Got a job with a small youth media team, and as part of the gig I have to submit a profile photo with a few sentences about me. It's nothing complicated, but I don't quite feel inspired enough to get a good idea on what to do or which direction to take.

How do your profile photos for work look like, and if you don't have one, how would they?

VERY nice, Jay! I like how you're cradling that big guy. :)

Here's mine:

I have a handful of creative self-portraits, and I change them up depending on who's looking. My two recent favorites:

Ohh, so they're usually just against a solid background? I don't have a lot of studio gear except for some home depot clamp lights and a solid white drape.

Would some kind of shot in a park be good enough? There's no real difference between a profile shot and portrait, is there?
