LinkedIn Photo That Works
You spend years investing in your network, your content, building your reputation – but your LinkedIn profile picture, the first thing people see, undermines all of it in a second.
Your headline says "Executive." Your photo says "I couldn't be bothered."
You honestly don't like your photo.
And yet, you keep it there for years.
Let's fix that.
The Problem
Only 1% of LinkedIn users have a professional headshot as a profile picture.
Why? Because getting one feels like a project you've never done before. "How to find the right photographer? Should I know how to pose? I've never done it before – what if I pay and it doesn't work?" – those are the questions you struggle to find answers to.
Eventually you postpone it again, and that selfie, or some lucky snapshot from the last party, or an artificial headshot sticks with you forever, greeting all new and old visitors on the front page of your online everything.
Why bother? 99% of LinkedIn users do exactly the same!
But that's the problem: your old profile picture makes you invisible.
How It Works
Before the Session. After confirming the reservation, I will send you a Prep Guide helping you get ready for your session. If necessary, we can arrange a Zoom consultation call.
During the Session. You will be guided through the session from the first step to the last. Nothing fancy or requiring special skills – just be in the mood to get great results and follow my lead.
After the Session. We will review the shots together, maybe take a few more if we need, and then I will help you select the best ones. Selected images will then be retouched and delivered within 2–3 days in high-resolution and web-friendly formats.
Why Me
Creating commercially viable headshots to me is not a side hustle – this is my main specialty.
As a Headshot Crew Associate, one of 200 certified Headshot Crew photographers worldwide, I use a proven system developed by the world's best headshot photographers to help you look natural, confident, and approachable.
You get exactly what you need to look natural on camera, even if you're convinced you're not photogenic. Every one of my sessions includes simple, direct guidance. Most clients are surprised by how enjoyable the session is and how much they actually like being photographed!
Leave the poor-quality photos and stiff, vague expressions to your competitors. Your image, from now on, is about confidence and approachability: you at your professional best.
What Makes Headshots Work on LinkedIn
Facial expression. You look confident and approachable in the most natural way.
Eye contact. Direct engagement with the onlooker creates instant trust and connection, exactly as in real life.
Professional lighting. Like a bespoke suit, designed to show your strengths and diminish your weaknesses.
Right crop. Head and shoulders only. Use all the image real estate to your advantage.
Clean background. Your face is the message. Anything else is a distraction.
Freshly updated. Update your headshot regularly. People notice – in a good way.
"Why can't I just use an AI headshot?"
The main purpose of your profile picture is to establish a connection between humans. Using an AI image might look like a great deal today but will do you a bad service tomorrow.
AI creates an average image using your uploaded examples and data on how this or that expression might look. It has nothing in common with your personality at the present moment.
A LinkedIn profile picture is not about filling that circle with a pretty-looking image – it's about showing yourself as authentic and present. It doesn't matter what kind of business you're in – first of all, you are in the human relationships business.
Trusting your first impression to a fake image is not the best idea. To look real, your headshot must be real.
"I'm not sure I can afford that."
Can you afford staying invisible and miss opportunities? For better effeciency, I use a session fee + per image fee pricing structure. This allows you decide how many images you want to buy, after you've seen all the shots.
The "20- or 50-image packages" you've usually been offered by most photographers might look like a great deal and make the price per image seem very low, but they don't include proper retouching (which gives that premium finish), and the truth is – you're only going to use a few of them. I will help you choose the best ones – a guided selection is also included in the session fee, along with the training and unlimited time and outfits.
So, even if your budget is for just one image, you will get a full experience and a great selection of shots to choose from, and I will make sure you leave with the best one.
