Composition
How to set up your camera and frame your hero.
Camera Horizontal
When taking your Heroic Photo, rotate your camera so it is horizontal and place the hero in the center of the frame.
Make sure that there is space to the left and right of the subject, and a little space above the head.
Camera at Eye Level
Have your partner stand about 3-5 feet away from you and make sure that the camera lens is at eye level.
From the Waist Up
The bottom of your image should be at your waist with a little room above your head.
Don’t use your camera’s zoom. Start at 3 feet away and back up until the bottom of the frame is at your waist.
Look Into the Camera Lens
When you are ready to take your photo, be sure that your eyes focus on the area of your phone with camera lens.
Maintaining eye contact with the camera lens will ensure that you connect with your target audience through your Heroic Photo.
Make Sure Portrait Mode Is Off
