### **Overview**
We’re excited to bring you the 2024 Fall Season Best Practices resources built to increase your sales potential. At GotPhoto, our goal is to empower you to succeed as a photographer by being your growth partner.
**What’s in it for you?**
You want to grow your business - and we want to help. Our tips and tricks are designed to get you there.
### ***Best practices for Sports Photography***
Follow these proven tips to ensure consistency and save time during your sports photo jobs.
### ***Photography tips: keep it consistent!***
**Lighting:**
Ensure consistent lighting between subjects, especially when creating composite groups. This creates a seamless, polished final image.
**Scaling:**
Use a tripod and have athletes stand on the same mark each time. This speeds up post-production and enhances design accuracy.
### ***Proofing tips: you're in control!***
**Review your proofs:**
Use a computer to review images clearly. Leave detailed comments and keep revision rounds minimal to avoid delays.
**Complete your review:**
After commenting, select "Changes Required" or "Approved" to inform the production team. Not doing so may delay your job.
### ***Job setup tips: Set yourself up for success!***
**Names list:**
Start with an accurate list. This helps your job move quickly from editing to sales.
**Groups matter:**
Use unique group names. These details (first name, last name, group name, jersey number) are used for creating virtual groups and memory mates.
**Don’t forget the coaches!**
Include coaches in your names list. Use placeholders like "Coach" for the first name and a number for the last name.
### ***It's been a while***
Take advantage of updates this season: expanded backgrounds, bundle pricing, faster turnaround, and enhanced Traditional graphics.
