Photo guidance
Uploading the right photos can be the difference between getting work and not getting work
The Four Main Photos:
You will need to upload a minimum of three photos, with a fourth being optional.
- Head and Shoulders photo
- Full-length photo
- Smart photo
- Any other photo of your choice (optional)
Additional Photos:
Once approved you can also upload over 50 different types of additional photos. Read more on which additional photos to upload: here
The important bit for all photos:
- Always upload the highest quality image you can
- Your image must be either PNG, GIF, JPG or JPEGs
- Your image must be over 100kb in size
- Your image should be portrait and not landscape
- Your photo should be recent and look like you
- All photos must be in colour, black and white photos will be rejected
Head and Shoulders example:

- Head and shoulders face on to the camera
- There should be no one else in the photo
- Don't wear a hat or sunglasses
- Don't be too close up
Full-length example:
- Head to knees, facing on to the camera
- There should be no one else in the photo
- You should not be too far away
- Think about what is in the background, neutral is better
Smart example:
ALWAYS:
- Select photos that are a true representation of yourself that have been taken within the last 6 months.
- Send the highest quality images you can get.
- Supply digital photos that are portrait in orientation NOT Landscape or square.
- Remember the photo should be about you not about the background.
- Always use colour photos, black and white photos will be rejected.
NEVER:
- Heavily edit digital photos or supply edited/cropped digital photos or scans of photos
- Send landscape or square photos.
- Send tiny photos. If below 500kb it won't be of high enough quality.
- Never use photos where you are wearing a hat or sunglasses.
- Social media filters are also banned. You pictures need to look as natural as possible.
- Never use photos with more than one person, it just needs to be you in the picture.
REMEMBER:
- Following these guidelines will ensure you are portrayed in the best possible way
- All images should be in colour, black and white images are not acceptable.
