Photos

Two at minimum, and more is better: the more we have, the better your story looks on the page. Full body shots work far better than face only, and a similar pose in both makes the change obvious. JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 12 MB each. Please send the originals rather than screenshots, and do not add text or collage them together, we handle that part.
