Perfect Profile Pic?

[TrentVlogsTV]

How do some people take profile pictures that are super clear and professional looking? Any tips for lighting/editing? I want to take one that is super clear and bright that will pop out. Do you use a DSLR, Point and Shoot, or Iphone?

Preferrably DSLR, and the lightnings are optional, you must pick where the light source needs to be, if it's perfect editing isn't needed, if not, you can edit it at Photoshop, play and explore with the effects and filters in it and voila.

I used a GoPro for this; this is even before editing the pic because I am on my new computer so I have almost no other pics yet until I transfer my hard drive over. Once I get all my pics together should have some good pics...

I edit the crap out of my pics because I take them indoor they usually come out a weird orangeish color.. maybe ill go outside to get better lighting

I use Cyberlink Photodirector for my pics, I have turned some of my indoor pics with the orange color into normal looking pics pretty easily. There is a tool called white balance or something, you basically click something that is supposed to be white and it changes everything around it to look normal. It works pretty damn good actually. You can also do crazy s**t like this with the program in a matter of seconds
