Common "Before" Mistakes Toronto Pros Make

  • Expired selfies (average Toronto LinkedIn photo is 28 months old).

  • Inconsistent lighting/color across platforms.

  • No variety (one photo for everything).

  • AI fakes (spotted instantly by recruiters).

What Made These "Afters" Work

  • Custom shot lists (7 photo types per client).

  • Toronto location integration (skyline, urban chic).

  • Industry color psychology (blue=trust, black=authority).

  • Strategic distribution (LinkedIn first, IG grid next).
