Even if your Facebook account is private, anyone in the world can view your profile photo. Naturally, you don't want to embarrass yourself and want to look as good as possible in the picture. The only question is: how do you take the best possible profile photo of yourself? Here are a few tips that can improve your picture and show you from your best side without you having to spend a lot of time editing the photo.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; margin: 0px;\">Choose the background for your photo. The background takes up a large part of the picture and gives the picture a certain atmosphere. Famous monuments, landscapes or important events are popular backgrounds for profile photos. Avoid photos where your bedroom, workplace or kitchen can be seen in the background. Outdoor pictures are also better exposed, as you don't need a flash that casts unfavourable shadows. If you are only interested in your face, choose a simple landscape with a green meadow and blue sky. As few intricate details as possible should distract from your profile in the background.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; margin: 0px;\">Everyone has a \"best side\". Photographers say the best pose for most people is to tilt the face so that about 60% are predominantly visible. This makes the face look slimmer and more three-dimensional. Frontal shots are usually unfavourable because almost all faces are not symmetrical. If the head is tilted slightly, the asymmetry is concealed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; margin: 0px;\">Good exposure can also hide small blemishes, while poor exposure emphasises facial wrinkles and contours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; margin: 0px;\">Relax. Don't rest your hands at your sides, as this will make you look stiff and unnatural. If you don't know where to put your hands, pose with a friend or a pet. Or occupy your hands with an object, but in the most natural way possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; margin: 0px;\">Shiny facial skin reflects light from the surroundings and therefore looks unfavourable. Put on a little powder so that your face doesn't shine. Guys should also feel free to use face powder as long as it looks natural and matches their skin tone. A powdered face looks finer and fresher in photos and conceals small imperfections in the skin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; margin: 0px;\">\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; margin: 0px;\">Experiment with the camera. Try out different poses and lighting and choose your best photo afterwards. Don't forget to delete unsuccessful photos! The main criterion for a profile photo is what the photo says about you. Many of your friends have not seen you for years and read a lot of information about your life in your profile photo. What do you want to tell your friend? If it is important for them to know that you are in a relationship, then pose with your partner. Or maybe you've just returned from travelling the world and want everyone to see you next to the Taj Mahal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; margin: 0px;\">\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; margin: 0px;\">Group photos are often well suited because they make you look more relaxed and natural. If there are several people in the picture, you feel less \"presented\" because you are not the main subject of the picture. If you have a nice group photo in which you look particularly good, you can crop the photo so that only you are in the picture. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; margin: 0px;\">\n<p style=\"font: normal normal normal 12px\/normal Verdana; margin: 0px;\">Many people dismiss having a good profile photo as superficial. However, not only friends see your photo, but also work colleagues, superiors or future landlords. The more effort you make to show a good profile photo reflects your own esteem and reputation. A photo alone is very revealing in terms of character traits, attitude to life and manners. Many landlords or employers search for an applicant's name on Facebook, for example, to get an idea of the person.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Profilfotos werden auf Social Network Websites wie Stayfriends, LinkedIn oder Facebook von unz\u00e4hligen Menschen gesehen.
