Portrait Photography for Social Media Sites
Corporate portrait photography is undergoing a change. There was a time when the only business photo someone had of themselves was a headshot commissioned by their company. For Facebook, people are often happy with a casual snapshot, but when people started using LinkedIn they wanted a business portrait of themselves that was less formal than a usual corporate portrait, but more than a causal Facebook shot.
Now, with the advent of other social media sites such as About.Me (aiming to fill the gap between ‘purely social’ and ‘all about business’), it’s becoming the norm for people to commission their own set of portrait photos done in a style that suits them. Many social media sites encourage you to use large portraits of yourself on the opening page. These are full screen portraits that show you in a good light and relate to your profession and your unique selling points.
So, I used this one for mine! http://about.me/mattwain
