Linkedin Photos are a necessity in the modern workforce. You need them for your resume, job, and professional online profile.

 

Does Your LinkedIN Photo Matter?

Well, does it!? 

In short; yes. It matters a lot. I’m not just saying that because I take headshots for people who need them FOR LinkedIN. I’m saying it because it’s true. If you want a recruiter to hire you, talk to you, or even get to know what you’re all about you definitely need a great photo to accompany your otherwise stellar body of work. I have heard from many HR folks who have hired me to update their staff photos that it’s always been an issue.

“He’s been using the same picture since 1998”

“She used a photo from her wedding”

“They took a selfie and posted it on their page”

Those are just some of the things I’ve heard over the course of my eight-year career shooting people. I have also shot headshots for recruiters and I kid you not – more often than not they will admit to passing over someone just because of the photo they chose for their LinkedIn headshot.

“I’d hire her but the picture of her on the mechanical bull is too much, who does that?”

“He seems great but we have another guy with the same skill set that didn’t use a picture of them golfing.”

“He’s holding his kitten in the photo…”

Again these are things I have legitimately heard while taking headshots for clients. You may not think so but your LinkedIN Headshot photo matters big time. It’s not a representation of who you are but it also lets potential recruiters and companies know that you take yourself seriously enough to schedule a proper photoshoot, for lack of a better word; a classy photo. I have had clients message me not too long after photoshoots with great news of how our photos helped them land the job and that they’ll be back in a few months. That’s another thing! Ideally, you should be getting new photos every six months or so or every two years when you get promoted or make another career decision.

Believe me, as a photographer I know how much people hate to have their pictures taken for work. It’s just part of working life now. We are so connected on every level digitally why wouldn’t you want to have an elegant photo of yourself that enhances your professional presence online?

As always – thanks for your time. I gotta go take some photos.

Getting Your Headshots

A lot of my clients will pop by my studio or I’ll show up at their office and I’m sometimes met with this statement; “They’re making me do this.” I think any photographer anywhere will agree that they hear that more often than not. I also hear “I don’t know why I need this.” It’s like when Ralphie had to wear the rabbit costume in a Christmas Story.  At first, I was taken aback. Say about seven years ago when I first started shooting full time; I’d think to myself “Wow. who doesn’t like to get their picture taken!?” (This is also coming from a dude with slight ME complex)  As it turns out A LOT of people don’t like getting their picture taken. As a photographer, that has informed me to create as comfortable a situation as possible so folks can come away happy with their photos. I’ve seen and worked with plenty of photographers that straight up act like divas around their clients and guess what? That doesn’t help.  The other thing we hear a lot of is “I hate myself in pictures.” I personally take that as a challenge and do have a pretty good track record of shooting something my clients are very happy with. Not to toot my own horn; but toot toot mother f****.

Headshots are important. They show your best self and let people know who you really are. The eyes are the window into the soul and the face is the rest of the house – right?  I just made that up. Your face is a house. Does that make sense? Anyway, we live in the age of crazy connectivity where once your photo gets posted online – it’s literally everywhere in the world in less than seconds. The instantaneous transfer of data is so unreal sometimes that it gives you pause!  I have shot for clients that had to real-time have their photos shot, edited, and sent to their main office overseas to be posted on their website. That’s just mindblowing to me. Headshots are a necessity, and I’m not just talking about headshots for the corporate environment. (I do really love doing corporate headshots)  I’m talking about headshots for yourself. I have done photos for many folks who just wanted to overcome that tinge of anxiety that may lie within so that they can feel confident about themselves by getting in front of a camera, getting great shots, and saying “Hey, I DID that.” I love that. I feel like a proud papa when I can help someone make that happen. I have also done headshots for people to use on dating apps, which I love doing too. Folks gotta step up their dating game somehow, right? They are also great to remember yourself a certain way. Folks are afraid of their own ego but I say to heck with that and feel yourself! Be confident, proud, awesome, and know your worth!

Headshots are a necessity. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. Book yours now.

About

New York City

Hello! My name is Rich and I started NYPhotoNY.com in 2013 as a full-time photographer. I cater to many individuals and brands offering high-quality photo and video. I grew up in Queens and I could honestly say I’m still obsessed with New York and everything it brings. It’s a fascinating place especially with the variety of people my profession allows me to meet.

My Work

I have a great track record for providing excellent images in a timely manner. As a working-class artist and I have a down to earth sensibility with great attention to detail that comes through in my work. I think fast and shoot quickly and precisely. I truly love what I do and constantly strive to improve. We can always be better than we were yesterday.

My goal is to make every shoot better than the last.

Your Lifestyle Photos

Clients often ask me what my most popular package is. My answer is always the same; one hour of walk around shooting time with up to three outfit changes, all images delivered the same day and retouches of up to 15 shots within 48 hours. I charge $300 flat for this package. More often than not I’ll hear an “I’ll take it!” Well, figuratively I’ll hear it. It’s usually over email or text or in some cases through the all-powerful “DM” (which in this case doesn’t stand for Dungeon Master for my D&D peeps) On occasion I’m met with some resistance and depending on the situation I’ll explain to a potential client that they are investing in themselves with my photography.

How does that translate? Let’s say we walk around for an hour and I take over a hundred shots. I may edit a certain number for a client BUT they get all images to do with as they please. There is an evergreen quality to a shoot like this because someone could take their shots and regularly post them and still have more in the catalog. Many of my clients do this. I’ll get on Instagram and see something I shot years ago and think “how cool is that?” We live in a very connected age so if you’re a blogger, journalist, influencer, style icon, writer, actor, model, or what have you; these shots will be beneficial to your career. Why not hire a pro to capture you at your best instead of taking those selfies or forcing your friends to capture your best side on your cell phone? They tell you they don’t mind, but they’re lying!

Besides branding and self-promotion lifestyle photos are a fun way to show people your personality or even get out of your shell and do something cool! Some of my clients want lifestyle photos just for themselves and that’s perfectly fine! Why not treat yourself with a little bit of vanity? There is nothing wrong with that. Getting your picture taken is a very personal experience that most people aren’t a big fan of. However, it works both ways. If you love the camera we’ll have a great shoot. If you hate the camera we’ll still have a great shoot because when working together we can bring out that dynamite personality. Also, side note: Lifestyle shots are great for dating apps. I’ve had nothing but positive feedback when folks use our shots online!

Another great thing about lifestyle photos is that not only can we shoot them anywhere, but you’ll have something to look at a few years down the line. You’re investing in visual memories of yourself, which can really be said about any photo shoot. Lifestyle shoots are fun and being in NYC there are plenty of amazing places to shoot. Doing this for so long I have a few tricks up my sleeve! I would also suggest really going for it when we shoot. You can always buy some fun clothes and return them after the shoot (Happens a lot!) I’m readily available in the NYC area with usually a week’s notice. sunglasses, lifestyle, product photographer, product photography, jadeblackco, lifestyle photography
