CREATE YOUR OWN PROFILE PICTURE

For the most creative there is always the option to create your own profile picture.

Especially if you want something more personal, a message, a photograph of yourself with a special frame or anything else you can think of.

Limitations, those that your imagination puts you.

Tools, I leave you with these:

  • canvas
  • Adobe

    • With both you can do a lot of things and achieve very cool profile photos. Here are some examples of what you can do with Adobe.

    Adobe is paid, but perhaps you already have the subscription or are thinking of signing up.

    Canva, however, although it has a paid version, it is free.

    Also, it has a lot of templates that you can use if you don't want to start from scratch (which you can too).

    These are just a few examples of what you can do very quickly and easily with Canva.

    HOW TO TAKE A PROFILE PICTURE

    HOW TO TAKE A PROFILE PICTURE

    Let's now see the most photographic;part of this entire article:;how to take profile;photos, be they profile photos for WhatsApp, Instagram, Tik Tok or whatever social network.

    The first thing is to know what you want to transmit. For that, start by answering these questions:

  • Is it a photo for a personal or professional profile?
  • What image do you want to give?;Aggressive, tender, fresh, friendly, mysterious, interesting...
  • Do you want a creative or more formal photo?
  • Is it convenient for you to put the same photo on all social networks? Do you want to count the same?
  • Do you want it to look like a selfie or are you going to do a more conscientious portrait or self-portrait?

    • Once you have it clear, let's take action.;Here are my;tips for taking a profile picture:

  • It is important that your face stands out from the background.
  • Find good lighting.;Outside, near a window, with a spotlight, whatever lights your face well.;If you want a more dramatic or impactful portrait, try hard light.;If you want more even lighting, go for soft light.;Ring lights are very flattering for portraits.
    • In the reflection of the eyes you can see that it is made with a ring of light
    Forget about the law of the gaze and those other rules we talked about in portrait composition, here you have to be in the center and leave some space around. Remember that the profile photos of Instagram, Whatsapp and most (if not all) social networks are round, so a good part is cropped. The background is very important, it should not be distracting or confusing. Look for plain backgrounds or ones that help you convey a message without getting in the way. Colors help arouse emotions . Help yourself with the color of the clothing and the background to reinforce your message. Look at these three images of the same person, don't they give you very different feelings?
  • Body;language;also tells a lot about you. Don't neglect it.
  • Better without company. And I am not referring to the help when taking the photo, but to who appears in it.;If you are looking for a letter of introduction, friends, family or pets are plenty.They can be confusing, distracting, or not let your face show through.
  • If you want a creative portrait you can resort to low key, shadows, hard light or cheerful and fun colors.
  • For a more formal portrait, use neutral colors and plain backgrounds.
  • If you want to transmit confidence, a soft light and warm tones will help you.
    • Soft light, neutral colors and warm tones
    Shades
    Neutral tones and solid backgrounds
  • In the event that you do not have help when it comes to pressing the shutter, follow these;tips to take self-portraits;.
  • Hints.Maybe you don't want to show your face for whatever reason.;There are many ways to make a portrait without showing your face.;With your head down, on your back, a silhouette in profile, your hands, from your neck to your waist, holding an object that represents you, etc.
  • If you have no choice but to;take a selfie with your mobile;for your profile photos, be sure to read the tips that I leave you in the link. You will achieve the best results!
  • In addition to all this, it may help you to read the following article, to avoid the most common mistakes in portraits for social networks.

    • If you feel like delving into portrait photography, we have this mega guide with tips, tricks, and recommendations for the best portraits.
