associates, clients, and colleagues whom you already know. You “connect” with them through the site, and they then become part of your network. Once you’ve connected with a person, you will then have access to their list of connections – this is called your “extended network.” You can request an introduction to people in your extended network through your mutual contact. LinkedIn also provides other features including the ability to set up and join groups, and a jobs section where members can advertise open positions or apply for jobs.” – https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/linkedin.htm
For LinkedIn headshots, I prefer a white background. The white background provides a unique, clean perspective on the headshot. Without dark or distracting backgrounds, the headshot and the person really stand out. That’s a good thing on LinkedIn. Stand out and put your best foot (or face) forward! So many headshots on LinkedIn are not good. You’ve seen the ones: the gray silhouette where there is no headshot, or the group shot cut off for that person, or the headshot from 1975 that clearly no longer represents that person. We can do better. And we should do better in this professional social network. This is not Facebook, folks!
Headshot for James
James needed a very simple headshot that truly represented him. He is quiet and a bit shy although you can tell he means business. James is organized and goal-oriented. He preferred a quiet smile to the overly ambitious smile. And the simple white clean background suited him well. James now has a fantastic headshot that is clean and well-suited for a website, business marketing, or LinkedIn.
