Suggested photo guidelines:
- Photograph in good light, such as mornings and late afternoon, or use a flash when natural light is poor.
- Avoid touristy set ups, such as groups of students smiling in front of a landmark or cultural icon.
- Avoid too much skin: while some trips take place in hot climates, we are unable to accept photographs of students in revealing clothing.
