What does your social media profile photo say about you?


The photo we use as our social media profile shot can say a lot about who we are -- sometimes more than we want to. Photo: 123rf.com

Obsessing over the train wreck that is Donald Trump’s twitter account (check it out at twitter.com/realDonaldTrump), I found myself staring at his profile photo.

In it he scowls at the camera, frowning, his eyes locked in a forced squint – forced squints are easy to recognise since I modelled for 20 years and used my fair share of them in that time – his face that famous orange colour, and thought to myself: Even in the photo he uses to represent himself, he doesn’t look like a nice guy. He looks, in fact, like someone who would ban large swathes of a religious group from entering his country.
