Don't Use a Photo Wearing Goggles as Your Profile Photo of a Professional Page

By Debesh Choudhury | Writing and Life | 19 Oct 2023


It doesn't matter on ReadCash or in any other blogging platforms what profile photo you use.

  • You can use any user name and any profile photo.

  • Your profile photo or avatar can be anything, yes anything.

  • It can be a meme, a cartoon model, or your real face photo.

  • It doesn't matter what is displayed in your profile space.

But, I feel that a profile avatar or photo matters even on ReadCash, Publish0x, Discord, X/Twitter, and of course on LinkedIn.


 

As a professional human being, a profile photo matters.

If you want to project yourself as a professional human being, then your profile photo matters.

  • I have noticed that some people use their face images with sunglasses or goggles.

Do you know that you harm your personal brand image as a professional by using a profile photo wearing goggles or sunglasses?

  • Don't self-sabotage your LinkedIn profile. Use your un-goggled face photo in the profile.

  • Remind your close friends and colleagues not to use a profile photo with sunglasses or a goggle.

Try to intimate your community that a normally shot headshot serves the best as a professional than using an artificially ornamented photo.




An actor or a movie star may think otherwise.

  • A celebrity from the movie world or fashion industry may use profile photos with sunglasses and colored goggles.

  • People with visually impaired or diseased eyes may find it comfortable to use sunglasses or goggles in their profile photos.

Have you seen pictures of Helen Keller with a goggle or sunglasses?

I don't remember. If you find one, let me know.

Helen Keller wore a unique personal brand image without any sunglass or goggle.


 

Conclusion

  • Don't use photos with sunglasses or goggles as the profile photo of a professional page, such as LinkedIn.
  • It may harm your personal brand image as a professional.

Always try using a clear headshot without any sunglasses or goggles as the profile photo.
