5 Key Elements of a Great Portrait
Sometimes it’s easier to understand what it is that you don’t like about a photo than it is to identify why you love a photo. Fortunately there are a few key elements that go into almost every great portrait. Here is a list of 5 elements that Melonie Dodaro of Top Dog Social Media recently identified as being important to making a great business photo for use on LinkedIn and your other social media accounts:
- Ensure your photo has a clean background
- Use a professional photographer to create a great photo for you
- Use a tight headshot
- Add a splash of color to your wardrobe
- Turn that frown upside down
– the subject deserves to get all the attention
– please, no selfies!
– save the weekend party pictures for Facebook
– stay professional, but ditch the drab
– a smile always invites action or engagement
We try to incorporate all of these elements into every business portrait we create. If you want to learn more about why each point is important then you can see the original article “5 Elements of a Successful Social Media Profile Picture” at the Top Dog Website.

Testimonial from Corporate Headshot Client David Taylor
"I hired Sean to do a headshot for my website and for my social media accounts. He was extremely easy to deal with, definitely an expert photographer and his studio was excellent. He took about 75 photos in less than one hour and he helped me select the top 2 out of these. Over the next few days he digitally touched up the photos and then issued them to me.
The final photos were excellent and I have received many comments after updating the profile pictures on my social media accounts"
