Guidelines:
Avoid Props: Remove any props such as scarves or sunglasses where possible unless they are intentionally part of the image art.

Lighting: Avoid evening or artificial lighting; opt for ambient or natural light for the best results. Avoid photos with sharp light/ shadows or subjects in shadow (light source behind).
