Dino Collection Standard

The official standard

One look. One standard.
Every dino.

Friendly photo coaching, collectible-card framing, and a few simple rules so every shot in your collection feels like it belongs together.

Collectible photo education

Teach the standard before the retakes.

Use one shared tutorial for lighting, framing, purpose-based crops, and honest marketplace photography.

A clean backdrop and soft light make condition easier to read.
The safe zone keeps camera crops and listing cards consistent.
Purpose-based framing reduces extra retakes later.

Marketplace Listing

Square crop for buyer feeds — fill ~80% with the dino.

Lighting

Bright, indirect daylight near a window - no harsh overhead lamps.

Clean background

Plain wall, paper, or matte fabric. Let the dino be the hero.

Centered and whole

Keep the whole dino inside the safe zone so crops stay tidy everywhere.

Consistency wins

Use the same backdrop and lighting across your collection whenever you can.

Inline tip

Match the crop to the job before you shoot.

Marketplace, trade, binder, and showcase photos can all be correct, but they should not start from the same framing by default.
