Today we’re going to get all up in your face (pardon the pun) with todays update. The full size photo utilized in a website design has generally been reserved for celebrities or photography websites, but these freelancers have broken the mold and put themselves front and center.
Some of the sites below only show the freelancers face while others are full length photos added to the site in creative ways. They always talk about designers being rockstars, so maybe adding your face to your site like a celebrity is the right move? ha
Either way, these portfolio designs are all great and integrate their portraits perfectly in each example below.

What was your favorite?
What do you think was the best one from the bunch above? And do you think that the full size portraits in designs will come back or should they be left for photography websites?

Thanks for featuring! My site’s layout, however, is not anymore the same as in the thumbnail you’ve provided :] If you can change that, great!
Cheers,
Jussi
