The League Photo Tips: 6 Shots That Survive the Human & AI Screen
Beat both the AI clarity filter and the human review panel with these high-resolution, high-status visuals.
Photos are screened for resolution, diversity, and LinkedIn congruence. One mismatch and you’re auto-wait-listed. Here’s the sequence that passes both bots and humans.
#1Photo 1: The Executive Portrait
Use a 45° shoulder-angle shot, f/2.8 aperture, against a de-cluttered background. Wear a solid mid-tone shirt (navy/dusty rose) to contrast the League black interface. Resolution 1440×1440 px minimum to avoid the AI blur flag.
#2Photo 4: The Passion Pivot
Show a hobby that costs money but isn’t obnoxious: rowing, fencing, or wine blending. The review panel scores "passion" photos higher when they signal exclusivity without vanity—skip Lamborghinis, keep the vintage Single-Fin surfboard.
#3Key Takeaways
- Upload square format only—rectangles get cropped and can hide your face
- Include one winter shot to prove recency and year-round social life
- No sunglasses in more than one photo or human reviewers flag "low trust"
