Remote work is here to stay. But while you've perfected your WFH routine, your professional image might be stuck in 2019. Your Zoom thumbnail, Slack avatar, and LinkedIn photo all shape how colleagues and clients perceive you — even when you're in pajama pants.

Why Remote Workers Need Professional Photos More

In an office, people see you daily. They know you're competent regardless of your photo. Remote? Your headshot IS your first impression, every single time.

  • Zoom/Teams meetings show your avatar before you turn on camera
  • Slack profiles are how new teammates 'meet' you
  • Remote job applications are judged more by profile photos
  • LinkedIn networking is 100% visual for remote professionals

The Problem With DIY Home Photos

We've all tried: hold the phone up, find the best-lit corner, take 47 selfies and hate all of them. Home lighting is inconsistent, backgrounds are cluttered, and you end up using that same photo from 3 years ago.
