Photo Upload Guidelines: What to Avoid

To ensure your photo is processed quickly and looks its best, please avoid these common photography pitfalls. A high-quality upload helps us identify your champion and maintain the professional look of the FanBoard.

Issue Why it's a Problem
Blurry or Out of Focus Details are lost, making it difficult to see the subject clearly.
Poor Exposure Photos that are too dark (underexposed) or too bright (overexposed) hide your features.
Heavy Backlighting Avoid standing directly in front of a bright light source (like a window), which creates a "silhouette" effect.
Low Resolution Pixelated or "grainy" images look unprofessional and lose essential detail when scaled.
Bad Composition Subject should be centered. Avoid "cutting off" the subject or placing them too far to one side.
Cluttered Backgrounds A busy background with other people or equipment makes it hard to distinguish the subject.
