File name
Please use the following convention to name the files: givenname-familyname-designname-number.jpg e.g. anne-tate-cat-1.jpg
Composition
Please ensure that your work is the primary subject of the picture; it should be large and clearly visible.
Photography tips:
- Works are appreciated more when the model is looking directly into the camera.
- To get the most natural photos, try to hold the camera lens at the same height as the model’s eyes.
- Backgrounds can matter – try to get a clean, flat background.
- Try to ensure that there is enough ambient light – camera flash by itself is often not enough.
