Nicley done, Chris! Just last week I had the opportunity to have some new photos taken for the websites and other things at Big Seminar by Mary at SeminarPhotography.com and we did these exact tips and more… Thanks for the confirmation, and for the wide variety of tips your offer on this blog.

Chris, I was just wondering how many inches of chest hair I should show to improve my click thru rate? I’ve heard there’s a point of diminishing returns where my CTR will drop. Seriously, thanks. I never noticed that about what direction people face on camera. It’s amazing how much I learn just in these blogs. Thanks, Comment provided October 11, 2007 at 1:12 pm

I’ve heard that chest hair on men improves CTR but having a hairy back can dramatically reduce CTR and increase complaints. ;—-) Comment provided October 11, 2007 at 1:21 pm

Hi Chris! Thank you for reminding me of that! I just updated my photo! I guess the new one is somehow according to your directions… only by chance, because I didn’t know what you told us today. Comment provided October 11, 2007 at 3:57 pm

It is also a great idea to schedule taking your new photos after a spa day or leisure vacation so you look more refreshed. :) I took my most recent publicity photo just moments after a national tv interview so my energy was high, and my hair and makeup was professionally done. Thank you for the tips! Live Your Dreams, Jill Comment provided October 11, 2007 at 8:45 pm

Jill, Rarely do I think a professional photo should show your back to the camera, but this photo of yours captures the emotional essence of your message: And if you don’t use it for your articles, I’d recommend the continued use for your MySpace/Facebook, etc. profiles. It’s an unforgettable image. Comment provided October 12, 2007 at 7:56 am

I agree that this photo says it all! It is worth a 1,000 words indeed. Comment provided October 22, 2007 at 1:00 am

Yes Ken, I agree the clean shaven look is better for the photo… I’ll be getting new professional photos taken in Jan 08. Comment provided December 20, 2007 at 9:50 am
