Equipment: Use a DSLR, digital camera or the latest iPhone to produce the highest quality photo possible. You can ask around your staff to borrow an iPhone or camera if needed.
Dress for Success: Keep dress as natural and professional as possible. Encourage solid colors. Avoid white tops, busy patterns, tank tops, and dangly jewelry which may be distracting.
Location: Pick a consistent location, ideally either against a solid wall or outdoors with some greenery in the distant background. Ensure there are no distractions in foreground or background. The subject should be taking up most of the frame.
Distance: Depending on the focal length of the camera, you want your subject to have enough room between them and the background to create separation.
Aspect Ratio: If you are using an iPhone, please ensure you are shooting vertical. If you are using a DSLR, please shoot 3:2 aspect ratio in camera.
Lighting: Do not take photos with the sun or bright light behind or above your subject. The best time of day is shortly after sunrise or shortly before sunset when the sun is low in the sky, or on an overcast day, so that there is no harsh light.
Positioning: Photos are more natural when people are not standing square to the camera. Angle the body a little and tilt or turn head toward the camera.
