Your LinkedIn Profile Picture Maybe Killing Your Job Prospects

So I ask you, does your photo strive too hard to be what you think professional is supposed to look like?Or are you using it as an opportunity to convey your personality? Im not a photographer, but I would like to offer some profile photo tips.Dont be afraid to show personality. You can have personality and be professional at the same time.Experiment with action shots. There isnt a lot of room, but the more you can demonstrate YOURSELF in action the better. Can you fit yourself giving a presentation into the photo, shaking hands, or even leaning on a hand?Play with the negative space. You notice the first photo in this post has uniform negative space around the guys head. The second photo is visually more interesting. He accomplished this by turning his body and tilting his head.Smile and think inviting thoughts.Thats my amateur photography advice. If you have some more ideas, please share them in the comments below.
