Common mistakes

Using Legal Scholar for a partner bio because it looks “smart.” Clients hiring counsel want Attorney or Litigator, not a jacket-flap crop. The Legal trap is rim-lit turtleneck on a client-intake page. Also: a soft phone selfie with harsh overhead light will fight rim light lighting — start with a clean face-forward frame.

Shot notes

Rim light from behind, pensive still face. A smiling selfie will fight the pensive recipe. Aim for shoulder-up, eyes to camera, hair off the face. Legal Scholar steers toward pensive thoughtful with rim light. If the first result is close, refine wardrobe or background with a short edit prompt rather than regenerating from a worse selfie.
