Some executives favor their high school yearbook likeness. Others just choose to ignore the aging process. Either way, an outdated profile photo is not the best way to represent yourself on LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network.
 
Plymouth, MA, Sep 18, 2020 -- Some executives favor their high school yearbook likeness. Others just choose to ignore the aging process. Either way, an outdated profile photo is not the best way to represent yourself on LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network.

According to Debi Cramer, founder and principle photographer at Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography in Plymouth, MA, “There are a number of professional profile photo ‘no-no’s’ including scowling, wearing sunglasses or clothing items with prints, as well as standing alongside other people - or next to someone’s shoulder and arm in the case of a cropped image.”

Professional Image Counts…and May Influence Connections

A LinkedIn profile photo is also not the best place to show off a cherished boat, sports car or pet. It’s okay to wear ski goggles if you’re a ski resort owner, but not okay if you’re a ski enthusiast and your profession is selling life insurance. It should be noted that NOT having a profile photo doesn’t work in your favor either. Will fellow networkers and recruiters want to connect? Perhaps not. Those who do have a profile photo on LinkedIn may receive up to 21 times more profile views than those lacking profile photos (according to LinkedIn).

In an effort to help professionals improve upon their LinkedIn profile photos, Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography, a commercial and fine art photography studio, is holding an “Ugly LinkedIn Profile Photo” contest now through November 31, 2020.

Three people will be selected for the “Ugly LinkedIn Profile Photo” and will receive a professional portrait taken at Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography’s new studio at 27 Danforth Lane in Plymouth, MA 02360.

To enter the contest, simply email your LinkedIn URL to Debi Cramer, founder and principle photographer at Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography, [email protected]. Winners will be notified by email.
