Looking indirectly into the camera with body turned appropriate for a LinkedIn pic?

Bodybuilders often turn their hips perpendicular to the camera and twist so that their shoulders are parallel to the camera. This makes their hips and waist look smaller while making their shoulders look wider.

Also looking indirectly into the camera, showing primarily the left side of the face has been shown to display more emotion, and it has been shown to be more attractive.

Honestly, no one gives two shits about your linkedin photo. Just don't look like a fucking slob and you are good to go.
