Photo Tips For Your Before and After Photos


  1. Show as much of your physique as possible. Remember that you will be judged on the most dramatic change, so we must be able to see your body clearly (swim suits or gym trunks are strongly recommended).
  2. Try to shoot in front of a plain surface (preferably a white (or solid colored) wall or background).  The idea here is you and your body should stand out, not the background.
  3. Wear a solid colored swim suit or shorts, again you want to stand out in the photo, not your clothing.
  4. When you shoot your “after” photos, if possible, wear similar clothing and shoot in a similar location as your “before” photos (the same location, if possible). You don’t need to flex or pose; just stand up straight, with your arms slightly angled at your sides. In both sets of photos, you should be directly facing the camera (no side shots or profiles).
  5. Make sure that when you take your photos you are as close as possible to the camera. If the photos are too far away, we cannot judge your entire physique, nor can we see the newspaper headline.
  6. If possible, have your “after” photos taken professionally. Your photos will count for 100% of your score, so make sure they look good!
  7. Please note that Polaroid and negatives will not be accepted.
SAMPLE BEFORE PHOTOS

Before photos, key here is to not look too happy - save that for your after photos 😉 Also, note the newspaper that is used to date the photos.
