Details

You will attend the Prep Dig Top 250 Expo on December 1st. You will be expected to be on-site from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm. 

The main objective for this one-day event are headshots of each athlete in attendance, delivered the day of the event. During check-in, we will have each player come to you for a standard headshot. This way, each player will at least have one photo taken of them. Scroll to the bottom for instructions regarding the headshots. Share all photos via Google Drive, Dropbox or We Transfer via JPEG and PNG files only.

In regard to action photos during the gameplay, we don't need to capture the perfect play nor do we need many photos, but we are looking for clear photos of the front of players (Number and face visible). Anywhere from 15-20 total action shots during the day is more than sufficient. Maximize the downtime! Play stoppages and in-between the action photos are the #1 goal and lead to the best photos for our use. Light edits are recommended but photos don’t need to be perfect. 

You will be asked to share all photos with our media team as soon as possible — and no later than leaving the event — via Google Drive or DropBox so that we can utilize them in a timely fashion.

Headshot Instructions

1. Find the backdrop and get set up in the best place for athletes
   1. Find a spot right near the check-in so players know they MUST get a headshot
   2. Director will help set up the backdrop that was sent to them
2. Taking the photo(s) (Take TWO PHOTOS of each participant)
   1. Photo 1: Make sure their number is visible.
      1. The purpose of this photo is to be able to identify who is who afterward for labeling purposes. On the headshot, you will be too close to the player to see their number, so this one is simply to identify the player.
   2. Photo 2 (Headshot):
      1. Capture from just below the logo on their jersey to several inches above the player
         1. Give their head some space
            1. The image can always be cropped tighter later if necessary. Don’t worry about including the lower torso and legs.
      2. Make sure the player is standing directly in front of the backdrop
      3. Make sure you are in a direct line with the player and backdrop so the backdrop does not appear to be at an angle
      4. Make sure you cannot see the stand for the backdrop in the photo
3. After the headshot photos [please proceed to the court to begin taking action and miscellaneous photos.
