What Your LinkedIn Photo Says About You
LinkedIn posted an article where they shared that profiles with a professional photo are more likely to receive engagement with “21 times more profile views and 9 times more connection requests” than those without. And no one understands the power of a headshot more than our Studio B team. In fact - we specialize in modern headshot imagery so that you can confidently put your best face forward!
Based on 16 years of experience in the industry, here is what we have learned about what your LinkedIn photo says about you…
#1. If you have a contemporary professional headshot, then you know the value of presenting yourself as capable and approachable. You know that your first impression with new colleagues begins with your digital handshake, and you get bonus points for knowing your personal brand is what allows you to connect with your clients.
#2. If you have a stylized professional headshot, then you value individuality and you aren’t afraid to let your fun-loving side step into the spotlight. We love how look-away photos appear effortless without sacrificing professionalism! This is an excellent choice for anyone in a creative industry.
#3. If your LinkedIn profile photo is a selfie of you on vacation, then you probably would rather do any other activity than have your picture taken. Have a tooth pulled, do your taxes, you get the idea. You might be shocked at how often we hear this from people who have put off refreshing their headshot for 5, 10, 15 years. But trust me when I tell you that our Studio B Team is excellent at creating a relaxed experience and bringing out you on your best day. From expert light to custom posing to camera ready styling, we are here for you every step of the way.
#4. If this gray emoticon is on your profile, then you KNOW it’s time to refresh your professional headshot! So what are you waiting for?
