Photo instructions

The media loves photos. Including a photo with your press release can increase the likelihood of media coverage. Follow these tips to ensure your headshot is clear and professional.

Do

Dress in professional attire
Make sure the photo is of the highest resolution possible to ensure clear reproduction when printed
Stand before a neutral background with proper lighting
Consider a professional headshot

Don't

Crop or cut out photos from a group photo; they do not reproduce well and will appear grainy and unclear
Wear hats and/or sunglasses
Wear stripes, polka dots, or plaids as these patterns result in poor quality photos when reproduced
Use selfies
