Does your headshot have this kind of impact?
Profile pictures—for the vast majority of us, they are a modern necessity. Whether it’s on your email signature, your LinkedIn page, your dating app, or your social media profile, your headshot often serves as your stand-in for a first impression. What does it say about you? Do people come away with an impression of your competence and warmth? How do you know if your profile picture is doing the job you need it to?
We recently found an interesting tool that can take a little of the mystery out of how people react to your profile picture. Photofeeler offers participants an opportunity to get unbiased feedback from complete strangers who rate images for either business use, social media posts, or dating profiles.
For people interested in how their headshot is perceived by others, Photofeeler offers you a chance to understand if your headshot is really doing what you need it to do.
Photofeeler is a free service as long as you are willing to vote on other people’s images. You can also buy credits to skip the voting process and speed things along.
There’s little downside to using Photofeeler that we can see. Try it out on your favorite profile picture and let us know what you think.
And if your current profile picture is not getting these kinds of responses, come see us at Headshot Headquarters. We will work with you to make sure your photos bring all your personal strength and warmth to bear.
