Photo tips

What makes a good photo

Thread has no colour. Contrast does all the work.

A couple in strong side light, with clear bright and shadowed areas

good example

Strong light and shadow

Side light and clear dark areas give the thread something to build.

Two people filling the frame against open sea, with nothing competing behind them

good example

One clear subject

A face, a building, an animal. Busy backgrounds turn to noise.

The same photograph under a heavy warm filter and soft focus, which buries the tonal range the thread needs

avoid

Skip heavy filters

Flat, hazy or over-edited photos lose the detail we need.

The same photograph sent as a compressed screenshot, blocky and smeared with no fine detail left

avoid

Send the original file

Minimum 1500 px wide. Screenshots and chat exports are too small.

We tell you before you pay, and suggest what to change. You can upload as many photos as you like.
Who owns the photo I upload?
