Photos

All pictures must be hi-res

At least three photos of you (include photo credit if applicable).

Considerations for your pictures:

  • Consider what look is “on brand” for you. You want to look like yourself as you typically show up. You want to look like the professional you are.
  • Bright, solid colors work best. Skip busy patterns, they distract from you.
  • Ensure the images have enough room for us to crop them.

Here are some examples of what we are looking for, and why . . . we may be using these images for media graphics (potentially magazine covers, book covers, etc.). The images must have space around them so we have room to add copy around them.

Head and shoulders

  • Color
  • Minimum of 300 dpi
  • Preferably 4 x 5 inches
  • Distration free background
  • Head and shoulders visible
  • Eyes looking directly to camera
  • No limbs extending outside the frame
  • Plenty of space all around you, plenty of room above your head

Upper body

Full body

Action shots — these pictures should be "on brand" for you. Such as: on stage, being interviewed, interviewing someone, working with a client, at your workplace, etc. Please include captions for context.

Other lifestyle images – Depending upon what is on brand for you, and the types of projects we are doing for you, we may also want additional images of you. These may include you receiving an award; presenting an award; being engaged in a hobby; at an event, perhaps a philanthropic or charity event; on holiday or vacation; at a retreat; at a community event, etc.

Examples of what we may create with your images:

If you're planning a photoshoot consider these tips:

  • Do not submit AI images.
  • Bright, solid colors work best. Skip the busy patterns.
  • Consider what look is "on brand" for you. You want to look like yourself as you typically show up. You want to look professional.
  • It is best not to have anything busy behind you. Solid walls or blurred out behind you is best for us work with. Out in nature can work nicely to.
  • Be sure the photographer does not provide images that are cropped to closely. We prefer the larger version. Allow us to crop it to size.
