Introduction – The importance of Profile Pictures
Members’ first impression about you always comes from Profile Pictures, as these images are the first that appear when they visit the site. For this reason, the requirements are quite high as it is in the Model’s own interest to have excellent quality images, which in turn can increase their traffic.
Accepted Profile image is one of the most important aspects of your success, since Models without profile photo are not able to go online.
Meanwhile having profile picture is a requirement for LiveJasmin Selection, which allows a better position and a chance to participate in Awards game.
Please carefully read the following guide, which we created to help you understand and adjust to our standards, in order to achieve a magazine-like image.
Getting Started
First, allow us to give some tips on how to prepare for the best picture possible. The focus is highlighting your beauty and not your sexuality. How can you achieve it?
Since Models’ goal is to attract visitors into their room, sexy, tasteful outfits are essential, with the kind of stylish makeup that reflects your personality and a sophisticated, fancy hairstyle. You may also put on some unique accessories that emphasize how extraordinary you are. Furthermore, setting up a decent, proper background with excellent lighting conditions is also important. For example, the environment can be an exclusively furnished room.
With excellent quality images that reflect a professional atmosphere, you will surely catch the attention of our costumers. In order to reach the required quality and conditions we kindly suggest to visit a professional photographer if possible, or ask the help of a friend with a great camera.
Also, taking many shots at once is better, since the more you take and the more positions and settings you try, the easier is to select the best photo. Besides, you may upload the other ones to your My Content folders to have more content there!
Profile Picture acceptance
Please note that images are handled in receiving order within 3 hours after you set the image.
In case your picture is rejected, please read the email that is sent to your Inbox ( Model Center / Messages / Support) which contains the reasons of the rejection.
Technical requirements:
- Acceptable image types are JPG, JPEG, PNG
- Recommended image type is JPG, all non-JPG files will be converted

In general
For all categories the same quality and composition requirements apply:
- The quality has to be excellent, crystal-clear sharp images are required.
- The composition of the image must resemble a magazine cover. It has to be tasteful, elegant and neat.
- Professional, studio photo shoots are welcomed and highly encouraged.
- Both of these requirements have to be fulfilled. A good quality photo taken in someone’s simple living room is NOT acceptable.
- Only the registered person can appear in the pictures.
Quality Requirements
Most common mistakes regarding quality
- Pictures taken by a web camera or mobile phone: Unfortunately, these images do not meet the quality requirements. We strongly recommend the use of a digital camera. If you do not yet own a digital camera you may consider borrowing one from a friend or visiting a professional photographer.
- Ask for help from someone who has some knowledge about photography: Whether you have your pictures taken in a professional studio or at home, make sure that the person who is taking your photo has some proficiency, as a minimal knowledge about how to set the lighting conditions and composition can make big differences.
Sharp and Clear Images
By setting the image quality to the highest you can avoid ending up with over compressed, below-standard pictures which may keep the Members away from entering your room. No matter how great Model you are, a pixelated, grainy photo always makes a bad first impression.
Please feel free to use online picture editing tools to optimize your image. There are many popular image-sharing websites that offer the option of editing and optimizing your picture with one click, so you can bring out the best of your pictures.
- Blurred, fuzzy, grainy photos are not pleasant to look at, it is impossible to appear attractive and sexy if the outline of your face and body are not visible.
- Web cameras are not suitable for taking high quality profile pictures. We strongly recommend to use a digital camera.
- Selfies, images when you are holding the camera in your hand, also give an unprofessional impression. Please either visit a professional photographer or ask someone to take a picture. You may focus on looking the best on your photo instead of worrying about handling the camera.

Image Size
Changing the size of the photo by adjusting the aspect ratio will result in distorted pictures. Please properly crop the picture to get the desired size, it is recommended to use the genuine version of the taken picture.
Start attracting more mobile users in just a few clicks! Upload a new profile picture and crop it for mobile as well.
In order to re-crop an existing profile picture, just go to the ‘Profile picture’ section of your account, click on the Profile picture preview thumbnails and save the new mobile profile picture.
Lighting conditions
Setting up proper lighting conditions is very important. Here are some useful tips for the perfectly lit picture:
- Avoid standing in front of a window or a lamp.
- Try taking the picture so that the light comes from behind the camera.
- Avoid shiny materials in the background which may reflect the flash.
- Your picture should not be yellow and neither too dark or too bright.
Too dark
Too bright
Too many shadows
Composition Requirements
Once you are sure that the quality meets the requirements, you may start focusing on the composition of your picture. The goal is to create a tasteful, attractive image, that gives a professional impression.
Common mistakes that you may pay extra attention to:
- Make sure that your head and face are visible on the picture, pictures of your individual body parts may not be accepted as a Profile Picture.
- Avoid missing part of your head from the image, we cannot accept scalped, headless photos.
- Pay attention to the background, a chaotic background is not appealing, but standing in the corner of the room or in front of a wall or a mirror does not have the desired effect either.
- Avoid displaying items such as wires, power plugs, door knobs and door frames, blinds, fans and other random objects in the background that ruin the overall atmosphere of your picture.
- Avoid uploading casual pictures, such as those taken on vacation, in restaurants, in the middle of your kitchen or living room etc. Try to create an organized, attractive setting so your environment looks just as great as you do!
- Avoid poses where your face is not clearly visible, as you might be unrecognizable this way.
