Photo Tips

Make sure you attach at least 5 photos. These should be in landscape format (horizontal), at least 350 pixels x 350 pixels. Make sure that your photos are a good true representation of yourself, as this helps to sell your services.

Here are some tips on the type of photos we want:-

1. Offer a variety. The best photos are from waist upwards.
2. No sunglasses. This hides your eyes, and most of your face.
3. Avoid being a spot on a landscape. Remember the guest wants to see what you look like.
4. Do not have other people in the photo. The photo is all about yourself, not anybody else.
5. If you have transport, take a photo of this with you next to it.
6. Activity photos tend to be more interesting than straight posing shots. For example including photos of yourself in your normal work place, or doing a specific hobby or activity, can work well.
7. Avoid “silly” photos. These may be funny to you, but the guest may not share your style of humour.
