Photos for Work

So my office is taking photos of us for our intranet site.  This annoys me to no end....they couldn't have waited another 25 pounds?  Ugh!  I still don't feel photo-ready.

Anyone have tips on making yourself look good in photographs when you still feel kind of cow-ish?

It's all about the attitude! If you feel sexy, you'll look sexy. It'll just show! Get some new clothes that makes you feel good!

I agree!

Makeup usually makes me feel better. :)

 

Mine did that as well last January 2012.   About 1 month ago I sent the gal in charge of the page a new photo and demanded that it be changed or removed all together.  She changed it.  I normally would not have cared but I am hoping to post for other positions when the freeze is released and i didn't want to be habitus-ly profiled by prospective department heads.  I did save the original and this is the comparison.  

I think you have every right to demand an updated photo be used if you wish.  It is kind of creepy stalker fare to post photos of workers anyway.  One of my co-workers refused to let them put hers up.

 

For me, it is all about a good hair day.

If the pics are in the afternoon, you could make a pamper lunch and have your hair done!

Also - totally agree on the outfit. Well fitting clothes, no big patterns, not white - washes you out. 

I always wear makeup.  I often don't wear lipstick - but always color up for photos!!

Chin tilt to the side slightly and look up toward the camera if possible.
