Feeld Gym Photos Photo Checklist

Write a one-sentence goal (e.g., ‘show strength and openness to partner workouts’). Use that goal to choose shots that match the vibe you want to communicate on Feeld.

Pick a gym with photo-friendly corners and schedule during quiet hours to avoid bystanders and signage in the background.

Confirm the gym’s rules and, if required, get written permission from staff so you can shoot without being asked to stop or exposing private spaces.

Identify 2–3 clean backdrops (plain wall, rig area, turf) and shoot quick phone thumbnails there to verify they read well at small Feeld sizes.

Reserve a photographer familiar with fitness shots or bring a tripod and remote so you can produce consistent framed images without awkward selfies.

Prepare short captions (e.g., ‘lifting + open to partnering gym sessions’) and a line confirming consent if partners appear; you can paste these directly when uploading.

Use a phone with a good main sensor or a mirrorless camera—both can produce high-quality Feeld images if framed correctly.

Set shutter ≥ 1/500s (or use burst mode on phones) for lifts and dynamic moves to freeze clean form that looks authentic on Feeld.

Capture the largest file possible to preserve skin tone and detail during edits for Feeld thumbnails and gallery crops.

Use continuous autofocus and face/eye detection so your head and eyes stay sharp in both portrait-style and action frames.

A compact reflector or small LED panel softens harsh gym overhead light and prevents deep shadows on faces in Feeld thumbnails.

Start the session by capturing a clean, smiling or neutral head-and-shoulders shot so your primary Feeld thumbnail shows your face clearly.

Shoot a squat, deadlift, pull-up or kettlebell swing with good form to show athleticism—use burst so you can pick the cleanest frame for Feeld.

Take a straight full-body photo to communicate posture, height cues, and outfit fit; stand a few meters back and use a tele/photo equivalent for flattering compression.

Capture hands on bar, chalk dust, or sweat on the brow—these small details add authenticity in your Feeld gallery without being explicit.

If you use a mirror, angle and crop to remove signage, other people, and identifying elements so your Feeld photo doesn’t reveal location or unintentionally include bystanders.

Before shooting partners or other gym-goers, get explicit (text or email) consent about which faces will appear and how you’ll crop/caption images for Feeld.

Have a fitted tank for torso definition and a long-sleeve or crew for a more casual look; swap between shots to broaden appeal on Feeld.

Avoid neon patterns; neutral solids (black, navy, gray, olive) keep focus on you and reproduce predictably across devices used on Feeld.

Avoid shirts with gym names, coach logos, or workplace identifiers that could reveal location or make images feel commercial on Feeld.

Bring a towel, deodorant, hair product, and face blotters to freshen up between sets so you look intentional in close Feeld shots.

Take off anything with your full name, membership barcode, or workplace logo so photos won’t expose private associations when posted to Feeld.

Strip EXIF/GPS data from images or use your phone’s privacy export so your Feeld uploads don’t include geotags.

Edit to remove recognizable faces or logos in the background; this prevents doxxing and keeps the focus on you on Feeld.

Don’t shoot in changing rooms or behind staff-only barriers; plan how you’ll leave discreetly if asked by staff or other members.

Export images in aspect ratios that keep your face visible at small sizes; preview the mobile thumbnail to ensure recognizability before uploading.

Adjust exposure, contrast, and white balance conservatively so skin tones look natural across phones used by Feeld members.

Place a clear face-first photo as your main profile image; use gym photos as supporting shots deeper in the gallery to avoid misinterpretation.

Use short captions like ‘lift + open to partners’; if a partner appears, state explicit consent in the caption (e.g., ‘partner consent obtained’).
