You may think you've got an old photo from your cousin's wedding lying around that will serve your LinkedIn profile just fine; until it crops above your sleeveless  dress and you look unclothed (oops!). Or you may think a selfie from your cell phone and a filter serves you; but be honest with yourself: you can see through those filters and they annoy you just a little when you're looking at someone else's.
