I start with not my head and it's all gravy after that.

I am me - I prefer avatars that reflect the honesty of who you are

I’ve had a few avatars and even my own pic on profile but I’ve opted for my current avatar as it kinda says a lot about me

I use an avatar made by a New Zeeland artist named Jessie. "Back in the day" she created digital Tarot cards of us who were in the admin team on a TOOL fan site, basing the cards on the members opinions of our personalities. The one I'm using is a picture of me that she created into the tarot card "The Sun".
Any avatar I use is in some form symbolic and I want to bring layered revelations along with it.

I really enjoy using photos of myself as DU avis, so if I happen to take a selfie I think is cute I change my avi to it. idk why, but I feel more connected to the site that way, more open and myself 😋
So basically I just choose something which brings me comfort and joy

The actual face is always better. There are many reasons to hide :-))))))

When deciding on a headshot photo for your avatar, consider these key factors: choose a clear, high-quality image where you are the main focus, ensure good lighting, and maintain a neutral or friendly expression. Your attire should match the context in which the avatar will be used, such as professional for LinkedIn or casual for social media. In eCommerce photography https://nealschaffer.com/ecommerce-photography/ the same principles of clarity, lighting, and focus apply to product images. High-quality photos that accurately represent the product help build trust and attract customers, much like a good headshot does for personal branding.
