Do you have to send something to be signed?

Post by Amslp03 »

I'm just wondering do you have to send in photos for celebs to sign? Or do they supply their own photos?

& if you do have to send them in..where do you get them?

Thanks, I seen them but still am confused. I don't know if sending in photos gives you a higher success rate? I don't have a printer so it would be hard to send in photos :(

I always try to send my own photos when I can. I usually just find pictures on the internet (google images, for example) ad print those out. Sometimes I use glossy paper, sometimes just regular printer paper. If you don't have a printer you could send an index card for the person to sign! Occasionally they could send you their own photos, but that's only happened with me a couple times. Hope that helps!

I think it would be easier if you send one, because maybe they don't have a picture right beside them. If you don't have a good printer, you there might be a printer shop near you or smtn like that.

I haven't sent anything to be signed, but I have enclosed an SASE each time and got a signed photo in response.

I've only done a couple, and I don't really shoot for the A-listers, just stars of TV shows I like. I always include pictures, usually a couple of 5"x7"s as they fit nicely where I like to display them. If I'm shooting for a few actors/actresses in one TV series I'll try to find similar images (such as the Game of Thrones Season 4 'Valar Morghulis' posters are put one for any that I send off for. I've got a few good ones back this way. I don't send many requests though.

Also, I just do this thing online on the Tesco store website in the UK where I can have them printed for £0.25 each and go and collect them from Tesco when I do my shopping. convenient.
