There are many reasons. Here are 5 of them: 👇

😒 They Don’t Like Being Photographed,

and consider any lucky snapshot where their face is visible as the best they can get in this life. They dislike the process of being photographed and settle for using that snapshot across social media indefinitely.

👨‍🎓 A Prom Headshot Never Gets Old!

Just like their inner perception of themselves. Even in their middle age, they still have the spirit of a 17-year-old! Well, that’s not exactly what they see in the mirror every morning, and it’s probably not what others see either — but who cares, right? Everybody around do the same (and by the way, don't think it's not about you if your headshot is "only" 10 years old 😉 )

🙅 They Don’t See the Need.

“If life is good and business is okay, why bother changing anything?” they think. "What we do is the focus — not how we present ourselves, right?" For some reason, they always want to choose just one, even though these days, having both isn't enough!

😱 They Think It’s Expensive.

Headshot sessions are often viewed as a one-time expense rather than an investment. People who take this approach usually opt for a cheaper photographer, end up with mediocre results, realize their mistake, and — you guessed it — pay double for another session to fix it. And by the way – based on my observations, most of them didn’t even try!

😱😱😱 They Struggle to Find the Right Photographer.

For those who want to avoid paying twice, finding the right photographer can feel overwhelming. It’s not just about money — it’s about investing time to find someone who delivers a headshot you love and one that works for you professionally.

Well, these 5 reasons are enough to explain why 99% of attention chasers end up with a mediocre online presence — or none at all.

And when I say "they", I’m assuming you’re in the top 1%, but… take a look at your profile picture right now. There’s a tiny 99% chance you need to update it 😏
