Essential Tips
- PUT THE TEAM IN THE SHADE
Put the team/subject in a nice evenly shaded area for the best result. Don't worry about the background it will get removed.
- NO SHADE?
Take the photo with the team facing the sun.
So the sun is at the back of the photographer
- HAVE EVERYONE STANDING
people kneeling in the front does not look as good as everyone standing
- TAKE THE PHOTO BEFORE THE GAME
players and uniforms are fresh, no red faces or dirt
- PHOTOGRAPHER TAKE A KNEE
You want the team to be "dominant".
Be at the same level or lower than the team so the angle of the photo is straight on or looking up at the team. - TAKE PHOTO FROM THE MIDDLE SQUARE ON
-
TAKE 5 TO 10 PHOTOS
Someone will blink, look away, laugh or look funny.
By taking 5 to 10 photos you should
have 1 photo were everyone looks good. -
EMAIL THE PHOTO
Email the photo directly to us from the phone that took the original image.
No Shadows Is The Most Important Thing
Bad Light
The sun is to the right of the person taking the photo and
half the team is in the shadows.
Good Light
Everyone in the team
is well lit with no shadows.

15 Plus People In the Team
