You are looking for a job or simply updating your social media presence. Your resume is updated. Your Headline and your profiles too.
Do you have a great looking picture to go with it?
This is a little fun project, especially for the weekends and while we are staying home. You can take professional style headshots at home with your smartphone.
Here’s how!
📱If you have the latest 5 iphone or android models, you have the portrait mode function on your camera app. If not, you can use apps to enhance your regular picture.
🌌💡Background and lighting: Pick a spot on your home with a clear or not so busy background. Use photo edit apps to blur the background and enhance your headshot. Try to get as much light as possible, avoid light fixtures that create dark shadows.
🙃Posing rather than head on makes a better impression. Put most of your weight on the leg farthest from the camera and bend your front knee slightly.
👔👗Dress for the job you want. Pick the right outfit, hair style, facial hair and makeup, accessories… sometimes less is more.
😀Smile!!!
🤳🏼Take LOTS of pictures
🌟BONUS – Use the magic wand option on your photo app, it enhances the properties of the picture.
