HOW TO DONATE PHOTOGRAPHS
We are looking for quality photos by amateurs and professionals alike for which the photographer gives explicit permission that the photo can be used and reproduced freely by anyone. The photos can’t have captions but they can have watermarks on them (as long as the watermark doesn't include the copyright symbol). For the subjects, we're looking for people of color, people with a variety of body types, people with disabilities, and obviously older people doing any kind of yoga pose (or meditating) with or without props. If you (or your subject) don’t fit into any of those categories, you can donate a photo of a someone doing some kind of accessible yoga pose. All photographs should meet the following criteria:

If you (or your subject) don’t fit into any of those categories, you can donate a photo of a someone doing some kind of accessible yoga pose. All photographs should meet the following criteria:
1. Be a digital photograph (or scan) in a reasonably high resolution and in focus.
2. Have a reasonably attractive physical surrounding (either outside or inside). Urban environments are as good as nature shots.
3. No messy rooms, even if we sometimes do yoga in messy rooms. So put away the plastic water bottles, extra yoga props, etc. before taking the shot. These distract from the subject of the photo. (Mobility aids of any kind, of course, are fine, as our pets or children.)
4. If the photo is a single person doing a yoga pose, the alignment must be one that I consider to be healthy.
5. Have the person or people doing yoga be the main subject of the photo rather than the background (so no tiny people in front of large mountains, etc.). And no body parts can be cropped off, unless in an artistic fashion.
6. Be well lit and aesthetically pleasing.
