Your online profile photo(s) is a great form of self-expression. Even if you’re not intentionally trying to communicate a message, the profile photo you choose is communicating one for you. It is powerful and selecting a photo is typically a subconscious thought process to most.

One could argue, what you choose as your profile photo, reveals what is most important to you. For example, some people utilize their profile photo for their: pets, kids, cars, hobbies — but essentially it’s something that illustrates “them” or “you”. It’s also one variable in the formula to your personal brand.

Yesterday, I updated my profile photo on Facebook and I wanted to share it with you. Last year, I took it upon myself to make a t-shirt on zazzle.com (great website btw) using our company logo. I’m proud of where I work and I wanted capture that in a photo. I posted it to flickr also.

FYI, this wonderful red backdrop in the photo is actually our kitchen. I was pleasantly surprised with the results, it was fun experimenting with my Canon 40D and this rich color as a background. I’m trying to get better at photography and add more to my photo portfolio.
