                things to void in choosing picture for Partners

                When creating pitch decks or case studies featuring our partners, selecting the right photo is essential to representing them in the best possible light. We aim to choose high-quality, authentic images that reflect their professionalism, personality, and the spirit of our collaboration.

                Product photo

                As many of our partners offer commercial products, professionally shot product images are often available. Make use of these assets and select photos that are visually appealing, well-composed, and highlight the product’s design and detail effectively.

                Location brand

                Images of brand locations (e.g., storefronts or interiors) may not always be professionally photographed. When selecting these images, ensure they meet at least the following criteria: the storefront name is clearly visible, and the interior displays are clean, well-organized, and representative of the brand.

                Outdoor/ events

                Photo quality for outdoor or live events may vary depending on the event setup. Prioritize images that clearly capture the context such as wide shots of the stage, audience, installations, or displays. These visuals should communicate the scale, energy, and branding of the event clearly.

                Advertising

                Advertising comes in many forms billboards, print, digital, in-store, or experiential. Regardless of the format, always prioritize images that clearly showcase the advertisement along with the featured product. Key elements should be fully visible and in focus, such as the product itself, any branding, and context that adds value (e.g., the recognizable face of a brand ambassador or the environment where the ad is placed, especially in outdoor settings). Choose visuals that highlight the effectiveness and visibility of the campaign.

                People

                Images of people, whether individual portraits, team photos, or candid interactions, should communicate a clear narrative aligned with our message. Select photos that are well-composed and focused, capturing meaningful moments such as a partner receiving an award, staff interacting with customers, or visitors enjoying the environment. These human-centered visuals bring authenticity and warmth to our storytelling, making the experience more relatable and engaging.

                Things to avoid

                When selecting images, it's important to avoid several common pitfalls. Overedited photos, with high contrast, product shots that look too sterile or are typically used on shopping platforms, cliché advertisement, heavily photoshopped images, overly staged arrangements an come across as unnatural, inauthentic or overly commercial. Similarly, tilted angles, or busy scenes lacking a clear focal point, or view-obstructing objects reduce clarity and impact. Finally, pixelated or low-resolution images should not be used, as they undermine the overall quality and professionalism of your content.

                Always aim for clear, authentic, high-quality visuals with thoughtful composition and minimal editing.
