Choosing the right headshot can be surprisingly stressful. High-resolution images and unretouched proofs expose every little detail, which can make anyone overly critical of their appearance. In today's video, I share why you shouldn't worry about the minor imperfections in your headshots and why zooming in too much can actually mislead you about how others see your photos.
Discover the truth about headshot proofs and learn how to select the best image that represents you authentically. I'll also explain the importance of viewing size and why a thumbnail might be more reflective of how your photo will be perceived in real-world applications like LinkedIn or company websites.
