Helpful tips for winning photos


Photo TipsClothing
  • Wear the same type of clothing in the "before" and "after" photos
  • Male: Form-fitting shorts are preferred
  • Female: 2-piece bathing suit is preferred
  • Remember that if you are covering up parts of your body it will be difficult to show your progress
  • Do not cover your legs with long shorts or "cut" them out of the photo
Photos
  • Book your after photos with a photographer now. This will help you stay committed and focused.
  • Try to get the highest quality photos you can. Consider having a professional take your photos in a studio, it really does not cost that much money and could be well worth it. Remember, this is the only way the Body-for-LIFE judges can see your transformation. Good, clear, high quality photos are essential. If you do use a digital camera the photos must be professionally developed. A good 35mm is also a great choice. Please note, the Body-for-LIFE judges do not recommend disposable cameras or Polaroid's. These types of cameras do not always reflect what you physically achieved during your transformation. Again, good, clear high quality photos are essential. Please submit 3x5 or 4x6 photos.
  • Try taking them outside in either the morning or the late evening (when the sun is low) as the light is generally better for photos at that time.
  • Take your photos against a plain background.
  • Please stand with your arms at your sides in the photos—no posing please (one front photo and one back photo).
  • Please include your whole body, from head to toe.
  • Try to fill the photograph with yourself. If you stand too far away it may be hard to see your great results.
  • Copyrighted photos will not be accepted unless signed release of use to EAS from the photographer is attached to the packet. All photos become the property of EAS and will not be returned. Please have duplicates made and keep a copy of these photos. Do not send in negatives—please hang on to them and do not lose them. Your photos may be used by EAS to promote its business even if you are not selected as Champion.
