# Team photo

## Read first
Team.md for the team, who's in it, what to wear, the brand colour, the workplace and the feel; every person's photo wired in.

## Everyone, exactly
- Every person from the wired photos, each one once and no one added: their own face, skin tone, hair, glasses, height and build, kept exactly. The picture has exactly as many people as there are photos.
- Every face clear and lit, eyes open, no one hidden behind another or cut by the frame; each person's hair colour, skin, freckles and glasses exactly as in their photo.
- Standing left to right in the order of the photos (Person 1 on the left) whenever they stand in a line or a row.
- One light and one camera for the whole group, so they look photographed together on the same day: the same light direction, colour and grain on every face.
- Clothes in Team.md's dress code and palette: coordinated, not uniform.
- Posed like a real photographer would: staggered in depth and height, one leaning or sitting, a hand on a shoulder, turned toward each other; never everyone square in one straight row.
- No words or logos anywhere: whiteboards, screens, laptops and walls are blank or show simple shapes.

## The four (3:2)
1. Studio: a seamless backdrop in the brand colour, the team staggered in two rows (some standing, some on stools), soft even light, real smiles.
2. At work: in the workplace from Team.md, standing and leaning naturally among desks or tools, the room softly blurred behind.
3. Outdoor: a street, rooftop or park at golden hour, walking or standing together, warm light in their hair.
4. Candid: around a table or whiteboard, laughing and talking, caught between moments, faces still clear.

## Avoid
A missing or extra person, faces that drift from their photos, everyone given the same face shape or smile, a stiff line-up, faces lit differently from the rest, and logos or writing of any kind.
