“What do I think of my headshot?” he asked.
I think he knew the answer before asking.
It’s not a matter of what I think, it’s a matter of how it makes you look. I told him he looks very unhappy to be in the picture: you don’t look like that anymore. Yup, we all change, and many of us changed dramatically in COVID and afterwards.
My friend–and I can say this with confidence because I have the same characteristic–the middle part at the top of your head is even wider now than it was before. Do you ever have a new hairdo!
Get a new professional headshot. Look approachable. Use the background too, showing us your face and the top portion of your shoulders in the foreground.

Explore a fresh headshot. It’s an effective marketing graphic to broadcast the real, current, happy you.
