CAREER PURSUIT 2021

EXPERT ADVICE - SELF-EMPLOYMENT 32 SUMMARY So, there you have it. If all’s gone well, then you should be revelling in the success of creating your awesome LinkedIn headshot. Make sure you go and upload it. Or, if you want to have another go, you’ve now got the tools to be able to repeat, change, and edit a new image. Fancy a change, try some of my other suggestions. You can get a long way with some minor adjustments to what we’ve done above. If you’ve had a go at this, tag your pictures on Instagram and Facebook with #altoppingphotography and show us what you’ve been able to create; I’d love to see them. WHO AM I? My name’s Al Topping, owner of Xtreme Exposures Ltd and Al Topping Photos & Film. I’m a commissioned ex- Army veteran, reservist, and military spouse. I started my photographic career over ten years ago and have been taking images and videos of people, their businesses, and products since leaving the Army in 2019. Xtreme Exposures offers commercial product and branding photography as well as videography for the outdoor industry. Visit us at www.xtremeexposures.com or @XtremeExposures on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. For everything else, I have Al Topping Photos & Film. This is where you’ll find my wedding, corporate headshot, and product photography, as well as promotional videos I’ve created for schools around the UK.

You may find that you have to time your shot for a particular point of the day to get it right. If so, do it!
