6 REASONS WHY A LINKEDIN PROFILE PHOTOGRAPHER IS A MUST-HAVE FOR YOUR NEXT BUSINESS EVENT

How do you appear in your own LinkedIn profile photo? Maybe it's an outdated photo, self-taken, a crop from a vacation snapshot, poorly lit, or you no longer resemble it! Everyone struggles with finding a suitable LinkedIn profile photo, even though it's the first thing others see of you. You only get one chance to make a stunning first impression.

At the Doe het SelfieBox, in addition to the rental of photo booths, we are also actively involved in all forms of on-location photography. We arrange a LinkedIn profile photo studio with a professional photographer at various events.

Are you organizing an event soon? Then having a Mobile Photo Studio for LinkedIn photos could be a very valuable addition. A few examples of suitable events:

Business event
Conference
Career event (with, for example, a CV check and profile photo shoot!)
Networking meeting
And more!

Have you ever thought about hiring a LinkedIn profile photographer for an event? We have listed several good reasons for you why you would want to set up a LinkedIn profile photo studio at your next event!

Few people have a good profile photo taken on their own
The threshold to approach a photographer for a profile photo is very high. Being the center of attention, how to pose for your photo, what to wear, all these are hurdles that prevent taking that step.
A good profile photo determines the first impression
The importance of a good professional profile photo is often forgotten. Especially that first impression counts. You can be sure that you will make many visitors happy with a professional profile photo studio.
You cannot take a good LinkedIn profile photo yourself
We often see selfies or vacation snapshots with the head cropped out being posted on LinkedIn or in job applications. Such a shame. That first impression is ruined. Taking a good photo yourself really doesn't work.
You give a very valuable gift
The barrier to seeking out a photographer is largely removed, as they are waiting for your guests and invite them to take a photo. The initiative to take a good photo is suddenly reversed. You help them with that important first impression and ensure that those poor selfies and vacation snapshots are driven out of profiles.
Collect practical data from visitors
A visitor who receives such a nice gift is almost always willing to give something in return. This could be an email address, or a few minutes of their time in which you can pitch your company, or answering a survey.
Keep visitors engaged at your booth or event
You want a busy booth at a trade show. Where people stop, engage in conversation, or have their photo taken, new people hope to join. They want to know what there is to experience at such a booth. This way, you come into contact with many more people to make your trade show participation a success.
 

We help your visitors, customers, guests, job seekers, students, …, with taking the perfect profile photo. That profile photo is suitable for much more than just LinkedIn. They are also valuable for job applications or on a website.

LinkedIn reports that the chance of a profile being viewed is 14 times greater if there is a profile picture. Profiles with a photo receive much more attention and are viewed 20% longer than a profile without a photo.

To be well recognized, it is important that your head is fully in the frame, with a small part of the upper body. A light background provides calmness and gives full attention to the person in the photo. A simple, friendly smile, directly into the camera, with a confident expression makes you connect with the viewer. It simply inspires confidence.
