Whether you're using a photo of your smiling face or something else as your profile photo, there are some tips and tricks you can follow to create a great profile photo.
Photos versus logos
Alternatively, brands can use a photo that features a product. Whichever option you choose, make sure it's on-brand and in sync with your other social profiles.
Get the wallpaper right
Opt for soft lighting
Natural light tends to work well for most photographs, especially when the subject is a person. But you should also avoid direct sunlight, as it is more likely to catch shadows. For this reason, natural light right around sunrise or sunset (aka the "golden hour") tends to work well. If you absolutely need to take a photo in the midday sun, do it indoors near a natural light source like a window for a similar natural effect.
Use props wisely
Stick with it to ensure brand consistency
