Before Photos

Before photos are due by the end of the month. I know there are a few of you left who still need theirs taken. Below you will find instructions on how to do so yourself. You can either take the photos on your own, or have Will or Katy take them at the gym.

The “before” photo set consists of three photos, illustrated below. Each photo requires a solid white backdrop (wall, sheet or curtain). Your entire person needs to be within the frame of the photo (head to toe), and must fill the entire frame (no shots from 1,000 feet away). The photos must be taken at a minimum resolution of 2100 pixels tall by 1500 pixels wide in portrait orientation (long side up).

The dress code for the photos is as follows: Men: board shorts/gym shorts, no shirt. Ladies: sports bra and biker/yoga/compression shorts.

Please send your photos directly to Will, following the naming convention: <last_name>_<first_name>_before_<photo_number>.jpg (e.g. smith_joe_before_1.jpg).
