Please review these guidelines or you will lose the opportunity to be part of the tester program:
IF YOU CANNOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS, OUTLINED BELOW, YOU WILL BE BILLED FOR THE FULL PRICE OF THE DROP(S).
We ask that you please treat as as you would treat your own clients. We are providing you a monetary discount in exchange for QUALITY photographs of our products.
1) Please provide *PROFESSIONAL* quality images. This means:
- Please provide properly lit images. No on-camera flash photography. Please have appropriate studio lighting (soft boxes, umbrellas, or a proper grasp on how to use natural lighting).
- Proper white balance.
- Sharp images, in focus, only.
*If you have a problem meeting that time frame due to an emergency email [email protected] immediately and we will be happy to help.
The turn around is approximately 3-10 business days (could be much sooner) from date of submission to the printer. The range in timing is based on volume of orders. We cannot guarantee the arrival of your tester backdrop shipment by a specific date and we cannot rush testers. We suggest that you do not schedule your model for their shoot until you know when your order is due to be delivered.
3) Please talk to your models prior to the shoot and come up with a plan of what the subject will wear to match the theme (ie. please don't just use anyone in random street clothes and have them stand-in "just to get us images on time"). We won't be able to use those images for advertising and you will need to reshoot.
Please note: that non-typical crops are okay to get the whole backdrop in the final image. We are not printing these images a portrait client would, so we don't need typical cropping. Please do not cut off the design in cropping.
- Please photograph the design horizontal if it is oriented horizontal.
- Please photograph the design vertical if it is oriented vertical.
- If the design is a texture or solid/semi-solid design you can photograph it whichever orientation you prefer.
8) If you are photographing a floordrop, please keep in mind that we cannot use the images to advertise if you pair our floordrop with another competitor's backdrop.
If you do not have one of our backdrops please photograph the floordrop in another manner such as: with a plain non-descript backdrop, with a solid color backdrop, with something such as sequins, or a plain pattern, photograph the floor planks as a backdrop, or from above showing as much of the floordrop as possible.
