Another tip about portraits is to try and stick your neck out a bit leading with your forehead. This creates a stronger jawline. That eliminates any “extra” skin around the neck.

Good article – I’m going to share this with my network. The difference between the ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures are great!

Make sure the photo is appropriate for the industry you are looking for a job within. A good rule of thumb is, if your mother would not approve, it’s probably sending the wrong message. Consider using the same one you used for your Guerrilla Resume for consistency.

The issue is not a self-portrait vs. a picture of something else, the issue is a selfie vs. a professional headshot.

Also, the comment about “natural light [being] an amateur’s best friend“ because “It will keep harsh shadows away from your face or neck” is just plain wrong.

Natural light can of course cast harsh shadows. (Just try it around noon or even some time like 3pm.) And artificial light can of course cast soft shadows. The problem is that you need more artificial light and depending on the type of artificial lighting colour can be skewed…

Why would anyone think selfies are a no-no on LinkedIn? Of course they are not.

In fact LinkedIn ONLY allows selfies. If you post anything else for your photo your photo can be taken down without notice. (Yes, that happened to me once…)

On social media, profile pictures must present a strong first impression.

Selfies are the king on Instagram, but even LinkedIn can use them if done professionally.

So few use Photoshop and it should become a tool for online entrepreneurs.

Glad to see Photoshop being used in this article. Thanks!
