Why Grey Backgrounds Are My Go To For Headshots

Image
  When it comes to headshots, there are endless choices for backgrounds. All of them have their place but none are quite as versatile as my favourite: grey.  Grey is the unsung hero of headshot photography. Here’s why I love it: 1. It’s Classy and Professional Grey is a great choice for executives or anyone needing a serious, polished headshot. While marketing professionals might opt for something bold, industries like finance and law benefit from a more refined, sophisticated look—exactly what a grey background delivers. 2.

Top 5 Tips For LinkedIn Profile Photos

Apart from the obvious, like really good lighting and equipment), the following are my top 5 tips for making the best impression with your LinkedIn Profile Photograph. Tip # 1 - Smile or Not To Smile? It is important to appear competent at your work. Lawyers do not want to look like Realtors and Realtors don't want to look like Accountants. There really is a difference. It is possible to have a profile image that has a combination of competence and approachability with a hint of likeability. The best approach is to smile with your eyes. Smile or no smile? Tip #2 - Plain Background Using a plain background without distractions ensures that you are the main focus of the image. Don't use chairs, walls or desks as props. These are OK for website imagery but not for LinkedIn. There is such a small space for you to impress your profile visitor so use it to the best of your advantage. Tip # 3 - Background Colour Go for the most striking background colour for your sk...
