LinkedIn profile photo shoot in Istanbul

A LinkedIn profile photo should show you as you are today, recognizable and suited to your professional role. At our Istanbul studio we produce LinkedIn photos and corporate headshots for experts, consultants, academics, lawyers, doctors, job-seeking professionals and company employees.

All photos are shared the next day in low resolution for selection; your selected finals are retouched and delivered for LinkedIn, your CV, the company team page and your email signature. For CEO, founder and board portraits, executive portrait photography is planned as a separate service.

An office setting can be used for LinkedIn profile photos that reflect a person’s professional context.

5/5 Google review

As a result of my research on the internet, I decided to have my headshot photos taken by trusting the comments, I am glad that I did, first of all, it is important for me to write the current prices on the site, I was able to learn the price information in a very short time, and then the process that started with the message of Ms. Duygu continued with the professionalism of Mr. Burak, with my entry into the studio. My ninety-minute shootings flowed like water in the way I wanted without getting bored, a studio that deserves the return of their efforts with their energy and services, I hope it will always continue like this.

Short answer

What should a LinkedIn profile photo look like?

A LinkedIn profile photo should be current, recognizable and of one person; the face should stay readable in a square file of 400 × 400 px or more even after the circular crop. The eyes are sharp, the expression fits the professional role, the background is simple and the light is controlled enough to show the shape of the face correctly.

Expression

Appropriate for your professional role

You wouldn't use the same expression for a consultant, an academic, an expert or a job seeker. Gaze and smile are directed according to the tone of communication you're aiming for.

Frame

Clear in the circular profile crop

The head, shoulders and surrounding space are planned together, so the LinkedIn crop doesn't squeeze the face and there is room for other platform ratios.

Delivery

Ready for your professional profile

The selected final versions can be prepared in the required formats for LinkedIn, a resume, a company team page, an email signature, and a speaker profile.

A professional profile portrait with a clean background.

A black-and-white headshot for a professional profile.

Natural expression appropriate for the speaker’s and expert’s profile.

Describe where your LinkedIn photo will be used

Tell us where you'll use it: LinkedIn, CV, company team page, email signature or speaker profile. We'll set the shoot scope and delivery formats together for an individual profile or an employee headshot day.

Technical Reference

What are the dimensions for LinkedIn profile and cover photos?

Your LinkedIn profile photo must be in JPG or PNG format, be less than 8 MB, and be between 400 × 400 px and 7680 × 4320 px. LinkedIn recommends a size of 1584 × 396 px for the personal profile cover photo. It may be cropped depending on the screen size.

Image type	Technical specification	Shoot and delivery notes
LinkedIn profile photo	400 × 400 px to 7680 × 4320 px; JPG or PNG; maximum 8 MB	The profile image is cropped into a circle. We frame the face, eyes, and shoulder line so they remain balanced within that crop.
Personal profile cover photo	1584 × 396 px is recommended; JPG or PNG; maximum 8 MB	Mobile and desktop cropping may vary. Important visual elements are kept away from the edges.
Company website and team page	Square, vertical, or horizontal JPEGs, depending on the web design	During the same session, photos can be taken with different margins for LinkedIn and the website.
Speaker and Expert Profile	High-resolution JPEGs and the required crop ratios	Wider framing options will be prepared for event announcements, expert profiles, and presentations.

The technical dimensions were checked again in July 2026 against LinkedIn’s profile photo upload guidelines and its cover image recommendations.

Shoot decisions

8 key decisions for a professional LinkedIn photo

01 · Timeliness

How you look today

Your profile photo should reflect your current appearance as it will be seen during an online interview or meeting.

02 · Clarity

A face that is legible in a small space

Low resolution, heavy compression, and motion blur make the face indistinct in the small profile area.

03 · Frame

Head and shoulder balance

In a very wide shot, the face appears smaller. In a very close-up shot, the circular crop compresses the head and shoulder line.

04 · Expression

A tone appropriate for your position

For academics, experts, job seekers, and consultants, eye contact, smiling, and body language are planned separately.

05 · Background

Solid or contextual background

Whether it’s a studio backdrop, an office setting, or a controlled location, the choice depends on the corporate tone of the profile.

06 · Clothing

A surface that looks clean on the screen

Solid colors work reliably. Very fine lines, small patterns, and shiny fabrics are checked before shooting.

07 · Light

Lighting that preserves facial form

The lighting is adjusted according to the person’s facial structure to keep their eyes looking bright and make their skin appear natural.

08 · Usage

Framing for several uses

During the shoot, we allow for the different margins needed for a LinkedIn circle, resume, team page, email signature, and speaker profile.

Perspective

The right lens and distance

Selfie distances can alter facial proportions. For portraits, we choose the shooting distance and lens together to create a more balanced perspective.

Recognition and Trust

The difference in representation between a real-life photo and an AI-generated headshot

LinkedIn wants your profile photo to reflect your likeness. If an AI headshot app changes your facial proportions, skin texture, hairline, clothing or expression, there can be a visible gap between your profile and the person people meet. In a professional shoot, light, expression and retouching are worked from your real appearance.

The True Face

Recognizable result

Retouching focuses on temporary skin details, color balance, and minor distracting elements without altering a person’s identity.

Live guidance

Expression is guided during the shoot

We direct shoulder angle, chin position, gaze and smile in real time during the shoot.

Corporate standard

Repeated throughout the team

The same approach to lighting, background, framing, and retouching can be applied to different subjects and maintained in subsequent shoots.

Planning, shooting, delivery

How do you plan a LinkedIn profile photo shoot?

A LinkedIn portrait session at LUX Production’s Istanbul studio has three stages: we agree on the intended uses and outfits, guide lighting and expression during the shoot, and retouch the final images you select from a low-resolution gallery shared the next day. We plan shoots for Berlin and Europe on a project basis.

Usage and Preparation

Requirements for LinkedIn, resumes, company team pages, email signatures, and speaker profiles are specified. Clothing, background, and framing options are determined accordingly.

Shooting and live checks

Posture, shoulder angle and expression are directed. Framing and focus are approved together during the shoot.

Selection, Retouching, and Delivery

All photos taken are shared in low resolution the next day for selection; the final selected shots are retouched and delivered.

Retouching and revision assurance: In tethered shooting, framing and focus are checked on set. The selection gallery gives you a decision point before delivery. Corrections for color, cleanup and format in the delivered files are part of the project.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about LinkedIn profile photo shoots

What should a LinkedIn profile photo look like?

A LinkedIn profile photo should be current, recognizable and of one person. The face shouldn't end up small in the circular crop; the eyes should be sharp, the expression suited to the role, the background simple and the light controlled. Shoots are run by an expert team with more than 10 years of portrait photography experience, led by Burak Bulut Yıldırım; posture, shoulder angle and expression are directed according to the tone the person wants to convey.

What are the dimensions for LinkedIn profile and cover photos?

Your LinkedIn profile photo must be in JPG or PNG format, smaller than 8 MB, and between 400 × 400 px and 7680 × 4320 px. The recommended size for a personal profile cover photo is 1584 × 396 px. Since cropping may vary depending on screen size, keep important visual elements away from the edges.

How is the price for a LinkedIn photo shoot determined?

Individual LinkedIn photography starts at 10,000 TL. The 60-minute Profile Update package includes 3 final photos for 10,000 TL; the 90-minute LinkedIn Profile Set includes 6 final photos for 15,000 TL; and the 120-minute Multi-Channel Professional Profile package includes 10 final photos for 22,000 TL. Your intended uses, number of outfits, location, and additional retouching needs determine the package.

What should I wear to my LinkedIn photo shoot?

Solid-colored shirts, jackets, blouses, or sweaters look clean in your LinkedIn profile photo. Very fine lines, busy patterns, and shiny fabrics can cause issues on camera. Prepare 2 or 3 options depending on the shot. If you wear glasses, you may want to bring a second pair to help control glare.

Are all the photos taken visible for selection?

Yes. All photos taken are shared the next day as a low-resolution gallery so you can make your selection. You’ll choose the shots that best suit your needs from this gallery. The final photos you select are retouched and delivered with the agreed-upon resolution and cropping options for use on LinkedIn, your resume, your company’s team page, your email signature, or your speaker profile.

How do retouching and revisions work?

Framing and focus are checked together on a tethered system during the shoot. In the finals you choose from the selection gallery, skin, color, clothing and small distracting details are adjusted while keeping a natural look. Corrections for color, cleanup and format in the delivered files are part of the project.

Can LinkedIn photos be taken for company employees that meet the same standards?

Yes. On the day of the employee headshot session, the lighting, background, eye level, framing, and retouching standards are standardized. For 4–7 people, the price is 8,500 TL per person; for 8–15 people, it is 7,000 TL per person. Company photo shoots for 15 or more people start at 65,000 TL. We prepare three retouched final photos for each employee and set up a portable studio in the office.

This page focuses on the Turkish-language LinkedIn profile photo service in Istanbul.
