Media Day Guidelines
PREPARATION:
Every athlete must have their poses predetermined before the shoot. If an athlete is deliberating about a pose, we will tell them how to pose based on our default poses. Our default poses are: dribbling in place, standing with a basketball on the hip, and sitting on a stool with the ball.
You can view a variety of poses here:
RECEIVING MEDIA:
All athlete photos, individual and team photos, will be uploaded to an online gallery. This gallery is unlisted and only those who have the link will be able to view it.
These photos are not optimized to look the best that they can. We will optimize the photos that you select as your favorite, based on the package you ordered.
Select the ones that you want to be optimized by clicking the "heart" icon under the desired image. (You'll know what we mean when you see the photos in the gallery). Only add photos of yourself/son/daughter to the favorites list.
Everyone will receive the team group photos, so you don't have to include those in your selection.
Choose the images where you think you look the best. We can correct for lighting and other imperfections.
If you are having difficulty choosing, just "favorite" all the images you like and we will optimize the ones we think are best.
After your selections are made, we will upload the optimized photos without a watermark. You will be able to download these photos at full resolution, and you can order prints though our gallery!
If you booked a package with a trading card and/or poster, we will create that for you based on images that we captured on the white backdrop. Ordering prints through our gallery is for additional prints, or for those who haven't prepaid in for any printed materials.
We will get your photos out to you as soon as possible! Please be patient and do not post the watermarked photos. As stated earlier, they are not optimized and they don't properly display the quality of work we provide.
MEDIA DAY:
Athletes must show up wearing their uniform and be ready to be photographed.
If multiple uniforms will be worn, the athlete must change immediately after getting their photo taken, then get back at the end of the line in the same order that they were in originally.
PERMISSIONS:
Parents, coaches, or other onlookers may capture their own amateur photos and/or videos with their smartphone during our media day. They may capture the athletes, our team at Perceived Media, and whatever else catches their interest. However, we must be tagged in any content posted on social media:@VeroBeachPortraits
After clients receive their photos, they may post them anywhere or get them printed on their own, even though they can order prints through our gallery.
Clients may use their photos for any means necessary including personal, and commercial use. This includes, but is not limited to: athlete’s personal social media, athlete’s personal website, a separate entity’s social media, digital or printed magazines, and/or other commercial use.
