  • How to prepare your pictures

    1. Resize a copy of each image so that it is:

    • 2200px along the longest edge
    • in the sRGB color space
    • without watermarks, borders or signatures
    • with the EXIF data intact (if possible)
    • saved as a JPEG at maximum quality

    2. Rename each image in the following order:

    • category
    • first name
    • last name
    • a short picture title

    Separate each word with a hyphen so that it looks like this:

    animals-John-Smith-jumping spider
    or
    plants-Lucy-Jones-snowdrops in the snow
