Bath portrait photographer is ready to create a unique profile picture for you.Your profile picture says a lot about your personality
Given all this, it’s imperative that you do include a photo in your LinkedIn profile, and that you use one that does you justice. It goes without saying that by using a low-quality photo, perhaps a selfie or one taken with your computer’s built-in camera, you may well be selling yourself short. Here are some tips from the local photographer near you for getting top quality pictures for your profile:
1 Dress professionally When having your profile photo taken, wear the kind of clothes that you’d wear when at work. This helps you to look the part and enables the person viewing your profile to image they’re meeting you in your professional role.
2 Use an uncluttered background If getting a photo taken in your home or workplace, do be mindful of background clutter which might be visible behind you. You might not have noticed that pile of washing up behind you or your colleague’s jacket strewn across a chair, but anyone looking at your picture almost certainly will. As a professional photographer, I often use rolls of white or grey background paper for this. Alternatively, a clear wall (without pictures on) works well, as does a background with a simple regular pattern such as stone or brickwork, perhaps out of focus, concentrating attention on the subject.
3 Spend time getting the job done properly It’s common for people to use the same profile picture across all their social media accounts. So they paste their Facebook profile picture into their LinkedIn profile. But consider for a moment your social traits that define what you’re like as a friend or how you interact with people at a party. And then think what it is you can offer people in your professional life. The odds are that you identified two very different sets of characteristics. This reflects why it’s probably worth having a different profile picture for your ‘professional’ social media page from the one you use when you’re liking dancing cat videos. It takes a bit more time and effort, but should be well worth your while.
LinkedIn themselves recommend getting a photograph taken professionally. Beata Cosgrove Photography in Bath can do this for you, delivering great pictures at very reasonable prices. You can see more of Beata's portrait photography here or contact Beata directly.

Beata is very welcoming and made me feel instantly relaxed right from the start of the session. Her clear direction and knowledge of how to take pictures of people really came across and helped me to be myself and really show my personality during the session. Beata used different lighting and various angles to achieve a fantastic set of pictures which really captured my personality. I was amazed at how many pictures were taken which gave me lots of choice. Beata is very professional and takes pictures which bring out the best in people and I would not hesitate to recommend her as she clearly has a passion for photography which translates to really high quality pictures that you can feel confident and proud of.
