Stand out with a professional Linkedin profile photo. Take your Corporate headshots in Singapore

A clear, high quality business headshot helps to communicate professionalism and make you look more credible. In the digital era, it allows people to attach a face to a name, making it easier to understand whom they are speaking/writing to. It also helps others to find you quickly on Linkedin in the event that there are others with the same name. Depending on your role in the company, you may also be requested to provide your headshot to the media. It’s good to be prepared.

Whether you are doing a photoshoot arranged by your company or for your personal use, it’s good to know what you are looking for:

• Do you need the business headshot only, or up to the waist, or a full-body portrait?
• What dimension do you need: vertical, horizontal or square?
• What’s the look you are going for? This will determine your clothes and poses for the photoshoot.
• Do you need a makeup artist?

A good Linkedin profile photo needs to meet the following requirements:

• High resolution: It should not be blurry
• Your face takes up at least 60% of the frame. You want people to see your face clearly.
• Has a simple background to avoid distraction
• Conveys your personal brand
• Use filters selectively

There are some poses that work well with corporate photos:

• What you usually see: standing with your back straight, turn your body slightly (10-45 degree), slightly lean towards the camera.
• The same pose as above but with your arms crossed.
• “Over the shoulder” pose: with your body completely facing away from the camera, then turn your head towards the photographer. This pose creates a more fun and casual look.
• Lean sideways on a wall
• Playing with props (can be your glasses or other objects)
• And many others.

• Company website
• Personal website
• Social media, especially Linkedin
• Resume
• Business blogs and publications
