Photos

[woof222]

I am so confused on what you mean by send them a photo, is it send them the photo that you want signed, if so does that mean you have to buy the poster. Like i said I am really confused. Oh and How big does the photo need to be. And I read another question and it got me confused as well, there needs to be two envelopes? ( one that goes to the celebrity and one that i returning) Thanks for the help

Welcome to the forum woof222!

The photo they recommend you send is one for the star to sign and return to you that way they don't have to try to find a good photo for you--you have already sent one. The size doesn't matter. I send smaller photos because they cost less but you can also send 8X10s or other sizes.

Here is what I do:
-I take one envelope and address it TO the celebrity. You want it large enough that everything fits--including your photo if you send one.
-Put your name and address and stamps on another envelope--a SASE--so the celebrity can use that envelope to mail everything back to you in
-Take your letter to the person, your SASE, and photo(if you chose to send one) and put it in the envelope addressed to the celebrity.

I hope I've helped. Let me know if you have any other questions.

That's what I do, especially for athletes I want signed. I am very picky about the photo and clarity. I go to Google and image search the player, and make sure the image size is "Large" so I know the resolution will be great. I then print it off in 8x10 size from home and stuff it in the envelope with cardboard, letter, self addressed stamped envelope, and a Sharpie (most don't include the Sharpie, but I do for convenience for them. I figure if they're doing me a favor by signing it, the least I can do is provide the pen).

For instance, I sent to Travis Hafner, designated hitter for the Cleveland Indians baseball team. I had the photo in mind I wanted was the game my wife and I were at where he hit the walk-off grand slam. I Googled that photo in Large size, printed it off and sent it out. I think it makes the autograph more meaningful because my wife and I were actually at that game. When I sent out to Eric Church, country music singer, I Googled a Large photo from the concert my wife and I attended in April.

is it send them the photo that you want signed,

yes if you want a specific photo signed you should send it to them

if not they will send you whatever they have around, most of the time its a basic head shot they use for casting calls and agencys
