How to deal with your image problem

Is there a blank space on your LinkedIn profile where your photo should be? Do you work for MI5 or the CIA? Hmm – thought not.

dpix believes you should never under-estimate the importance of having a professional image on your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages.

In today’s crowded marketplace, first impressions are increasingly important. And what does it say about you if potential customers and business contacts are met by, well, nothing? In short, that you can’t be bothered.

Through our social media pages, we are trying to spread the message that we are experts in our field, someone who can be relied on to do a professional job.

But there is little point in having an immaculately worded profile if the first thing that web browsers see is a blurry snap of you at a friend’s birthday party or scantily clad on a beach.

Visiting a professional photographer who can create the relevant image for you and your business is a must.

Here are dpix’s top tips on to making sure you spend your money wisely.

•    When booking the appointment, discuss some of the ideas you have and what you do and don’t like;

•    Make sure that you take a change of clothes for different looks;

•    Be prepared to be offered some alternatives. A good professional photographer should not just be taking a simple head and shoulders shot. If you tell them about your business, they may introduce a relevant prop.

By the end of the shoot, what is important is that you have some images that reflect you, your business and give you credibility - and most importantly you are happy to use them.
