They're terrible - not only un-lifelike & unflattering, but also look like the heads were photoshopped onto the bodies!
Looks like s/he also really, really upset Martyn Pert ...

They certainly dispel the idea (that older supporters have) that 'all modern footballers look the same'. |  | | |

They're fine, what are people expecting?
Maybe a cat filter on a few or some of them with a rose in their teeth? |  | | |

I don’t actually understand what’s wrong with the photos. |  | | |

Are you looking at them on your phone or laptop? I looked on my phone first of all, and have to admit didn't really see a problem.
Then I looked again when on my laptop and realised it looks like we're putting them in front of a funhouse mirror to have their photos taken. | |

Look at all the photographic ‘experts’ on this thread.
How many of you have EVER worked commercially with a client, or have any idea what a ‘cut out’ is.
The player pics are very clearly what’s been asked for the the commercial director and ‘lack depth’, (which has nothing to do with lens choice), so the club can use them for multiple things. [Post edited 29 Jul 2023 15:25]

If 70% of the responses from the core audience say that they are laughably bad, then they are terrible photos.
That and the fact that I could have done a better job of cutting out those ears in Photoshop 4 back in the 90s, using magic wand lassoo, fiddling around with sensitivity, and layer masking.
You must be able to tell that some of those heads have been pasted onto other people's bodies?
My bet is that the photos had to be taken before the shirts were ready, and then a few staff members acted as models for the body shots. | | | |

“That and the fact that I could have done a better job of cutting out those ears in Photoshop 4 back in the 90s, using magic wand lassoo, fiddling around with sensitivity, and layer masking.”
Which proves my point. None of that is how cut outs are done. They are done in the studio, not in photoshop.
The point is, for all the posts aimed at the photographer, no one has a clue what images they supplied the club, nor why the club used these. Any good photographer will have supplied the club with multiple images of the players, in a variety of poses, which the club would then have used how they see fit, the photographer doesn’t just paste them up on the team page, they just supply what the client asks for and the club do the rest.
I know our photographer is very very good at their job. [Post edited 29 Jul 2023 17:53]

If you refer back to an earlier post of mine, you'll see I said
"whatever the reason for these poor-quality photos, it seems out of keeping with Gamechangers' welcome professionalism in all other areas since they took over the Club, and therefore all the more disappointing."
The Club should have organised this better - had someone 'proofread' the photos as they appeared on the website, seen how they came across as so bad (at least on computers/laptops) & had a different set of photos taken if necessary.
For people not already fans or otherwise connected to ITFC, they can literally be the 'face' of the club, the first thing people see when they look us up. Why spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar & give such a poor first impression? The cost of retaking would be peanuts in comparison with the millions spent on infrastructure recently. | |

They look stupid
If I were the photographer, I'd be asking for some compensation.
Or a new career. Depending on who's fault It is. |  |

It's the image processing that is so awful, clearly cut and then passed onto a flat white background, and whoever has done this has obviously messed up the image ratio too. I doubt the original images looked like these at all. |  | | |
