Is it time for a new Business Headshot since many of us are 'meeting' online these days?

With many of us continuing to work very much online these days, our business headshots have become more and more crucial in creating the right impression.
Since March, I have 'met' many new clients/colleagues online via Teams/Zoom calls and Linkedin and I have found it hugely noticeable that many online profile photos are simply not up to the job of representing professionals. Many have out of date profile photos, selfies (yes, really!), holiday photos and worst of all.....no photo at all!
And yet, according to Linkedin, you are 14 times* more likely to have your profile viewed if you have a professional headshot. And with 575 million* people on LinkedIn, you really do want to find ways to stand out.
With current Government guidance, I am delighted that I can still continue to do what I love best - and that's taking natural, professional headshots for Linkedin and other online media. My long 70-200mm zoom lens, plus the fact that many of my photo shoots are outdoors, means that headshot photo shoots can continue within all social distancing guidelines.
So, maybe now is the time to update your professional headshot? Once you have a professional profile photo, you can use it not only on Linkedin, but also on Zoom/Microsoft Teams/Skype/or other video conferencing platforms, your Facebook business page, your email footer, google my business and newsletters.
So, what are you waiting for? Now's the perfect time to update your profile photo.
For more information and some tips about how to make the most out of your Linkedin profile photo headshot session, here is a blog I wrote: Headshot tips
Here are just a few examples of outdoor headshot sessions that have taken place since the term 'social distancing' has become a part of our day to day vocabulary......
