Whether you mean to or not, you often introduce yourself to people online before you ever meet them in person. That’s because our information and our content are everywhere. Facebook profiles, LinkedIn, Twitter — you’re making a first impression whether you realize it or not. You need to make sure that first impression is a good one, and that process begins with a quality portrait. Your profile photo, on any platform, tells the world (be it new friends or potential clients/employers) who you are. Introduce yourself online with the right portrait.

Creating the Right Portrait Is a Situational Matter

There are many different online platforms in which you may operate. Not every sphere is strictly professional like LinkedIn. That means a photo of you smiling in a suit and tie may not always be the right fit. Creating the right portrait is subjective, but know that it’s your first impression to make. A fun, creative portrait can tell people that you’re fun and creative. Depending on the platform and the nature of your work, that may be the exact message you’d like to send. It’s up to you.

Working with a Professional Portrait Photographer Will Help You Get the Results You’re After

This is why working with a professional on your portrait is so important. When you work with someone experienced, they can help point you in the right direction. If you want a standard, formal, forced-smile-against-a-dark-heather-background photo, you might not need to worry too much about who’s taking the picture. However, if you want to find room for creative expression while still effectively communicating your message, you’ll want to reach out to a pro.
