Where Is Your Headshot

Where Is Your Headshot Today Im in Santa Rosa, California. A photographer for US News World Report is coming up to meet me just a few hours before a presentation on personal branding to the SNCR (pronounced snicker) group. Hes coming up because my old picture (to the right, on the bottom) just doesnt work, and the new one (to the right, on the top, and on the US News article, here), isnt the right one for the magazine (how freaking cool is that? The article is apparently going to print!) and Im pretty excited. Although I admit Ive thought a lot about Penelope Trunks posts about looking/feeling inadequate, and glad that the photographer can use Photoshop to whiten my teeth instead of me having to get them bleached :p Ah, the silly things we think about when the opportunity arises. So, lets assume your opportunity has arisen where is your headshot? Trust me, its a whole lot better (easier, cheaper, quicker, less stressful) if you are proactive about this part of your personal brand. You, every professional, should have a professional headshot. What for? I dont know your blog. Or your website. Or a newspaper article, or . who knows?? I scrambled to get my first professional headshot when Peter Clayton did a podcast interview with me almost two years ago (!!) and he required a headshot. So let me point you to the best advice Ive seen on your headshot: Sue Brettells article titled Online Identity: Headshots That Make A Compelling First Impression.
