I’m a professional headshot photographer in Brussels, here is a description of the LinkedIn profile sessions I provide.
- Alexis Strader 22/06/2024I hired David for a LinkedIn portrait photo shoot. David was extremely kind and professional. He put me at ease during the session and listened to any requests I had. We worked together to take the best photos possible. Scheduling was very easy as he responded to my emails right away. I also liked that his pricing is on the website - that way we didn't have to negotiate (which can be awkward). I would highly recommend him.Lire la suiteLire moinsEsther Wauters 28/10/2021I had the chance to collaborate on several projects with David Sdika and I can objectively (I have over 20 years of experience in the domain as a makeup artist) and happily confirm that it is always a superb and strong experience, with remarkable results, as much from a human point of view as a professionally one. David makes the people feel at ease and comfortable, and is fantastic in communication. His eye for capturing the magic in photography is simply unique and is a real reflection coming from his passion for the arts, his creative mind, his empathy, his positive spirit and his brilliant ideas. If you are looking for a magical recipe for marvelous images, I would simply ask David, knowing the results will be way above expectations !Lire la suiteLire moins
- Melissa Guennewig 22/05/2024David is a very kind and attentive person. He made me feel very confident and comfortable from the first minute of the shoot. He took plenty of pictures, which I could check during the headshot session and adapt according to my preferences. He has a great eye for details. Since I needed the photos already the day after he made an extra effort and delivered already the next morning by 9 am. I'm 100% happy with the results. The pictures are beautiful and show the very best professional version of myself. Thank you, David!Lire la suiteLire moinsJuan Rojas 22/12/2024I had my first-ever professional portrait photoshoot with David and it was an excellent experience ! I did not know what to expect but from the first moment we met, David was very welcoming and kind which immediately put me at ease. The session itself was around two hours but it was a lot of fun while also fascinating to see the work and effort that he puts into his photography. I also had the privilege to have met David's wife during the session, which was also a very sweet moment as she helped me out in styling my hair and outfits while also giving her input on poses and expressions. The post-shoot communication was also extremely smooth and straightforward. The post-shoot communication was also extremely smooth and straightforward. Overall, it was a lovely introduction to these sort of photoshoots and while David was friendly and relaxed throughout, he was above-all very professional. Highly recommend !Lire la suiteLire moins
- Angelos Stratis 28/09/2023David is an exceptional professional photographer. When I arrived at his studio, we took some time to get to know each other and relax. His guidance during the photoshoot was invaluable and showcased his extensive experience in the field. I am really happy with the outcome. Thank you David!Lire la suiteLire moinsIana Nikitenko 22/12/2024Working with David for my portrait session was a great experience. He is professional and kind, and made the whole process very comfortable, taking the time to explain everything—from how the lighting was set up to how even the slightest changes in my facial expressions could impact the photos. The atmosphere in his studio was relaxed and welcoming, which helped me feel at ease. I also appreciated that he showed me the photos on his laptop during the session so I could make adjustments if needed (like fixing my hair). He encouraged me to try different outfits and never rushed me, letting me take my time to get the best results. After the shoot, David sent me all the photos on the same day so I could select my favorites. The edited high-resolution files were delivered the next day, which was impressively quick. I’m grateful for the professional and smooth experience and would recommend David to anyone looking for quality portraits!Lire la suiteLire moins

Frequently asked questions
... about LinkedIn profile pictures
Why is your LinkedIn profile picture so important ?
LinkedIn is an essential platform in the professional life.
Employees wishing to develop their career, freelancers looking for prospects…
All professionals have good reasons to be visible on a corporate network like LinkedIn.
But the first thing you see on a profile is the headshot !
The numerous scientific studies on the subject are unanimous and perfectly logical.
The more engaging your picture is, the better the impression a recruiter will have of you, even before having read your CV and the description of your skills.
Subconsciously, they will have a positive (or negative) opinion of you.
If your headshot shows your dynamism and professionalism, you are more likely to have your CV read and shared.
If your LinkedIn headshot is a selfie taken in the bathroom or a picture from a party with friends, the message sent is likely to be disastrous.
A professional LinkedIn portrait will never replace your education, experience, or soft skills. However, a solid resume with a blurry portrait picture will probably not be as effective as it could be !
Images, still or moving, are everywhere in our contemporary culture.
Give yourself every chance to be in the spotlight, bet on your professional image by calling on a LinkedIn photographer in Brussels.
What is a Headshot ?
The headshot is a type of photo defined by a ‘head and shoulders’ framing. It’s a fairly tight shot that focuses on the model’s face and attitude. This framing is very often used to illustrate yourself on professional social networks.
How much does a LinkedIn session cost?
The professional portrait session is priced at 180 euros (excluding VAT).
This price includes a one-hour session, access to a private gallery to select your images, professional retouching of three portraits of your choice, and delivery of your files in high definition.
Students and jobseekers benefit from a preferential rate.
Contact me for more details.
How should you dress for a LinkedIn profile photo ?
Choosing the right outfit for your profile photo is essential for making a positive first impression and reflecting your personality. The most important thing is to remain authentic: wear clothes that you feel comfortable in and that reflect your personal style. Authenticity is the key to a successful LinkedIn photo.
What can a professional photographer do for you ?
Anyone can, on occasion, take great pictures.
Sometimes it’s just luck of the draw, sometimes it’s a matter of having the right eye and the right timing.
The experienced photographer knows both the technique and the rules of composition.
He also knows how to get his model to pose in order to enhance his image during the corporate shoot.
In this way, he will reach the desired goal much more quickly and reliably than by groping around.
In short, he is a professional photographer !
Of course, the studio photographer knows the technical aspects.
He knows his camera, knows which focal length to use to obtain an optimal effect.
He also knows how to use artificial light, which is essential for creating perfect professional headshots. The studio equipment (flashes, softboxes, reflectors, plain background…) are all parameters that he masters.
If technique represents the foundation of a photographer’s know-how, the experienced photographer is best known for his or her ability to use this studio portrait technique to sublimate it.
Making a “successful” portrait is all about conveying emotion !
In the context of a LinkedIn profile headshot, the photographer seeks to evoke the dynamism and professionalism of the model.
Non-verbal communication is not taught at school.
The experienced corporate photographer knows how to read visuals, looks and smiles.
He will guide you to achieve your goal: a LinkedIn portrait photo that inspires confidence.
How are my services 'high end’ ?
I am a craftsman, and I do not work on a production line.
Therefore, I have chosen to offer high quality services to those I photograph.
I never do more than one session per day in order to focus on my model and understand her/his expectations.
Moreover, the headshot photo shoots are never limited in time, nor in the number of photos taken.
What matters is to get a perfect result that will satisfy my client.
The session usually lasts between 1 hour in the studio, and 50 to 100 photos are taken on this occasion. If necessary, several poses and outfits are tested.
Never before has a session lasted 4 hours…
However, as long as THE picture is not taken, the photo shoot continues!
The reason why my photography services are premium is also because, rather than quantity, I bet on quality.
The ‘professional portrait’ pack contains 3 high definition portraits, all of which are subtly retouched.
I will never deliver raw images, straight from the camera.
So, in order to obtain a high quality service, I make sure that everything is geared towards a qualitative result.
This includes the attention paid to the client, the time spent taking the photos and the time spent retouching them.
If you’re going to do something, you might as well do it with passion and rigour.
This is my professional philosophy.
This philosophy does not prevent me from being attentive to all my clients’ requests.
So, for companies with a tight budget who want to call on me for a headshot of their employees, I offer a headshot package.
This is limited to a single portrait delivered at attractive rates.
The headshot shoot is quicker than the corporate portrait package and includes only one outfit per session.
How do I define my style ?
As a photographer based in Brussels for the last 25 years, I’ve always concentrated on photojournalism.
The interest I’ve always had in candid moments is reflected in my studio work.
I always try to find a certain degree of truth and honesty.
I don’t ask my models to pose in ways that don’t suit them.
My work as a photographer focuses on capturing a natural attitude.
