Step 3: The quality of your entry photo is key to your success! Here are 3 easy steps to make sure your talent shines through.  

 #PROtips:  

  1. Plan: Make sure your model and work are the focal point of the image. If you are taking a photo on your phone, solid backgrounds with natural or ring lighting look best. 

  1. Shoot: Take several photos from various angles! This way, you’ll have multiple options to choose from when you submit your final shot!  

  1. Crop: Because your work will be entered via Instagram, we recommend shooting in portrait (4:5) or square (1:1) for the best visual appearance on the app.
