The PGA of BC administration team provides photo portraits in front of our Association-branded backdrop as a complimentary service to our Golf Professionals. PGA of BC Membership & Events Manager Doug Titterington is pictured here to provide an example of the resulting image.

However, as these photos are typically taken at major PGA of BC gatherings such as the Spring Education Seminar and Buying Show, there have been few opportunities to offer this service over the past year.

In the absence of these gatherings for the foreseeable future, the administration team would be pleased to add the PGA of BC backdrop to an existing portrait photo for any interested members. Photos should be framed from the middle of the torso and up, with the subject facing the camera straight on but with their body oriented right of the camera as in the example photo, preferably on a solid-colour or white background. Business formal attire is strongly recommended.

Send your high-resolution image meeting the above description to Communications & Marketing Manager Eric MacKenzie at eric@pgabc.org for processing.
