For a photographer, your LinkedIn banner is the easiest win on your entire profile — a wide, cinematic frame that can showcase your eye the instant someone arrives. Few professionals have a better reason to use a custom header, because a single strong image tells clients exactly what you can do. Choose a photograph that represents your style and strength, composed so it reads well in a panoramic strip and leaves your profile photo legible. Whether you shoot portraits, weddings, commercial, editorial, or landscapes, the banner should feel unmistakably like your work. Reviewers and clients judge photographers on a glance, so let that glance be one of your best images. Every option on this page is sized to LinkedIn’s exact 1584×396px banner area, so it uploads crisp and full-bleed with no awkward cropping over your profile photo.
