LinkedIn headshots that actually get clicks

Your LinkedIn headshot is the single most-viewed professional photo of your career.

Your LinkedIn headshot is the single most-viewed professional photo of your career. It appears on every message you send, every comment you post, every job application you submit, and every connection request you receive. And yet most of them are terrible.

The style

What makes a great linkedin headshot

A LinkedIn headshot is a specific genre: 400×400 pixels, cropped tight to the face and shoulders, warm but professional, clearly intentional. It's not a corporate portrait and it's not a casual selfie — it's the middle register that signals 'I take my career seriously but I'm still a human.'
