Tips when taking photos

  • Use a neutral background, like a light colored wall or a plain sheet hung up as a backdrop.
  • Lights in the background cause glare.
  • Strong sunlight, artificial lights, and flashes cause shadows and glare
    • When shooting indoors, try to find a room with lots of natural light, but out of direct sun
    • When shooting outdoors, try to pick a slightly overcast day

Tips when sending / uploading photos

  • Full-size images are appreciated so that I can crop and/or people can zoom in for detail. 
  • Some email programs reduce the photo size when included inline with the text.  Depending on the email program, you may be able to specify them to be sent full-size.  Sending them as attachments is another option.
