Review for professional representation

Check that you look like a successful alumnus/alumna who represents your university well. Background should be clean and appropriate for publication. Expression should convey both achievement and connection to your alma mater community.
Refine with markers if needed

If edges need cleanup or the tone isn't quite right for university materials, tap markers on specific areas and regenerate. Most alumni photos work without markers - they're optional for precision.

Tip: Think about how this represents both you and your university - professional pride in your alma mater.

"Got the alumni directory request a week before print deadline. My LinkedIn photo was fine but the background was too casual for university materials. Changed it to clean gray in 15 seconds. Looks great in the printed directory." @AlumniReady

If something looks off

Looks too corporate or lacks warmth for alumni community

Why: Alumni directories celebrate community, not just professional success.

Try: adjust for warm professional alumni appearance, accomplished yet approachable, university community connection

Try This →

Tip: Alumni photos should feel like part of a community, not just a corporate directory.

Too casual for university publication standards

Why: The photo doesn't meet the professional level university materials require.

Try: enhance for university publication standard, professional and polished, appropriate for alma mater representation

Try This →

Tip: University publications have specific professional standards - 'publication standard' signals this.

Background doesn't look appropriate for print materials

Why: Some backgrounds don't photograph well in printed directories.

Try: replace with clean neutral backdrop optimized for print, professional gray suitable for university directory

Try This →

Tip: Neutral grays print consistently - avoid whites that can look harsh or patterns that distract.

Lost connection to university or community feel

Why: Over-professionalization can lose the alumni community aspect.

Try: professional alumni appearance with warmth, representative of university community, accomplished yet connected

Try This →

Tip: Use 'community' and 'representative' to maintain the alumni connection.

AI changed the wrong area or something unexpected

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want changed, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Doesn't match other photos in the directory I've seen

Why: Some universities have specific photo style guidelines for consistency.

Try: Check if your university provided photo guidelines - adjust prompt to match their specific requirements

Try This →

Tip: Contact alumni office if you have style questions - consistency matters for directories.

What makes a good alumni directory photo?

Professional yet approachable. Clean neutral background appropriate for print. Expression that conveys both accomplishment and connection to your alma mater community. Should represent your success while showing pride in your university. Avoid overly corporate poses or too casual vacation looks.

Can I use my LinkedIn photo for alumni directory?

What if I'm including my current job title or accomplishments?

Many alumni directories include professional information alongside photos. Your photo should match that narrative - if you're listing impressive career achievements, make sure your photo conveys that accomplishment level while still being approachable.
