Tips for Choosing Your Photo
When selecting a photo, keep these tips in mind to ensure the best results:
Natural Light is Best: Choose a photo taken in natural light, without a flash. These photos tend to be clearer and more flattering.
Focus on the Face: Since the photos will appear relatively small, make sure the image clearly shows the individual’s face with minimal shadows.
High Resolution is Key: Photos from are often too small for our use, even if they look good on your screen. For sharp results on the website, your image needs to be high resolution.
Minimum Photo Size: Your photo should be at least 1,000 pixels on its shortest side. Most digital cameras and even some smartphones, when set to a medium resolution, can produce suitable images.
Allow for Cropping: We can crop your photo if needed. To allow for flattering cropping, pick an image that has enough background space around the individual’s face.
Attachment size is limited to 3mb.
