How do I take a good profile pic?

I’m on an app that my REAL LIFE (not online) singles group uses. I want to start a conversation with a certain girl on there but I want her to be able to put a face to the name. Not just that default grey silhouette.

Problem is, I’m self conscious about every pic I take of myself. I think I look dumb no matter what lol.

Ask someone else to take some photos of you. The angle options of self-shot photos are limited, and it’s difficult to assess lighting. Let someone else help you and you can get more diverse shots that aren’t all face closeups. It also lets you focus on stand still, look pretty while they move around to find angles and lighting.

You can also ask they take a few candid or action shots, which people usually prefer to posed shots of themselves.
