With Lockdown restrictions gradually being lifted, I am delighted that I can now get back to doing what I love - taking natural, professional headshots for Linkedin and other online media.
Having interacted with a lot of businesses online over the last 10 weeks, I found it hugely noticeable that many online profile photos are simply not up to the job of representing professionals. Many have out of date profile photos, selfies (yes, really!), holiday photos and worst of all.....no photo at all!
And yet, according to Linkedin, your profile is 10 times more likely to be viewed if you have a professional headshot. And we all know that we literally have milliseconds to make the right impression with our online presence.
So, maybe now is the time to update your professional headshot? Once you have a professional profile photo, you can use it not only on Linkedin, but also on Zoom/Microsoft Teams/Skype/or other video conferencing platforms, your Facebook business page, your email footer, google my business and newsletters.
All headshot sessions can be run according to current social distancing guidelines - with my zoom lens, I will be more than 2m apart and all headshot sessions will currently take place outside. So, what are you waiting for? Now's the perfect time to update your profile photo.
For more information and some tips about how to make the most out of your Linkedin profile photo headshot session, here is a blog I wrote:
