The Perfect Profile Picture
1) Find your best light
Shady areas outdoors, without direct sunlight, are a great lighting choice. Inside, avoid overhead light,
which creates harsh shadows, and instead look for natural light.

2) Simplify the background

Look for a background that is clear and uncluttered. A solid, not-too-bright wall or simple outdoor
background works well.

3) Focus on your face

Face the camera straight on or with your shoulders at a slight angle. Crop so that you only include your
head and the top of your shoulders.

4) Smile! (You’ll land more jobs)

Clients find smiling freelancers more warm, friendly, and trustworthy. Not used to smiling for the camera?
Try pretending that you are greeting your best friend.
The Perfect Profile Picture

The Perfect Profile Picture


How to appear likable, competent, and influenGal

Don’t block your eyes.

Sunglasses drop likeability score, and hair, glare, and shadows drop competence and
influence.

Define your jawline. A shadow line that outlines the jaw all the way around helps
with likability, competence, and influence.

Show your teeth when you smile. A closed mouth smile has a small
increase likability. A laughing smile increases likability even more, but you lose ground
in competence and influence. The best smile, according to PhotoFeeler, is a smile with
teeth. This leads to gains across the board in likability (nearly twice that of a closed-
mouth smile), competence, and influence.
 eRezeki Global High Income FastTrack - 12th November 2016

The Perfect Profile Picture


How to appear likable, competent, and influenGal

Try formal dress. Dark-colored suits and light-colored buttondowns (with ties, for
men) had the greatest effect on competency and influence out of all other factors.

Head and shoulders (or head to waist). Close-ups on just headshots brought
scores down, as did full body shots.Try a squinch. A squinch is a slight squint. The
idea behind it is that wide eyes look fearful, vulnerable, and uncertain. Slightly
squinted eyes may come across as comfortable and confident. PhotoFeeler found that
squinching eyes has an increase across the board in competence, likability, and
influence.
