Feeld Group Photos Photo Checklist

Confirm verbal and written consent about being photographed and posted on Feeld, including agreement on visibility and captions; save a message thread as record.

Pick one or two faces to occupy the cropped avatar and agree who should be visually primary so the camera and framing prioritize them.

Review Feeld’s profile photo rules and your account privacy options to avoid posting images that breach policy or reveal private info.

Pick a background (home, festival, café, nature) that communicates your group's lifestyle or interest without cluttering faces; scout for quiet, private spots if desired.

Schedule a specific 45–90 minute window around soft light to maximize flattering natural light for the whole group.

Draft concise captions or relationship labels (e.g., 'Triad - poly & travel') and note any members who prefer reduced visibility before uploading.

Position the primary person slightly forward and centered to ensure their face remains visible after Feeld’s avatar crop.

Arrange 1–3 people close to camera and place additional members slightly back or in secondary photos to avoid a cramped avatar.

Arrange people at different distances and angles (three-quarter turns, seated/standing steps) so faces don’t line up and crop awkwardly.

Shoot a few natural moments (laughing, holding hands) and a clean posed frame to give options for Feeld’s gallery and avatar image.

Use one shared prop (coffee cup, map, guitar) to show interaction, keeping it low-profile so faces remain central.

Ensure everyone’s eyes or at least face shape is visible—no uniform accessories that make identification ambiguous.

Face subjects toward an open window or soft daylight to evenly illuminate faces and reduce heavy shadows that lose detail at small sizes.

If shooting with light behind the group, add fill (reflector or phone flash) so faces remain readable in Feeld thumbnails.

Capture a tall vertical crop for Feeld’s profile plus wider horizontal shots for gallery use so you can choose the best avatar crop later.

Use the best quality available and tap-lock on the primary face to prevent the phone from re-exposing when people move.

A folded white poster board or small reflector reduces under-eye shadows on faces and keeps skin tones consistent across group members.

Remove clothing or props with text that could identify workplaces, locations, or private details that you don’t want public.

Choose 2–3 colors that work together so the group reads as connected without looking staged or identical.

Quickly confirm hair isn’t covering faces and glasses glare is minimized so features remain recognizable in thumbnails.

A compact kit solves shine and stray-hair issues on the spot, which improves close-up readability on Feeld.

Choose a look that subtly communicates your dynamic (e.g., matching accents for a couple, alternative styling for kink-friendly groups) while keeping silhouettes clear.

Before group poses, capture a tight headshot of every person so you have backups and clearer images for gallery sections or profile swaps.

Confirm with each person whether they want the photo posted to Feeld and whether they’re okay with being named or tagged outside the app.

While shooting, preview the image at small sizes or zoom out to simulate Feeld’s avatar and adjust framing if faces get cropped.

Record at least three takes per pose—neutral, smiling, candid laugh—so you can pick the expression that reads best on Feeld.

Use prompts (shared memory, inside joke) to generate authentic connection moments rather than forced posing.

Name files or keep a short shoot log so you can match photos to consent notes and captions later.

Create a dedicated crop where the chosen primary face sits in the safe zone for Feeld’s circular/square avatar so nobody important is cut off.

Export at Feeld’s suggested pixel dimensions and quality to avoid in-app recompression that can blur faces.

Adjust exposure, contrast, and color modestly to keep skin tones consistent; avoid heavy smoothing or extreme filters that misrepresent appearance.

Reduce background prominence so the group remains the focal point while keeping edges natural and not over-processed.

Add a short caption that indicates relationship structure (e.g., 'Poly triad — travelers') and notes that all pictured consent to the photo being public.
