What is included in our LinkedIn profile photo service
Here we explain what is included in our LinkedIn profile photo service in London.
Once we undertake a professional LinkedIn profile photo commission, we allow 10 minutes of set-up time where we locate the quietest part of the client’s offices in London. We bring a professional digital camera, a portrait lens, studio lighting and a background roll and stands. Each LinkedIn profile photo session last approx 15 minutes, and in this time, we capture a wide range of expressions and stances. Clients have the option of changing their wardrobe as this gives a greater selection to choose the ideal LinkedIn profile photo. We normally capture high res jpegs and offer the clients approx 40 images to select from. After the LinkedIn profile photo session, we send the client our invoice along with a set of preview images via our WeTransfer site. Once the client has settled the invoice, we send all the high-res jpgs to them.
Once the client has selected the headshot they want to use for their LinkedIn profile page, we offer a variety of post-production services. We will retouch and edit the LinkedIn profile photo so that we remove any unwanted scars or spots. Also, we can tidy up any skin flaws and eyeballs. We do this in a way so that it is very subtle, as you must never be able to see that the LinkedIn profile photo has been worked on in Photoshop. We can tidy up any loose or flyaway hairs and remove nasal and ear hair. We often clean up men’s shaving cuts, as a lot of men will have a shave on the morning of their LinkedIn profile photo! On dark clothing, we usually remove any signs of dandruff.
Although we capture on a white background, you can never produce a pure white web friendly in camera. We can, however, add one in post-production. White is the most common background we add. We can of course, add any background you require. But you must specify this prior to the LinkedIn profile photo commission as if it is shot on a white background; it is very tricky to replace this with a dark background and visa versa.
We hope this answers the question of what is included in our LinkedIn profile photo service in London. If you have any further queries, please get in touch.
