Photo Submission Guide

Photo Guide

Photos will account for much of the space within your story. We recommend sending various high-resolution images for the best appearance in the layout.

Because of the national scope of our business, we do not provide a photographer or photographer recommendations.

What kinds of photos should I send?

We recommend sending approximately 8-10 images, including:

  • Portraits/headshots of yourself
  • Photos of your team or pictures from work events
  • Photos that showcase your company (such as the lobby, reception area, company signage or your office)
  • Project/worksite photos, if applicable
  • Product photos.
  • Recreational/hobby photos
  • Family photos

Please include a horizontally formatted portrait if possible. A “zoomed out” horizontal shot is also recommended.

What are the required specs?

The following details indicate that the photo is high resolution. Any combination of these will ensure the best quality and clarity:

  • 1MB (1000 KB) or larger
  • 2000×2000 pixels or larger
  • 300 ppi

Images saved off a website are typically low resolution (too small or too pixelated), and horizontal photos are preferred.

Accepted filetypes:

  • JPEG
  • TIFF
  • PNG
  • CR2

Additionally, modern cell phone cameras take great pictures, and we have had great feedback with using pictures from iPhones and other devices.

You can set up some portraits independently—though that isn’t required. Our design team is happy to do the post-editing to polish up the pictures for the layout.

If you have a marketing department with access to company images, please connect them with us. We can also supplement your story with stock photos from our expansive library.

How do I send my photos?

For best results, please submit photos to our upload page. If needed, send them as email attachments or using any other platform. Please ensure that you provide access to Dropbox, if necessary.

For pictures from your cell phone, we recommend sending them directly from the phone to our upload page to avoid email compression and retain maximum quality.

Do you need captions?

Captions are optional. If you want captions or photo credits included, please send that information along with your photo submission to jason@wearetrueline.com.
