Application Tips

FAQs

What happens to my photos?

We never share or publish your photos. When you upload photos, they are sent over to our server with 2 layers of encryption, stored on a secure disk, and are accessible only by the people who review your application. They are used only to evaluate your application and verify your identity. We require an additional authorization from you to be able to use them in your portfolio, should you wish. These photos (along with all other records we have of you) will be deleted upon your request.

Are all the photos required?

We highly recommend you submit every photo we request. There are four that are not strictly required: the two full body undergarment photos and the two optional additional photos. We like the undergarment photos as they enable us to use them internally when full nudity is not required. If you choose not to submit the undergarment photos, we will use the nude photos until the intro appointment. The optional additional photos are a way to differentiate yourself. You can show off a special talent, your favorite part of your body, or really anything you would like. Of course, you may submit without them if you would prefer.

How should I dress?

As you normally would. Dress and groom as you typically would, this is not supposed to be production quality.

I only have a phone camera, is that okay?

Absolutely. Most application photos are taken by the applicant on their phone, and we have no expectation of studio-quality products. Please read the General Tips section.

Should I edit the photos?

Do not edit the photos. This means no cropping, filtering, color grading, or anything else. We know this is a homemade photograph, you do not need to look perfect.

There is someone else in one of my photos, what do I do?

You may not submit any photos that have other people in it, even if the other people are fully clothed. Please take a new photo.

General Tips

Setup

• Make sure you have good lighting. Bad lighting can ruin a photo incredibly easily.
• If you are taking the photos yourself, have a mirror nearby.
• If you have one, put your phone on a tripod and use the remote to press the shutter button.
• Try to find a neutral background to take the photos against.

Shooting

• Read the photo prompt and follow it. Do not cover parts of your body.
• Try to relax as much as you can.
• Take multiple of each angle.

Finishing Up

• Pick the photo from each angle that you like the best.
• Send the images to your computer, and ensure they are in a standard format.
• Upload each image from your computer onto the form, ensuring you are adding the right image under each blank.
