A full body shot from the knee up facing the camera is required (your shoulders should not be angled for the picture). Our web designer will process submitted photos to remove backgrounds and create the appropriate size needed for our website. A clear background is recommended (white is optimal) to ensure proper extraction of the subject.
GET AN ASSISTANT TO HELP YOU
Enlist the assistance of another individual to capture your photograph, avoiding the use of selfies. A contemporary smartphone is comparable to a DSLR camera for this task. Prior to taking the photograph, ensure the camera lens is clean to achieve the highest digital clarity.
The photographs required must adhere to the specifications outlined above, specifically a full body shot. This is crucial for our web developer to ensure consistent sizing and uniformity across all submissions.
Portrait photographs that are cropped at the shoulders, as illustrated below, will not be accepted. Submitters will be required to provide a new image that meets the specified criteria.
STANDING PHOTO IMPORTANCE
Photographs taken from the knee up are useful for more than just portrait headshots. SCPS Executive committee and CCPS Council members have individual profile pages with standing photos. Our web developer will crop your standing photos as necessary for various purposes. If an assistant is unavailable please use the time feature on your device to ensure optimal results.
DO NOT COMPRESS YOUR PHOTO
It is essential to submit your photograph in its original resolution, without any compression. This requirement ensures that the image retains its quality and clarity, which is vital for optimal display on high-resolution screens across various devices.
The submission form below should be used by those invited to submit photographs for our website. This includes executive SCPS committee members CCPS Council members and guest speakers.
