Professional headshots for Allen
I’ve known Allen for many years since we go to the same church in Spring. I have taken his portrait for the church council a number of times as well. He asked me for a headshot session for professional purposes. Allen had a very specific idea of what he wanted, complete with example headshots that he showed me ahead of time. I love this! When a client has something specific in mind, the best thing to do is to send me a photo of something similar (or exactly) what you’d like. We may not be able to re-create it exactly due to equipment and background differences. However, we can get really, really close. I look at things like the positioning of lighting, backgrounds, posing, etc. I can usually tell how a photographer has lit the portrait and can re-create that same look.
What background should you use for your LinkedIn profile photo?
LinkedIn is a professional social media platform that fosters business connections. Everyone who has subscribed to LinkedIn must have a profile photo, even if it’s the scary grey silhouette (I see you out there)! I did a poll a few months back about backgrounds specifically geared toward the LinkedIn profile photo. The majority of responders preferred the white background for a LinkedIn profile photo. I tend to agree. LinkedIn’s profile photos are very small and are now a round shape. You don’t see much of the person at all. A clean white background forces your eye to immediately focus on the person’s face, which is the point of a headshot after all. A tight crop, a white background, and the proper lighting provide the perfect combination for a beautiful, professional LinkedIn profile photo.
