material, use Squiggle’s height to determine the

Photography guidelines
The image, whenever possible, should tell
a story.
Use these key words to guide you:
Positive. Real. Just like how life should be.
The subject should never be overwhelmed by the
background. Ensure no visual clutter. Mantain a
sense of balance to the overall composition.
Photography
Photography notes
The general rule is avoid dark, saturated, moody
pictures. Moody is a feeling not a tone as
demonstrated here.
The visual on the right has a dark background
but the subject is cheerful.

Squiggle and photography

Photography
Squiggle and photography
The Squiggle in the Squiggle shape should always
stand out. If it appears to melt into the background,
adjust the lighting of the overall picture until
Squiggle becomes prominent.
