Now Say "Cheese"...Or Should We Say "Career"

While taking a selfie may be easy in this day-and-age of camera phones, that may not always be the best way to capture a formal photograph for professional use . 

With all the places we can insert a picture of ourselves, wouldn't it be nice to have one of just you?  One that doesn't require cropping out your friends or family?

Even if you don't have the time or resources to use a professional photographer, you can still achieve the look by dressing your best and finding a simple background - think brick or plain wall.  Then test out the lighting (natural light always works) and enlist a friend who will be honest about how you look.  

Final tip...be sure to leave some space for cropping in later as each site cuts into a picture in a different way.
