Photo Guidelines
Please choose a photo that’s professional, clear, and recent. To help us maintain a consistent look across all speaker profiles, we ask that you follow these simple guidelines:
- Format: High-resolution JPG or PNG
- File name:
first_last_ru2026.jpgorfirst_last_ru2026.png(e.g.,alex_smith_ru2026.png) - Size: At least 1000 x 1000px
- Framing: Head, shoulders, and torso visible, with some space around you
- Lighting: Natural, flattering light (avoid harsh sun or dim indoor light)
- Style: Simple, professional photo — no filters, heavy editing, or stylized backgrounds. (We’ll handle any cropping or resizing for consistency.)
- Quality check: When zoomed in at 100%, your eye color and facial features should be crisp and in focus.
Tip: Ask a friend to snap a few photos of you in soft, flattering light—outdoors at dawn or dusk (the golden hour) or indoors with good natural light. Skip the selfies; close-up shots can distort. A clean, simple background works best.
We’ll make sure your photo displays beautifully—so keep it focused on just you, looking at the camera. Avoid action shots, group settings, pets, sports, or props. Think of it as a straightforward, polished portrait with a nice backdrop.
