Tips For a Great Photo

• Clean your room and empty garbage cans.
• Make your bed. Create crisp corners and make sure bedding is hanging straight, or tucked in.
• Pay attention to the small details like neatly stacked books, arranged pillows, centered rugs, straight wall art, etc.
• Lighting can create drama, but dark spaces won’t photograph well. Make sure details can be seen in your pics before uploading.
