Did you know that photography can help to improve your social life? Well, it can! By using a stylish Facebook profile photograph you can attract new friends, impress people, appear to be a cool/happening person and generally improve your web presence. I don't understand Facebook as I'm too old and not very 'with-it' but I understand it's popular with young people and the 'in' thing to do. I came across a site that had a feature called '101 Self-portrait ideas to spice up your Facebook profile' which basically featured 101 photos by various people and I've done you a favour by picking some of the ones I thought were most creative. A lot of the photographs were what you might call 'glamorous' or 'beauty shots', that is sexy looking women and hunky, rugged looking men but I was more interested in the quirky or unusual ones. It's interesting seeing how peoples different personalities come through in the photographs. I've put a slide show below of the 'best' ones. The link to the feature is here - http://photodoto.com/101-extraordinary-self-portrait/ if you want to look at all 101 of the photos. Some of them make clever use of Photoshop and they may give you some ideas for self portraits, it could be a good mini project as well as updating your Facebook profile picture. Comments are closed.
