Anything that is original, eye-catching, or makes someone take more notice of the catalog covers is something we look for. In the past we have taken images and been able to horizontally flip them thereby creating this room. We need to have room on the left side of the image for the thumb index. The back cover photo is no different from the front except in one respect. In the event of a final cover choice, we prefer to be sent the original digital image or slide to get the best quality out of the image.īack Cover Photo. Any film that can hold its quality up to this size and print dpi is fine. The front and back cover shots will be printed as 8 ½ x 11 in 300 dpi format. We can use a horizontal (landscape) shot, as opposed to a vertical (portrait), and then crop it as long as the image lies within a vertical cropping. The front and back covers of the catalog are both in a vertical format. We are not interested in any photos of individuals or groups of skydivers standing on the ground No submissions of these will be accepted. We do not print any BASE jumping nor any Tandem photographs. We also prefer to see skydivers wearing head and foot protection. Headgear, goggles, jumpsuits, altimeters, audible altimeters, and gloves are all good. We prefer to have the people in the photo wearing equipment since that is what we sell. Subjects that are wearing brighter more colorful clothing usually stand out more. We like the subject of the image to contrast with the background. In the past, we have used sunset photos and even a night jump photo, although by and large most of the photos are daytime. We typically prefer that the photo be brighter. If however, we came down to a choice between two photos of equal quality, we would opt for the one that met more of our preferences. However what we prefer and what we get, or choose, are not always the same. In light of the digital age, we are also able to use photos that in one way or another may be less than perfect and enhance them, removing blemishes, flipping images, altering colors, etc. We do not have a preference as far as what type of skydiving photo it is rather we look for something that either is eye-catching or pleasing to the eye. Over the years Para Gear has used photos from all of skydiving's disciplines. We have included examples of previous catalog covers for your reference. We have taken the time to briefly describe the format and certain criteria that we look for, in order to help you to see if you have something worth submitting. Para Gear is interested in photographic submissions that you may have for the 2023 - 2024 Para Gear Catalog #84. Para Gear Photo Submissions For Catalog #84
