Here are our top tips for taking a great profile picture.
- Be the only person in the photo.
- Look at the camera – it makes you look trustworthy and reliable.
- Smile – it makes you look happy and friendly.
- Be tidy and well presented – you will look like you care about yourself and your appearance.
- Be yourself – keep your make up as natural and avoid wearing sunglasses.
Now for how to position the camera…
- Shoot from above – hold the camera a little above your eyes this will draw attention to your best features.
- Hold the camera away from your face – cameras are not designed to take photos very close up. For the best photo hold the camera at 50cm from your face.
- Use the best camera you can find – this might be the main camera on your phone or borrow one from a friend.
Like telephone calls and games of hide and seek some things are easier with a friend, so if you can ask a friend to help you take a good picture. Alternatively, if you have a professional photo you can use that instead or if you don’t have a digital copy of a great photo you can always try and take a photo of the photo and upload that…
