Thank you for your perfume photos!

Dear Parfumos,

Thank you for your continued contributions to the photo gallery! We are proud to have some truly remarkable perfume photography on display for fragrance lovers to enjoy as the result of your efforts. As this feature continues to gain in popularity, we hope the following guidelines will be helpful:

• The flacon and packaging should stand in the foreground and occupy a position of prominence in relationship to other objects included in the shot.
  
• The photo should not be blurred. Clarity should be sufficient to read the typescript on the flacon and packaging.
  
• The composition should not be over or underexposed. Artistic lighting is appreciated, but the flacon and packaging should be clearly visible.
  
• Please be advised that color photography is preferred, as it a gives the viewer the most accurate representation of the flacon and packaging. Black and white photos will only be accepted on a discretionary basis.

• Custom photo borders look well in isolation but create unnecessary clutter in a gallery setting. Therefore, they should be avoided.
  
• The fragrance identified in the caption should be the focal point, so no other perfumes should appear in the foreground of the picture. However, including different perfumes is acceptable if they are situated in the background.
  
• Photos of multiple flacons of the same perfume are permissible.
  
• Each Parfumo member may submit a maximum of five separate photographs for a given perfume.
  
• Due to the increasing number of photos submitted daily, multiple photographs of the same perfume should not be uploaded at the same time. Please select the best picture of the series for consideration.
  
• In order to respect trademark protections, no other products should be visible in the picture (e.g., a bar of Hershey's chocolate).
  
• Photos which include pets will be declined. Although your particular pet may not find posing for a photo to be stressful, some animals do, which is why we feel the need to discourage this practice.
  
• In order to comply with a warning issued to Parfumo by one of the more popular search engines, photographs containing nudity are prohibited.
  
• Any photo submitted must be your own work product.
  
• As a general rule, the content of photo collages should be restricted to material created by you. Compositions which incorporate art and/or photography that is not your work product may pose copyright infringement issues. Exceptions include famous works of art that are considered to be in the public domain.
  

Thanks again for making Parfumo such a special place to share the love of perfume!
