Answers to most common HFC before photo questions:
Q: “Do I need to take my photos with a newspaper? Or would a magazine or something else be ok?”
A: Yes, we are asking that everyone exclusively use a newspaper – this is the est universally accepted time stamp method that we are aware of.
Q: “What do I do with my before photos? Do I send them to you or just keep them?”
A: Please keep your before photos, you will send your before AND after photos to us at the same time at the end of our challenge.
Q: “I took my photos before Jan 1st, is that ok?”
A: Sorry, per our rules you must take your photos no earlier than Jan 1st. Photos taken before that date will not be accepted as they give an unfair advantage as we choose winners based on their transformation from your before and after photos.
Q: “Do I need to hold a newspaper in all of the shots (front, side, back)?”
A: Yes, this is the only way that we can verify that all shots were taken at the same time.
I think that about covers it…if you have any other questions please let us know.
Thanks and good luck!
