Hello and thanks for the link...actually I am not in the need of a profile pic it is more the other way round.I was curious to see examples of pics you make cause they seem very expensive to me...as I am doing pics myself I wonder If I could make the same money you seem to make with this...could you tell me If my pics are the same worth? Here are examples of my work:)

You really would help me a lot with your opinion thanks:

Hi Sonja,

Layering effects over images is easy to achieve. If my clients want extra visuals on their profile pictures, I can provide it. However, the main focus of my service is on high quality frontal close-ups; a clear face-shot at a good angle with even tones, clean lines, and appealing even when in small thumbnail form on forums or in chat. The focus of this service is on clear, quality, square profile pictures focussing on the avatar beauty and not drowning it out with excessive filtering and attention-stealing backgrounds. 

If you pay close attention to the example images on the marketplace listing, you'll find that the angle and quality is quite different from the usual avatar face close-up. I have a very special technique to get in that close and still keep a great visual. I'm a graphic designer by profession in the real world and I use my skills for quality post-production clean-up to ensure even tones, even-out hard-edges and improve natural color quality etc. If the client wants a flasy background, filter, or graphic effect in the image; that can easily be added. But I find that my clients are generally very satisfied with the quality and clarity of the more "plain" close-ups that look great as a profile picture even as small thumbnails in chat.

The pictures you've shared here are great and you can certainly charge more for them, however, they do not fall into the exact same category and specifications as the service that I'm offering. Your images would make great framed wall peices or virtual album entries, while mine, on the other hand, would look plain and boring on a wall but look great as an avatar profile picture, for example.

I'll probably set up another service soon where I focus more on scenic backdrop and effect-based photography, but the procedure and pricing for that would be quite different from the Profile Picture Photography service.

Thanks for sharing your work and keep taking awesome pictures!
